With transformation as the emphasis of my work, I have designed a number of successful personal and professional programs that assist clients and organizations in transition. I provide consultative expertise to various types of businesses needing to develop their professional practices. I have worked as a Business Mentor Coach for iPEC, (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) where I have trained and mentored newly certified coaches and guided them to utilizing effective start-up business-building techniques. My newest business venture is Rose PR Consulting. I help small business owners, entrepreneurs, private practitioners to build their businesses, obtain clients and customers and increase their referral resources.

Some of the courses that I have designed and executed are: Awaken the Goddess Within, Loving the Life You Live!, Excuse Me - Your Life Is Waiting, Reinvent Your Life from the Inside Out, Passionate Presence, Love Yourself! The Law of Attraction, Awaken Your Potential, Live the Life of Your Dreams , The New You - Look & Feel Fabulous! and this Fall, 2009: Love ~ Being A Woman! For my peers in coaching and counseling, like the NJ Counseling Association, I developed and conducted train-the-trainer motivational lectures. In my role as an educator, I have had the distinction of being an Adjunct Professor of psychology and counseling for three universities: William Paterson, Bloomfield College and Berkeley College in NJ.

In 2005, I founded the Wellness Networking Group. This organization is a community of healing industry professionals who serve humanity through their professional work. I conceived of the idea to promote a spirit of cooperation vs. competition in the health and wellness industry as a way of uniting professionals around a cooperative, supportive community dynamic. I passionately enjoy the process of hiring speakers, co-creating workshops and organizing meetings. Every Wednesday night, I host a workshop series called Living, Loving & Learning. The Wellness Networking Group has provided a win-win environment for members, speakers and attendees to cross-promote their businesses, share resources, provide referrals and uplift the professional community in an inspirational way.

I incorporate my career as a psychotherapist with empowerment coaching to truly make a difference in my client's lives. I have created a variety of groups, workshops, networking meetings, tele-seminars, retreats and other programs that guide individuals and professional groups with increasing their success potential through counseling and coaching. I support my clients to connect with their higher self to achieve their set-forth goals. Using alternative methods such as: biblio-therapy, journal writing, guided imagery, meditation, art, sacred ritual, nutrition, herbs, exercise and energy healing ~ I draw upon the wisdom of all my professional disciplines. I believe my greatest strength is my fresh approach to solutions that combines traditional methodology with insight, intuition and innovation. I try to help my clients in a caring, holistic way ~ sometimes collaborating with other healing practitioners and using complimentary modalities, such as, yoga, meditation, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic services, acupuncture and massage.

I especially enjoy creating sacred spaces for women to explore their spirituality, health, body image, self-esteem, finances, relationships and their creativity.

My goal for you is to become peacefully happy from within - to realize your unlimited potential, to increase your ability to function harmoniously in the world, to improve the quality of all your relationships, and to do what YOU want to do when you tune into your innermost sense of self and purpose. My philosophy is that

every obstacle is an opportunity to grow and learn. There are simply no mistakes in life. Together , we work to help you: discover your life path, find greater meaning and purpose, live pro-actively, based on choices you make consciously rather than reactively, and gain greater understanding of yourself in relation to the world

and your place in it. Techniques are co-created and evolve from your needs, strengths and interests.

Utilizing the most effective aspects of counseling, coaching, consulting, and mentoring, I form a powerful alliance with clients to help them focus on what they want in their personal and professional lives. I believe every individual has the answers within and it is my task to help them access their wisdom through a variety of

empowering techniques. My style is gentle, empathic, and motivating. Many clients report feeling inspired after sessions. I establish a professional, supportive relationship which a client can be himself/herself, say what s/he feels, fantasizes, fears, aspires to.

I guide clients to find their own inner resources and passions in order to achieve maximum potential. Together, we examine self-defeating thoughts, transcend self-destructive behaviors, learn new ways to manage disruptive feelings and work on discovering joy & intimacy in life. Most importantly, I coach and counsel clients to better self-awareness, personal fulfillment, and self-worth. Ultimately, our work

together will help you love who you are and the life you are living. You will feel free and happy you are alive."

I believe everyone has the power to create the life of their dreams. I believe the power of love overrules everything. It resides within all of us. The more we connect to this love, the more balanced and powerful we will be and, subsequently, the more abundant our lives will be. I believe, "Anything is Possible!"
