It is with great excitement and joy in my heart that I send these greetings to you!!

 

Many of you reading this email today have undergone what I would consider awesome if not miraculous changes in your life this past year. I have watched as you summoned the courage from deep within your soul to look inside your heart, embrace your feelings honestly and openly, get very clear about your intentions for your life, take responsibility for the consequences of your every thought, feeling, and action, as you became the creator of your life vs. the victim of its circumstances. It is with profound gratitude that I tell you I am both humbled and honored to have had the privilege to be witness to your process.

 

I have included a podcast of affirmations I recorded to help you focusing on living a life full of joy and peace and love.  Just click on the link below or copy and paste it into your address bar and click on the play button to hear it!

Women's Support Group

 

My intention for creating such a group is to provide a safe and caring environment for women to support one another in owning their power and living their highest good. Participants will be guided in their quest to understand and change core behaviors and belief systems that no longer serve their highest good. To that end we will be seriously focused on understanding the profound consequences of your every thought, feeling, and action and learn to question its value in supporting your life's purpose/intention. You will be encouraged to listen to, honor, and trust your "inner knowing" and begin to see yourself through more kind and compassionate eyes.

 

 Dates: (2009) 1/13, 1/27, 2/10, 2/24, 3/10, 3/24

Time: 7:00 -8:15 p.m.

Fee: $185.00

Place: 132 East Kings Highway, Suite 105, Haddonfield, N.J. 08033

WLS Therapy Group For Women  

 

Open to female weight loss surgery patients who are at least 10 months post op. For those of you not familiar with group therapy, it is far less social than a support group. We will be seriously focused on personal changes members want to make. Participants will be working together to accomplish their goals and attendance at every meeting is important, not casual. Recovery is hard work and an important part of the process involves prioritizing self-care. This is especially important for bariatric surgery post-ops because so many have spent a lifetime putting themselves and their own health needs last. Long term recovery requires changing that. You and your recovery from morbid obesity must be a top priority. This becomes even more urgent in the second and third year after surgery when the novelty has worn off. If you find yourself frequently falling into compulsive old patterns, this group can be an excellent resource for challenging those behaviors and avoiding full blown relapse.

 

Dates: 12/9/08, 12/23/08, 1/6/09, 1/20/09, 2/3/09, 2/17/09

Time: 7:00 – 8:15pm

Place: 132 East Kings Highway, Suite 105, Haddonfield, N.J. 08033
