PARADIGM SHIFTER: In communities connecting with women & men. Evoking insight. Connecting insights to business. Author. Professor. Therapist (M.F.T trainee). Closet Baker

COMING SOON - In Los Angeles
Paradigm Shifter (plural par·a·digm):
A paradigm is our perception of reality, our view of the world. It is our interpretation of events based on previous teaching we have received.  To shift means to put (something) aside and replace it by another or others; change or exchange: to shift ideas.

What do I do as a Paradigm Shifter?
Do you have someone who really just listens to you?  Someone who’s there JUST for you.  Who GETS you.  Who FEELS what your words can’t describe?  Who spotlights a solution to a problem and - in a subtle but powerful moment - you see the world differently?  That’s what I do as a Paradigm Shifter.  Then I build communities, inspire fellowship and evoke insight and connect these insights to businesses for their social public relations and marketing communications outreach.

Working intimately with men, women, couples, groups (from 6-30 people) and businesses, I mine for insight, connect, empower and facilitate change and growth - focusing primarily on mind and body health and wellness, relationships, work, finances and kids.  Founded on my education in Psychology (M.F.T. trainee), experience as a therapist and 13 years as a public relations executive in corporate America and author, I explore the inner truths - of men and women - and I serve as their voice to each other and businesses.  We connect, we laugh, we fight fear and harness anger and hurt and triumph for a more fulfilling, happy life.  Simply put: You tell your story. I listen without judgement. We connect and achieve a shift. 

INDIVIDUALS & COUPLES:
What’s your truth?  Do you know it?  Can you feel it? Are you avoiding it? 

My style?
I’m empathic, but direct.  You come “willing,” I come with loving honesty, genuineness and skilled technique. You have the answers, I help you see them...and in a new way.

How long does it take to create a “shift?”
That’s like asking how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.  It depends on you!  Individual therapy can be as few as 4 one-hour sessions to evoke insight and problem-solve or months to affect, replenish or infuse the behavioral, emotional or cognitive truths.  Like working out with a personal trainer, once you feel good about where you are, occasional “check-ins” should suffice, or you come as life asks you to.

BUSINESS INSIGHT
Community Engagement groups offers insight for your social PR/Marketing outreach campaigns.  Making Global, Local .  Making Online In-Person.  In today’s technological world, human connection is becoming more important and puts you above your competition.  My service is to connect with your core target demographics as a service to them.  In turn, you develop brand loyalty and an informal focus group at your finger tips.

MINDFULNESS GROUPS:
All-Male, All-Female, and Male-to-Woman groups foster community fellowship and build a stronger connection to yourself and with others.  They inspire and evoke change within yourself and others.

Mindfulness-By-Invitation Groups:
With me as your group’s guide, you dare to gain from each other a fresh understanding and skill to approaching life and a to-go box of unrealized personal depth and awareness to gift to your relationships in your individual lives.  You are not required to talk to participate in Mindfulness Group. It is encouraged.  But your undivided attention and presence is essential.

Mindfulness Drop-In Groups:
These spirited workshops serve to introduce you to the Mindfulness Group Movement.  Participants may be fluid from week-to-week but insight and connectivity is still at the core, as is trust, honesty and respect for each other.  Topics and techniques are birthed weekly.

Both groups - Mindfulness Drop-In and Mindfulness-By-Invitation, last an hour and 15 minutes and meet weekly.  Various specialty groups are currently forming.  Ask about an area you are particularly interested in. 

Weekend workshops coming soon.
