Cultivate Peace of Mind, Vitality, Resilience, and Joy
Learn how to manage your stress, recognize your gifts, and improve your optimistic outlook.
Do you ever struggle with:
- ✨ anxiety and a racing mind, knowing you want to do more with your life, but you’re not sure what
- ✨ self-induced high standards that ultimately exhaust you because you’re more worried about how others see you than you see yourself
- ✨ a lack of confidence in your authentic self and a loud inner critic that never seems to give you peace
- ✨ old thought or behavior patterns that no longer serve you and prevent you from being your healthiest self in body, mind, and spirit
- ✨ grief arising from the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a change in your health
- ✨ being tired of being tired
It’s time to step into your best self and ignite your joy-filled potential.

We’ve all gotten a Ph.D. in stress; now it is time for a Ph.D. in peace of mind.
Through powerful brain-training practices, meditation, and qigong, you’ll learn how to increase peace of mind, resilience, vitality, and creativity, while deepening your connection to your inner self. These seemingly simple tools can profoundly change your life. Sometimes all we need is the right kind of support and guidance.
Peace of Mind in Daily Life
Sometimes life feels overwhelming.
Expectations arise at work, at home, and with family and friends. We set standards for perfection that are nearly impossible to meet. We feel anything but peaceful.
I know this from first-hand experience. Like you, I’ve felt the blues, blahs, and self-induced bruises from not meeting impossible standards. I’ve experienced depression, anxiety, and burnout.
But, along the way, I discovered tools that helped me effectively change my mindset, shift my perspective, and befriend my inner self. Practicing these tools helped me to realize and grow my inner strengths.
Fire-Up Your Personal Growth
- ✨Increase your self-acceptance and self-compassion. Build a solid foundation of vitality and resilience from which you can sustainably extend compassion to others.
- ✨Increase your self-awareness and peace of mind to reduce anxiety and the blues to better handle daily stress.
- ✨Deepen and enhance your creativity, intuition, physical health, and spirituality.
- ✨Find the courage to create change if you’re stuck in a situation that no longer serves you.
How Does It Work?
Are you ready to explore methods for incorporating self-acceptance, self-compassion, and compassion for others into daily life?
My background includes the study and practice of compassion meditation and qigong for nearly 30 years, and I blend that knowledge with innate intuitive skills. You can learn more about me here. I aspire to empower others to make their own decisions and broaden their perspective of what their gifts, path, and challenges are in this lifetime.
I have distilled much of what I’ve learned into two intertwined self-awareness programs: BodyMind IntelliSense Transformation System and International Spiritual Tours. Each stands alone, but they also support one another.
I also offer weekly online qigong and meditation classes as well as private sessions.
This combination of skills assists those I work with to more clearly understand their heart’s desires, find the courage and strength to make confident decisions, and broaden their perspective about their gifts and path in life.
Are you ready to locate the keys to your inner wisdom?
The keys that unlock doors to greater joy, vitality, and peace in your life? If you’ve ever felt discouraged or wondered if you’ll ever discover your life’s purpose, know that life does have more to offer. I’ll inspire and support you on the path to finding your inner joy and higher self.
Let me help you discover the keys that you need to unlock the door to your most healthy, joyful, and peace-filled life.
Say YES to the journey inward that ignites the inner spark that connects you to your full potential, guides you to self-actualization, and helps you consciously create your heart-centered best life.
Say YES to developing a deep and meaningful relationship with yourself and the essence that makes you unique. Cultivate your own pather rather than relying on guidance from others.
Say YES to finding the courage to explore every aspect of your being, even the ones that are uncomfortable at first.
Through these programs, you’ll cultivate the inner resilience to weather challenges, the courage to take action, and the confidence to grow in the face of difficulties. You’ll emerge from the journey renewed and ready to shine your light into the world.
I teach these techniques—suitable for people of any background or belief system—because I want YOU to live a joy-filled life too. It’s time for you to thrive!
Self-awareness is like a flashlight; turn it on, and shine it on the joy inside.

International Spiritual Adventure Tours
International Spiritual Adventure Tours

My approach to spirituality is non-denominational and universal rather than religious. These heart-opening adventures inspire the sacred in all of us, no matter your faith background.
Each tour explores sacred sites and beautiful landscapes and incorporates heart-opening opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. No matter the destination, each journey illuminates the idea that although every human is unique, we are all united by a desire to live a peaceful and joy-filled life.
