MysticMag has the pleasure.

Please be kind enough to share a few details about your professional journey.

Thank you for asking. it’s been a long and winding road. I was originally in corporate America, working for a Washington, D.C. fundraising firm as a writer, then Creative Director. I was ‘on the right track’ of what I thought my parents wanted for my life, making good money, dating a great guy, owning a house in Annapolis, Maryland which I was refurbishing, and doing some volunteer work. Then a bomb went off in my life when I attended large group experiential transformational trainings. In that process, I realized that I wanted to impact others, have them follow what they wanted, and live their own lives with freedom and passion.

I began working for that transformational company, Lifespring, in their enrollment department and quickly became a Leadership trainer. That was the good old days of ‘wax on, wax off’,’ meaning insane hours for 25 days straight and a day off here and there. Hundreds of weekends supporting before I ever spoke a word. So not the instant throw out a shingle transformation that is on the Internet these days.

I then became an Apprentice in learning the first level training, and I’ve trained that training internationally for about 30 years now, and have had the privilege of working with about 65,000 people in diving into who they are and what they want their lives to be.

I later became a licensed marriage and family therapist to continue to deepen the work and support, with a focus on couples work. I am the author of The Birds and Bees of Joyful Monogamy: Nine Secrets to HOT Partnering and hold four different levels of intensive Couples Retreats with astounding and miraculous results. I never tire of witnessing miracles.

I also have the privilege of working with my best friend in delivering the Badass Women’s Leadership Summit and its follow-up program for manifestation from the sacred feminine. That has been awesome to create and witness powerful women stepping into the feminine and creating with ease and grace, not the driving push of willpower and effort.

I was also delighted about seven years ago to learn to bypass my conscious mind with breathwork, and then developed Transcendent Breathwork with a business partner, weaving transcendence into breathwork and using the breath to guide the changes that want to unfold in our lives. It’s beautiful work.

Yes, busy and full life.

What sparked your interest in breathwork and what breathwork techniques do you use?

This is actually a funny story. I had an old friend who I had known for about 26 years, a fellow transformational educator who has now trained for about 48 years – I reached out to him for coaching and my own continued growth. We both have crazy schedules so the only place we could coordinate a meeting was in Hong Kong, at a friend’s house who was out of town, so I told my husband I was meeting a man I hadn’t seen in 26 years, at someone’s house, where he was going to do a breathwork session with me alone in the bedroom. Thank God my husband knows me and I assured him that this was a man with integrity. The rest is history. That man, now my partner in Transcendent breathing, did a breathwork session with me and I was instantly hooked.

I witnessed my body, my emotions, and my thoughts, from outside of myself. I bypassed my conscious mind and I noticed my ego mind as distinct from my Self, with my ego mind not running the show, but in observation of me.

I am a ‘good student’ so I then spent about $15,000 and three years learning everything I could about breathwork and then worked with Jeff Cosby, my partner in this work to create Transcendent breathwork.

We are working on the transcendence of the Self from the ego, from separation to oneness, and from time and space in an experiential way. We use the breath as a mirror and magnifying glass for how the individual lives their life, illuminating what wants to be released or shed, as well as what wants to be created and emerge through that individual. We use transformational distinctions, healing body mapping touch, ontological distinctions, and creation through linguistics as a backdrop to what is unfolding through the breath.

What does your transformation training include?

I did transformational work 30 years ago, fell in love with what I saw open for people, quit my high-paying job and the rest is history. I have traveled the world and served 65,000 people in creating their dreams and being who they want to be in the world.

I am contracted by different Transformational companies throughout the world to deliver the first core training, which for the vast majority of people, ranks as one of the most important things they do in their life – a study done years ago shows that 90% of those who participate in the first level say it was worth way more time, energy, and money than they put in and 97% say the first two levels are as important as getting married or having children. Honored to do that training in many locations on this earth.

I do intensive Transcendent Breathwork Retreats, one called Vibrant Living with Balance, which is a weekend where breath, mediation, and neural-pathway work allows for people to manifest without so much effort and pushing – magical and thrilling when people create what they have tried to for years, and it now comes forth with ease and grace.

I am also the author of The Birds and Bees of Joyful Monogamy: Nine Secrets to HOT Partnering and have four levels of Couples retreats to support people in deep, authentic, intimate, and passionate partnerships. I have worked with people who have been in love for nearly 50 years, and those on the verge of a divorce, and consider the work miraculous – divorce lawyers making a lot less money and people who’ve been together over a lifetime acting like newlyweds. The testimonials speak about these retreats way better than I can put into words.

Finally, I have a partnership with Lisa Kalmin and do the Badass Women’s Leadership Retreat once per year and yes, it is as amazing as it sounds. We have a six-month follow-up to ensure that the results are translating into women’s lives and they do, through feminine grace and power, versus masculine pushing and effort.

Life is good.

You also organize retreats. What do they look like and what can people hope to achieve through them?

There is no ‘hoping’ involved with the retreats, but rather commitment and definite results.

Couples Awakening Intimacy, Couples Passionate Partnering, Couples Intimacy Practice, and Couples VIP trips are all designed to foster emotional and physical intimacy, support, acceptance, respect, and communication in intimate partnerships. What occurs is partnerships with deep connection, transparency, clear communication, and both partners being responsible instead of blaming the other for what is lacking. They are an injection of joy, depth, and love in a way that people never even dreamed was possible. My website has a smattering of some of the beautiful relationships that have flourished through the work.

Wisdom of the Heart, Vibrant Living with Balance, Transcendent Integrative Retreat, and the Breathwork Apprenticeship all focus on transcending our ego mind, the illusion of separation, and time and space in an experiential way that allows a letting go of what no longer serves and making space for what wants to emerge. The Apprenticeship works with people who have created magic through the Transcendent retreats so that they can use that work to serve individuals and small groups through Certification in the breath.

The Badass Women’s Leadership Summit and Manifesting Your Badass Life Series empower women to create from the Divine Feminine, without effort, pushing, and willpower, but standing in their feminine essence, in ease and flow to create results in all domains of their lives – whether starting a new business, healing relationships, losing weight, paying off the mortgage. A collaboration of women conspiring for each other’s greatness.

What other services do you offer?

Quite a bit, but my partner in Inspire Coaching, Lisa Kalmin, and I also offer our services through iNSPIRE BUSINESS SUCCESS, and we’ve had the privilege of working with teams at Mitsubishi, Tesla, and other businesses who want to utilize ontology and cutting-edge techniques to shift results without a lot of skill-based work or actions.

How do you measure success and can you share some success stories?

For me, success isn’t defined by any one person and it is transitory, often changing over time. My personal measurement would be the difference I make in other people’s lives and the way I have forwarded humanity.

Success stories for me are all the people I have worked with who now KNOW their worth and don’t question why they are on this earth. It is the tens of thousands of people who declared something that looked impossible and created it, no matter the odds they faced – becoming millionaires, creating non-profits, getting married or pregnant when they have a track record of broken relationships, or doctors insisted pregnancy was not possible. Success is each person who listened inside their heart to what resonated with who they are, and then created it – the older people who went back to law school or medical school at 65 years old because that is what they’d always wanted – the kids who had done poorly in school and realized they didn’t think they were worth it, then going back and becoming heads of companies – the people who wanted to slow down and experience life with joy instead of being driven by accomplishing and providing their worth – all success that fills up my heart and has me feel privileged to serve.
