I feel eternal gratitude that by chance a friend of mine told me about this programme. I was struggling with a broken marriage, low self-esteem, and a desire to be perfect, coupled with two precious young children to bring up largely by myself. I was hanging on by my fingertips! I left that training walking freely, with hope in my heart, love restored for myself, my former husband, my parents, and all of humanity. I had a vision of how this work could change not just my life but also the lives of others, and truly heal the world we live in. I have worked to that end ever since. I have used the skills and tools to discover my authenticity and embrace my humanity and love-ability. I was privileged to work alongside co-founder Brad Brown in the early days, learning from him and growing through the Lifeshocks, then training alongside him and other Senior Trainers as a Trainer Candidate in the 1990s. I feel honoured to have been able to walk this path and to embrace the notion that there is no event in my life through which life is not coming to awaken me to my highest and most noble self. I have witnessed transformations and breakthroughs that prior to the Programme I would not have considered possible, and now to be skilled enough to facilitate them fills me with awe.
