We are stepping into The Intuition Age. We need to know how that will change us, and everything we do—for the better. This huge shift in our core perception and how it facilitates enlightenment is what fascinates me.
I am clairvoyant and empathic, yet I was not born psychic—I was born curious. I follow my nose, dive in, integrate an experience, and synthesize it with what I already know—and magically, everything changes! I first trained as a designer (interior and graphic), and became a corporate art and advertising director. That was great preparation for bringing intuitive vision into grounded, useful form. Yet I hungered for immersion into the deep mysteries of life.
A move to California in my twenties was the catalyst for that immersion—into intuition and metaphysics—looking for universal truths. That search gradually encompassed the dynamics of personal and societal transformation. I sensed that what happens at the individual level also occurs in relationships, groups, and organizations, and I wanted to know how heightened consciousness would transform everything we take for granted as our reality.
My penchant for synthesizing knowledge has given me: deep psychological understanding that incorporates spiritual dynamics, practical business ability, a common sense approach with sophisticated insight, and the ability to translate complex ideas in an easy-to-understand way. I can quickly synthesize many details, and I am generally accurate.
Mentoring
I like to cut through to the heart of what’s most important, to bring light to the subtle and hidden things we often overlook. I see the high, long view and the right-now-next-task view. I’ve traveled widely and have broad cross-cultural experience.
I’ve worked as an advisor to business executives, scientists, psychologists, celebrities, artists, other consultants and trainers, and those on a spiritual path. I have counseled many thousands worldwide about life and business direction, and the fulfillment of destiny.
I enjoy working intimately with people, finding their core brilliance, motivation, gifts, and natural path forward. I am always amazed by people’s originality and beauty, and how truly interconnected and mutually supportive we all are. I routinely experience how clients activate parts of me as I activate parts of them. My Mentoring and How to pages will fill you in on all the details.
Training & Speaking
I teach and speak to groups about developing heightened attention and clarity, and how personal and societal transformation actually work. It’s important to me that we learn to apply direct knowing and new spherical-holographic perception to how we live and what we create—to increase effectiveness, deep success, and enthusiasm for life. I’ve presented at colleges and conferences internationally, and appeared on radio, internet, and television interview shows internationally. I’ve also been a TV talkshow host. I am available to speak to, train, or teach your group. • I am also available as a knowledgeable guest for interviews and podcasts.
Collaborating with Consciousness Leaders
I’ve worked with consciousness-oriented organizations like the Institute of Noetic Sciences, the Center for Applied Intuition, The Institute for the Study of Conscious Evolution, The Intuition Network, Integral Transformative Practice International, Greenheart International, The Mind Center, Milagro World Center, and The Frequency Group. I’ve been on the faculty of The Kaiser Institute’s Intuition Fellowship program, and have worked with Knowledge Harvesting/interconnecting.com and The Arlington Institute (futurists). On a more exotic note, I have teamed with shamans, given sermons at Unity churches, and led spiritual tours to Peru, Egypt, Mt. Fuji, and the American Southwest.
Writing & Publishing
I was one of the early pioneers in the intuition development movement—back when intuition was considered way too “woo-woo.” Since then my topics revolve around the power of skillful perception and making transformation easier. The content of my writing comes from me living and breathing the insights and lessons, and from the wisdom that emerges spontaneously when I counsel and teach. My books I are often the first big books on a topic and become relied-upon guides and reference books—people tell me they keep them next to their bed or have read them two or three times. And sometimes, I’m a bit ahead of the curve. . .
Whether it’s intuition development, understanding dreams and visions, managing our energy, connecting the imaginal realm with physical results, shifting out of old thinking patterns, or helping us have the courage to become transparent, I am dedicated to making the earthy stuff sacred and inspirational. My Books & Writing page will give you access to many of my insights.

Background & Training
In my early career as a designer, I became proficient in commercial interior design, lighting design, graphic design, as well as copywriting, tech writing, editing, advertising, photography, and promotion. After I opened up spiritually, I was business manager for, and co-presenter with, trance medium Kevin Ryerson, who gained popularity through his connection with actress Shirley MacLaine.
My schooling was completed at the University of Cincinnati School of Design, Architecture, and Art in interior architecture; The New School and Columbia University in New York City in lighting design, psychology, and graphology; and at Disney’s California Institute of the Arts near Los Angeles in an experimental program called social design—an early foray into what is now known as “design thinking.”
Since then, I’ve studied continuously in the areas of psychology, East-West philosophy, world religions, expanded perception, meditation, personality typing, astrology and numerology, and personal growth, both from books and gifted individuals. I have a special interest in how metaphysical truths apply to worldly things, like business, government, and what makes for true success. I love photography and writing poetry that describes subtle stages of spiritual growth and spiritual insights. After years in New York, Los Angeles, and Marin County, California, I now live in Florida.

I’ve also worked with recruiters and identity/branding companies.

I’ve worked with teenage runaways, 5-year-old children who see angels, the terminally ill, professional gamblers, and a prisoner from San Quentin.

I’ve presented at meetings and conferences in Europe, Japan, South Africa, South America, and Canada.
Philosophy
I feel that life functions according to innate natural principles, and when we live in alignment with these truths, things work smoothly and effectively. We are made of various frequencies of energy and are unlimited, radiant, love-based, universal beings. Limitation is not natural to us, yet we have become resigned to it and simultaneously resistant to it. In spite of fear, love and truth are the supreme healing forces.
I see intuition, compassion, communion, and energy or frequency skills as keys to spiritual growth. If we clear the clutter of fear-based thinking—what causes our reality to seem opaque—we will simply function as the soul, which has always been present in its fullness but has been blocked by contracted perception and low-vibrational emotion. The soul doesn’t need to evolve—our mind does! The higher in frequency we become, the more we know ourselves as both an individual and a collective self.
Open, trusted intuition reveals the new reality of The Intuition Age. Life is shifting to become soul-based, not ego-based. As this happens, the rules of the way things occur and function change. Our perception is transforming dramatically now, and our understanding of time and space is transforming as well.
I am committed to compassionate honesty—a Code of Transparency, if you will. As much as I see through others, I allow others to see into me. I take spirituality personally and aim to embody the soul and universal principles in whatever I do. And actually, life is so much easier that way!
This is an exciting time to be alive!
I’d love to work with you!
Let’s make healing & transformation easy, natural & accelerated!
