Trusting Your Own Natural Knowing
It is our birthright to be intuitive. Trusting ourselves is the key to our own freedom.
It is my belief we all have intuitive psychic gifts. Somewhere along the line we were told not to use them. It became more important what other people thought about us, instead of what we thought and felt. Our value was dependent on others viewpoints. I am hoping we turn that concept around. Learning to trust ourselves, what we sense and how we feel.
Tina lectures on intuition and holds private sessions with clients at the world renowned Miraval Resort in Arizona. Her clientele is a veritable "who's who" of people from all walks of life - from business leaders to celebrities that span the globe. Her warmth, infectious laugh and incredible ability to help people connect with a higher vibration enables them to lead happier and more inspired lives.

Surrender: The Strength in Letting Go
In a world that glorifies control, hustle, and certainty, surrender can feel like weakness. But what if true strength is found not in holding on, but in letting go? In this session, we’ll explore the power and peace that come from releasing our grip—on expectations, timelines, and outcomes—and trusting in something greater. Surrender isn’t giving up; it’s giving over—and that shift can change everything.

Are you fully living your JOY?
Alphabets reflect the times they emerged from and continue to evolve. Your handwriting reflects this cultural context, and your upbringing with its early programming, your life’s experiences and your reaction to them...how you ‘see’ life, from both conscious and unconscious perspectives. The old Palmer method many of us learned reinforces the predominant “tradition is king” mentality of the late 1800’s: “Do as you are told;” “This is the way it has always been done,” with an over emphasis on logical thinking at the expense of creativity.
Is this fully living your JOY? Let us explore how to optimize your intuitive knowing, make wiser decisions, disconnect from childhood wounding, enhance your self-esteem and creativity, etc. Every pen stroke reinforces shifts in neural brain patterning so by intentionally designing your letters, their size and spacing, you can support a new, conscious agenda. This technology puts you in charge of what you want to shift and how quickly it can happen.
The most important letter to focus on is the first initial of your first name; it is a declaration of what you came here to learn. Time permitting, I will present the intrinsic meaning of each letter.
I will be sharing the work of Vimala Rodgers, my mentor for over 25 years. As we humans tend to resist change, watch for resistance...this can be your biggest breakthrough. Ask yourself, “Does my life work for me as powerfully as I would like?!”

My Intuition Saved My Life
At 17, I suddenly lost my ability to speak. My hands stopped working. My eyes wouldn’t close. Doctor after doctor told me nothing was wrong.
But I knew they were wrong.
Something deep inside me kept saying: Keep going. Don’t stop. So I did. I trusted my intuition — and what happened next changed everything.
Now, I’m here with UCSB Biology graduate Kayla to share what no one talks about: women’s health, clinical research, and the fight to be heard.
If you’ve ever been dismissed, doubted, or told “it’s all in your head” — this talk is for you.
Because you’re not broken.
You’re becoming.

The Legacy of Love and Purpose Teachings
Over 60 years ago I mysteriously manifested my first Soulmate at the age of 16. Following that I seriously ‘lived in the question’ for 20 years….How did that happen? Then I found myself in the dark night of the Soul, which prompted a life-altering breakthrough experience, out of which I ‘saw’ in detail how the Universe works and magical things like that can happen. My Life Purpose was revealed to me and manifested into a tangible reality:
‘The Legacy of Love and Purpose Teachings’.
Having answered my ‘Calling’, I created a ‘Body of Work’, from ancient Universal Principles and leading edge Transformational Coaching and Healing Technologies, to help others discover their Authentic voice, claim their birthright of living their inspired Soul's Purpose, and learn how to manifest deep,
abiding Love that promises to last a lifetime.
In all these years, while working with thousands of clients ….I’ve witnessed many secretly wondering:
“Is something wrong with me?” Could there be an answer to our internal dilemma of feeling like this?
It seems to be: The Best Kept Secret.
What if?????
Nothing is Broken
Nothing is Missing
“They” can’t take it away from us.
You can’t lose it
Oh My God! What if the answer is in a place you haven’t looked?
There is a lot of talk that we need to learn to love ourselves. Great idea. Have you ever tried that?
Did it work? Did it last?
Come with me, take my hand, let’s go on a Journey Together to ‘The Secret Place’.
