The marketing day in the ICT Intensive was phenomenal. I blasted through fears, barriers, and resistances. Since my training six months ago I’ve continued to amaze myself daily in the building of my business. I can’t thank Kay enough for making it really easy.

~ Carolyn JenningsAuthor, Hunger Speaks: A Memoir in Poetry

Kay Adams offers unwavering passion and commitment to her work and those she serves. As a teacher, she is thorough and clear. As a facilitator, she exudes confi dence as she encourages others to fi nd theirs. I recommend her work to anyone who wishes to learn, grow, and expand their horizons.

~ Sue Rueling Furness, LMFT, PTR, Boise, ID

Kay’s vibrant energy and heart-centered approach are her greatest gifts. Her training has given me many years of inspiration… teaching journal writing.

~ Anne L. Day, MA, RNOwner, Anne L. Day & Associates

I took the Instructor Certifi cation Training home-study course in 1995, and I’ve been using the work ever since. I lead about 20 workshops or writing groups a year, based on this method. It provided the formal structure I needed to teach my own journal workshops, along with the marketing strategies that insured my success. It is a rigorous, well-designed, deeply personal learning experience.

~ Susan deWardt, MA, CAPF, CJFPresident, Mindworks Coaching

The Intensive was the best fi rst step for me. I left with everything I needed. I had a week’s access to Kay to ask her all my questions. She’s a great teacher and a wonderful role model for group facilitation.

~ Janine VanderWhitte, LMHCPsychotherapist

As a teacher, Kay embodies the archetype of the Wise Woman Sage. She calls each of us to deeply refl ect and discover who we are as part of the collective consciousness.
