“I preach radical self-care, which is something a lot of women have been socialized not to do, or to feel guilty about. It’s about meeting your own needs without having to look outside yourself, which means tapping into a private sacred space within yourself that can fulfill you in a way that no food, relationship, work or material possession can ever do.”
Educated at Hunter College and Regis University my academic background spans areas of transpersonal and humanistic psychology, expressive arts and mind-body therapies. Fully recovered from bulimia for more than 22 years, food is no longer an issue in my life.
My dream is that every woman who so desires, transform her wounds and unleash her inner passion and beauty—discovering the possibilities of fiercely alive, authentic soul-expression.
Offering ongoing training programs, as well as personal intensives, private sessions (in person or over the phone) and retreats on healing women’s disconnection from their body-wisdom and heart-based truths, I invite my students and clients to explore their very relationship with life—the juicy and the yucky—and find out how to extract the optimal experience from each.
A pioneer in introducing spiritual healing into healing food and weight issues, I am founder of The Aliveness Institute, a national workshop leader, and author of Living Binge-Free, Beyond the Food Game, The Workbook Journal, and numerous audiotapes. The Heart’s Gift is due out in the Fall of 2006.
“You have the formula to unlock the Power of Women all over this land. What a great force for good. Keep expressing your essence. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!!”
