 I'm on a two-fold mission...

I believe that we must be both physically and spiritually sound if we want to be healthy and two life-altering events in my own life lead me to this conclusion.

My Mom, a medical and scientific illustrator for the CDC in Atlanta, was killed by proper use of prescription drugs.  Since I was a journalism major in college and always enjoyed research, I put my education to use and started to study the health-care industry -- and I was appalled at what I learned. This put me on the path to physical health.

However, I also suffered from depression, off and on, for most of my life.  It was only after I met a college professor, who triggered past-life memories, that I received the counseling I needed to get well. That counseling opened a new world to me and I realized that there are many people suffering the way I did because they also lacked the knowledge that only comes to us when we are realize that we are eternal and that our lives are about spiritual lessons.  This put me on the path to reincarnation coaching.

Because I am passionate about both physical and spiritual health, I took formal classes on coaching, researched and wrote books, and was mentored by psychologists, medical doctors, and a Ph.D. in pharmacology.

I was the Director of Publications for two nutritional products companies, where my love of writing and my passion for health education was put to good use.  I wrote and oversaw the production of newsletters, broadcast newspapers, magazines, sales flyers, marketing materials, brochures, and training manuals, and lectured on health and wellness throughout the USA.

In 1998, I broke my neck while working as a contractor for Turner Broadcasting, where I was writing quality control manuals in the accounting department (I also have an associate degree in accounting). Since I was no longer able to work (actually, Turner fired me because I was "disabled" - I know you won't believe that, but I have the letter to prove it), I decided to freelance.  During my three years in rehabilitation, I wrote two contract books.

Robert A. Nash, MD, of Virginia Beach, hired me to write his book Common Sense Medicine - a medical doctor's prescription for health care in America.

MGM was making a motion picture, At First Sight, starring Val Kilmer, which was adapted from the true story of Shirl & Barb Jennings, of Atlanta.  So, Barb & Shirl hired me to write the REAL story, At First Sight - the Shirl Jennings story.
