When I retired from the United States Air Force, I wanted to use my natural intuitive abilities to help others in a more formalized way. I have always been told that I'm a good listener and give great advice.

We discuss values, desires, how to effectively communicate and much more. This paves the way for their inner wisdom to advise them on what is best, and they have the confidence to act for positive changes in their life.
