Successful  Transformations

My work is helping people identify and claim their innate strengths and skills, develop self-confidence, and take steps toward more fulfilling lives.


My business, Successful Transformations, encompasses several areas: * A bodywork practice (see certifications, below) called Deep Relaxation Therapy. * Rite of Passage Ceremonies: The interest that began with my own children grew into a passion: for meaningful acknowledgment and support for all major life transitions – puberty, graduation, entering adulthood, retirement, confronting turning 50, commitment ceremonies, divorce, funerals for people and pets, moving, launching a business, etc. * Ceremonies in general: I've had the good fortune to create and facilitate a wide variety of transformative ceremonies for several groups and individuals. * Counseling and Workshops: Via classes and workshops, I offer support for people who want to explore their self development, get unstuck in general, and rebuild their lives after surviving abuse, assault and other trauma. I use a variety of experiential, expressive, and therapeutic modalities to strengthen life skills and open people to new possibilities.
