A Sacred Journey of Four Decades

Hello, beautiful soul. For over forty years, my passion has been walking alongside seekers like you—at the intersection of ancient wisdom, modern science, and awakened consciousness.

My formal journey includes ordinations in 1997, 2002, and 2008, and a Doctorate of Divinity from the International New Thought Alliance in 2013. But my deepest education came through ten transformative years with Dr. Bill Bauman at the World Peace Institute and the Center for Soulful Living—over 800 hours of profound inner work that taught me this truth: authentic leadership begins with becoming a magnificent leader of self.

My path has woven through clinical hypnotherapy, metaphysical training, energy healing certifications, and sacred ceremonies with Peruvian, Mayan, Hopi, and Navajo elders who generously shared their wisdom. Every certification, every teaching, every initiation has been in service to one soul purpose: creating sacred space for you to remember your divine nature and quantum leap into the magnificence you already are.

Teaching, Ministry & Sacred Service

What lights me up most? Creating transformative community and ceremony.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of:

  • Designing curriculum for three ordination programs

  • Mentoring hundreds of students toward their own spiritual leadership

  • Developing over 60 spiritually empowering intensives and retreats

  • Serving as Senior Minister at Unity of Sun Lakes

  • Providing chaplaincy at Arizona State Veterans Home

  • Founding the Peace House, a sanctuary for world peace and spiritual enrichment

Whether in corporate wellness programs, private sessions (thousands since 1996), addiction recovery work, or sacred death rites—the heartbeat of my work remains constant: your awakening, your healing, your courage to claim authentic power.

Through this sacred work, I’ve learned that you already have everything you need within you. Sometimes you just need a sacred ceremony, divine guidance, energy healing, or a spiritual initiation to unlock your true freedom. When you live from your soul’s passion and truth, you become an unstoppable force for good.

Current Vision & Your Invitation

Through the Center for Empowered Living and Enlightenment, I welcome you into a new paradigm of conscious living and enlightened leadership.

Our certification programs build upon decades of transformational offerings—from Divine Energy Healers Training and Soul Avatar certification (which graduates still celebrate as life-changing) to our Goddess Temple classes and Wise Wild Woman Speaking Circle, where women reclaim their authentic voice and courageously transmute history into her-story.

Whether you’re:

  • A spiritual seeker ready to personally enlighten

  • A business leader seeking new templates for your next bold move

  • An entrepreneur with a vision ready to develop

  • A soul longing to discover your unique medicine

There’s a place for you here.

I’ve mentored many great souls with unique missions—some now serve as instructors and leaders at CELE, others have moved into their prospective fields and communities, carrying this work forward. I’ve learned that evolution happens in sacred community, and I’m honored to walk with you as you step into your magnificence.

Together, we are transforming lives, empowering souls, and co-creating a heart-centered world where everyone lives plugged into their authentic source power.

That’s my invitation to you.
