Over the Years  

The tone for my unwavering mindfulnss training began in athletics. Earning a football scholarship and captaining the wrestling team at the University of Connecticut, one of my early mentors was my HoF football coach Lou Holtz. He demonstrated fierce authenticity all of the time, not just on the field of athletics.

My services started as a Community Counselor with inner city, adolescent, second offenders in the legal system. This was an initiation with no safety net in dealing with challenging situations that were screaming for resolutions. Already emerging were the ways heart consciousness was a necessary factor for containing pressing issues so progress could develop toward resolutions.

I then served as a Psychotherapist, LCSW, for 2 decades, both in private practice and clinical settings.  I had realized the need for developing the additional skills for making a greater difference in helping clients with their seeming out of control situations.

During the last 2 decades my services have progressed from Corporate Executive Coaching to serving as a Trusted Advisor with Community and Business Leaders. Over time, I had felt constrained by the useful but limited models of psychotherapy. So I incorporated additional perspectives and tool-sets for providing a more interactive service enabling me in working more directly with people.

The ongoing theme of my services is to help people wake up, show up and live their highness vision. This territory has required my ongoing skill development in mindfulness so I can help clients develop their ability to face and progress through ANY situation.

I've a lifetime of relationships with Awareness Pioneers, including working on a clinical team for 2 years with David R. Hawkins, MD, PHD, author of Power vs Force, and a decade of study with Charlotte Selver, the originator of Sensory Awareness Practice, as well as contributing to several mindfulness projects with Gay Hendricks, PhD, author of The Corporate Mystic.

What helped me further integrate these experiences has been 2 decades of living near, and working closely with, the Indigenous people of the USA and Brazil. By living close to nature, I experienced ways to sense and develop my heart-consciousness, while living it during my day to day.

I’ve published 2 books as a way of developing research and sharing insights - Unwavering Heart: 5 Keys to Living with Fierce Authenticity 2014, and Unwavering Heart: 5 Keys to Living Your Destiny 2017. My next book is being drafted through my articles and blogs, Unwavering Heart: (subtitle to be determined) 2024.

My history of service chronicles empowering countless clients, both individually and in groups, to fully show up in facing and dealing with their situation(s).
