Dr. E has changed my life. I have gained so much insight and confidence in what she teaches. She will see through you and help you do the same. If you are ready (and you need to be ready) to move to the next level of your human experience, I highly recommend spending time with her.
Hal Piwonka, PharmD, Desert Regional Medical Center
At the time, I had so many new adventures and positive experiences since the conferral of my doctoral degree. It was a bit overwhelming, and I needed a listening ear to help me sort and process where I wanted to go next in my life. You provided valuable new perspectives on my current situation. In other words, “seeing the forest for the trees.” It was amazing, but just in a span of several sessions I was able to view my situation from a completely new angle.
