| Biography: |
Hi! I am 68 and semi-retired, making the transition from being an office-based psychotherapist to offering Inner Healing and Edcucation classes online. I am not a techno-wiz, so I struggle a bit with technology, but I enjoy working with people from around the globe, helping them become the persons they have always wanted to become. Life is good! I say that despite the fact that I had a Heart Attack, followed by Open Heart Surgery 3 years ago. That I am alive today is a miracle. Most of that 3 years I was in denial about the fact that Heart Disease is progressive, and I could be in for another "Event," or a new diagnosis if I didn't strongly change my lifestyle. I won't bore you with the details, but in October of 2023, I got my wake up call. The first thing i did was read Dr Caldwell Esselstyne's book "Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease." I committed to a PBWF, SOS-free lifestyle that week. As you all know, deciding to do it, and having trhe skills to carry it out are two different things! In order to gain knowledge and skills, I have participated in several programs. Each has provided a part of the puzzle. The part that I am most grateful for is realizing that "it is not the same game" for those of us who are chronic dieters and have a long history of obesity as those who do not. To that end, I am eternally grateful to Chef AJ for having shared these concepts so clearly. She is the one who introduced me to the video of Dr. Carney. When I heared that talk on coffee, which I did not want to hear, I realized that there is more to learn! So here I am today, in the doorway and looking forward to what I will experience!
