Changing the world one person at a time.
About me
Around thirty years ago, I found myself in jail after being charged with ‘possession of a controlled dangerous substance.’ That experience served as a wake-up call, motivating me to aim for more out of life. It set me on a lifelong journey of personal growth and healing. My deep gratitude for the second chances I’ve received has inspired me to help others. I’ve been fortunate to do so as a presenter, speaker, author, and now, as a professional hypnotherapist.
A life of personal growth
I began my journey in 12-step programs and then continued to explore various mental, physical, and emotional wellness modalities. This includes time spent in formal Buddhism (Trúc Lâm), attending (both as a student and trainer) and literally hundreds of weekend events, dozens of corporate training seminars, a number of weekend meditation retreats, as well as so much more!
Certified Hypnotherapist
Completed MMHA Certification, Architects of Hypnosis intensive, and many other classes and workshops, as well as ongoing licensing and skill development.
Professional Achievements
I am the author of multiple books and have received numerous awards for my teaching and presentations.
