About The Author
The question I get asked so often is, "How did you get started with what you do and with the law of attraction?"
As a kid, I remember hearing people complain about their jobs. This never made any sense to me. I remember thinking, "If you do not like what you are doing then go do something else. Life is too short to waste."
So even then, I had curiosity about quality of life and how one goes about living a great life.
In college I was a biology major and my plan was to go to medical school. I took the MCAT (medical college admissions test) and it was time to start applying to medical schools.
Then three things happened that caused me to hesitate.
A retired doctor friend urged me to not go to medical school. He felt that the field of medicine had become too restrictive and that there was no freedom to really practice medicine the way it should be practiced. His advice really shocked me.
My mom had a heart to heart talk with me. She informed me that she did not think that I would be happy being a doctor. She did not believe that it was the right fit for me. Her advice made me wonder.
Then I had a heart to heart with myself. I realized that I was incongruent. I did not like going to the doctor and would only go if I was gravely injured. I also had some serious questions about the benefits of medicine. My father's life was extended by ten plus years but the quality of that time was another matter altogether. Yet, I was still planning on becoming a doctor. That did not make much sense to me.
I decided to have an altruistic adventure and join the Peace Corps while I figured this out. This seemed like a far better option than going through the hassle of applying, spending $50,000 (or whatever a year of med school costs) and putting myself through the brutal first year of med school when I was not certain about what I wanted to do.
In the Peace Corps, I served in The Philippines as a freshwater fisheries specialist.
While in The Philippines, I was exposed to the philosophies of Eastern health and wellness. These made so much more sense to me than the Western medicine paradigm ever did. (Obviously Eastern health and wellness exists in the US, but I had to travel half way around the globe to discover what also existed in my own back yard.)
Then I met and started studying with an energy-healing master. I really dove into that world. Through all the work I did, I developed the ability to see energy.
Even though I studied for a while with the energy-healing master, my greatest teacher was my own curiosity. I figured out many advanced techniques before they were taught to me. When I got into a situation that seemed to be over my head, I did not panic. I just got curious and a new angle, strategy, tool or technique would appear. I learned so much from the people I worked with.
I have worked with thousands of people with everything from headaches to terminal cancer.
Ultimately I developed my own body of work.
One day in 2006 I was doing some thinking. Quantum physics tells us that everything is energy. And, I consider myself an expert in understanding the human energy field. When I put those two together, I blew my own mind. I realized that I had these amazing tools that could be used in so many more ways than I was currently using them.
I started looking at people's businesses and lives from this energy viewpoint to see how they were getting in their own way and what they needed to do to shift this.
Everything about us - our history, beliefs, self-image, experiences, fears, dreams . . . is there in our energy field. All this information is stored in our energy field and I had learned how to access this information.
That is how I do what I do today. I read people's energy fields to discover how they are getting in their own way. Then we deal with their "head trash" so that they can create both greater success and greater significance. I have again created my own body of work.
Although most of my clients are entrepreneurs and people in sales, I have worked with athletes, children, couples, families and people with personal challenges. The basic principles are all the same regardless of the specifics.
I still learn so much from the people I work with and I am very grateful to them for that. Because of that, my work continues to evolve and improve.
I am so grateful to be able to do what I do. People are suffering as a result of their head trash and I can do something about it. I have found a way to serve, inspire and elevate others and I am blessed!
