New Computer to Connect with You!
Just two weeks ago my computer froze up on me while I was in the process of returning e-mails. I lost all of my Outlook contacts. The good news is that I now have a new computer and a back-up for all of my e-mails. If you sent me an e-mail in the last couple of weeks and have not heard back from me, please send me a message again to [email protected]. I specifically recall a woman and her daughter contacting me to teach them Intuitive Development. Please contact me, again! I look forward to assisting you on your path! Thank you!

What is it you want to create in your life? You probably know what would be ‘good’ for you. However, there are often things that get in our way of manifesting what we desire. A universal principle is that we attract into your lives what is occurring in our consciousness and often the subconscious. We often have deep learnings around our most difficult challenges.

Feng Shui: The Art of Placement to Harmonize the Flow of Life Force Energy
Gretchen Hansen is a certified Feng Shui consultant. Feng Shui is the Chinese art of placement to harmonize the flow of life force energy in the home and workplace.

CAM Not So Alternative Anymore: Holistic Healing Research Supports Efficacy in OT Practice
Here is an article I co-wrote with Holistic OT, Mandy Lubas. It was published in ADVANCE Magazine for Occupational Therapy Practitioners on June 10, 2013. While this is geared toward Occupational Therapy Practitioners, it is applicable to us all – whether you are a practitioner of health care or one who uses holistic care. Complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) is, by definition, healthcare that falls outside of researched and “proven” methods of mainstream healthcare. This has been determined by our modern-day, mainstream medical system. We are seeing a trend of increased research for what has been considered alternative demonstrate efficacy and are seeing increased use of these approaches. Much of what has…
