As a Registered Nurse I have enjoyed a career that is rich in experiences from clinical nursing in critical care settings and in the air (flight nursing), to the rigors of management at both the mid-level and executive heights.
Education has been equally important in creating a solid foundation and a Bachelors in Nursing, a Masters in Management/Organizational Behavior and a Doctorate in Business Psychology are also part of my background. For almost two decades I wove all of this together for a very successful consulting practice traveling the country, presenting workshops, providing on-site support to hospitals large and small, emphasizing the power of sustainable relationships among the workforce.
I am an international speaker and award winning author of numerous books on nursing, leadership and critical thinking. Somewhere in there, I have also managed to create a blended family of five kids, seven grandkids and two lovable golden retrievers.
And now my emphasis is on energy, specifically the healing kind of energy that we can all access to reduce stress, calm the migraine, relieve anxiety and minimize any type of pain while helping our bodies to do what is necessary to gain physical health. As a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner/Instructor, a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist and a Registered Nurse I maintain a private practice called Intuitive Options here in the Treasure Valley of Idaho.
