I am a graduate of the Ohashi Institute in NYC and the Baltimore Mediation Center, trained in the Japanese healing art of Ohashiatsu, and the communication theories of Transformative Mediation. I am a certified Entrepreneur. My corporate background includes Human Resources Outsourcing, Sales Management, Life & Health Insurance, and Business Management. I have held licenses in both Life & Health Insurance and Family Day Care, as well as certifications in several areas of Human Resources. I am an inspiring and energetic Dale Carnegie trained speaker, and I have worked as one of their Graduate Assistants. For over 15 years, I have worked as an independent stress management/business consultant. I am also the mother of three and grandmother of four. I have brought together this diverse skill set under the Stress Management Services umbrella.
I provide LifeSkills workshops for a diverse collection of clients,
ranging from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab to the Adult Girl
Scout Leaders of Central Maryland. I work with private clients ranging
from music legends and business owners to individual chronic
pain/anxiety sufferers.
In the early 1990s my focus was on educating caregivers on how to thrive in high stress environments. My focus expanded to include educating entrepreneurs, employees, and employers in ways to benefit from the energy created in fast-paced / high-pressure work environments. In 2001, my focus broadened again to include any area where challenged communications can benefit from a shift in perspective.
As our country experiences another round of uncertain times, I am keenly aware of the need for ongoing education and training in ways to stay connected and thrive during times of change. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with those who are seeking something other than “the way it has always been done".
