Are you ready to make conscious value-driven choices? Everyone has the ability to learn how to switch off the instinctual brain, so that we can be more creative and intentional.  When we become more aware, we slow down, focus on our values, and refuse to allow time pressures to short circuit the decision-making process.  I am an unusual combination of witch and FEMA reservist.  For the past 15 years I’ve worked in natural disaster recovery.  In 2011 I worked for six weeks in Tokyo after the Fukushima nuclear plant accident.  I’ve lived and worked in Japan and Europe but spent over 20 years in energy policy ending when I left the federal government to open a B&B in North Carolina.  Unfortunately, I failed as an entrepreneur which led to my book Shattered Illusions (available on Amazon).  I practice flower essence and essential oil therapy and am a licensed Celebrant.
