Holistic Guidebook for Co-Creating Health, Happiness, Peace, and Prosperity
Introduction
Since 1985 I’ve been a Holistic Health and Nutrition Counselor and have counseled thou-
sands of clients with a wide variety of health issues. The decade of the 80’s brought mostly
clients with cancer and other serious degenerative diseases. Holistic was not popular then
and many of those who sought my help viewed my holistic work as a last resort. Most had
exhausted all of their medical options. People were searching for a diet to cure their ills.
I observed common threads among those suffering with disease. Everyone was stressed
and lacking effective tools for understanding and resolving their problems. Many had
significant unresolved emotional issues. Still others had no balance in their lives; dysfunc-
tional relationships; and financial and work related challenges. People’s lives were and still
are greatly contributing to poor health. In those early years of my practice clients were
not interested in the big picture of holistic health. The demand was for nutritional therapy.
I deeply reflected on how I could make the healing journey easier for clients and recog-
nized the need to counsel them on creating healthier lives. This led me to the Institute for
Attitudinal Healing in 1988 where I became certified in Spiritual Psychotherapy which par-
allels the wisdom of 5,000 year old Traditional Healing Arts, the source of my professional
training. Both work with complete systems rather than dissection into parts. Your mind,
emotions, body, and spirit are a single system, each influencing the other, and impacting
relationships, environment, life’s work, finances—everything.
Both begin with the premise that there is a spiritual essence that permeates everything. It
is a life force or energy that is the building material for all things in the universe, including
your life. Science thinks of it as an electric or magnetic force and has discovered ways to
detect and measure it. Religious people think of it in terms of God.
We are supported and sustained by an underlying flow of life energy. When this flow is
impeded, you become weak or sick; your emotions become disharmonious; your relation-
ships, finances, work, and all areas of life suffer. When the flow of energy is strengthened
or cared for, you become stronger and healthier in every way. When the flow stops, your
body dies.

Spiritual Psychotherapy is not aligned with or dependent upon adopting any particular
religious belief. It is compatible with any view of the world that includes all of humanity
as equal in this world, and in the eyes of the Divine.
You are connected to a larger whole that is all-knowing, perfect, and unlimited. It is the
source of all of life and is not separate from you. It resides within you. Learning to access
this part of yourself; distinguish its voice from your personality; and act on its guidance;
are essential for ending struggle and suffering.
I began to integrate this modality in my practice and have been helping clients and stu-
dents understand the mental, emotional, and spiritual causes of and solutions for health
and lifestyle challenges for decades. Clients were thrilled to learn a Higher perspective
to their issues. The results were and continue to be phenomenal not only in terms of
health recovery, but also in resolving life issues and bringing greater peace and happi-
ness. I’ve witnessed many, many seemingly miraculous health recoveries and complete
transformation of life challenges. This is your every day potential.
Problems are an invitation to change
Your health and happiness are created by a variety of factors, internal and external.
Everything is feeding and creating your health and life. Every choice Matters - what
you choose to eat, think, feel, and believe is what you become at a deep level. Your en-
vironment; relationships; life’s work; and inner and outer communication are all feeding
and creating you as well as what you put in your mouth and mind. This is the basis for
true Holistic Healing.
Despite modern conveniences and technological, medical, and scientific advancements,
people are more stressed, tired, out of balance, sick, discontent, and dissatisfied than ever.
We’ve been looking in the wrong direction for solutions to growing mental, emotion-
al, and physical health problems, and life challenges including work, money, and rela-
tionships. Many are looking for the secret, that one thing that will end their struggles,
problems, and suffering. The path to transforming your health and life has never been
a secret. Many wise, masterful teachers have shared their holistic wisdom for centuries.
Most people take a superficial approach. Instead of looking at the level of cause holisti-
cally, they look for a magic pill – chemical or natural. This may temporary relieve symp-
toms, but does nothing to eliminate the cause. Borrowing money, changing jobs, and
leaving relationships can be superficial approaches too if the inner root of the problem
is not identified and transformed. Often the same problems return or new ones develop.
All problems start with a misunderstanding of your spiritual nature, and then filter to
mind, emotions, body, and life—in that order. Understanding how this relates to your per-
sonal challenges will move you to the next level of your happiness far quicker. Spiritually
you are unlimited and can co-create anything in your life. This does not mean aligning
with any particular religion, doctrine or guru.

Your body and life are urging you to change—and that may mean changing your food
choices; outdated thoughts, attitudes and beliefs that are limiting your potential; your
fast-paced, out-of-balance life; the way you perceive, respond, or react to your life’s
experiences; or many other choices that are making you tired, sick and unhappy. Doing
so will align you with a greater spiritual knowledge that has always been a part of you.
If healthier choices are not made, problems will speak more loudly to you. Until harmful
conscious and unconscious habits and ways of being are eradicated, your efforts to en-
joy healthy, passionate, joyful, and abundant living will have little impact. Each moment
is an opportunity for a new choice.
Nothing happens without the opportunity for positive benefit to you, even though it
may not be apparent. Every challenge, including health, weight, money, relationships,
and life’s work, contains wonderful gifts within them. They have a Higher purpose.
Discovering the gifts will propel you forward and dissolve barriers to your success.
Problems are a catalyst nudging you to integrate your spiritual essence with mind and
emotion to consciously co-create what you do want. Doing so will help you understand
the Higher purpose of your personal problems, and evolve you into a happier, healthier,
more joyful version of yourself. You are in the driver’s seat and have power and choice.
By using the processes in this program stress will dissolve; life will flow smoothly; health
issues will resolve without new ones returning; and you’ll move through life with a sense
of calm, trust, and joy.
Origins of Life and Health by Design
This program evolved as a natural outflow of deeply listening beyond the words to my stu-
dents and clients for decades. Why do some heal themselves and their lives while others
don’t? Their views of life, attitudes, struggles, emotional states, and response or reaction
to stress have been very revealing. The material was developed in response to the personal
issues and questions from my students and clients.
Their questions have stimulated a deeper knowledge and wisdom within me that was first
sparked more than thirty years ago when I began professional training in Holistic Healing
Arts.
Fifteen years ago I developed my Practical Spirituality Program which later morphed into
Creating a Life You Love. As I have grown and evolved so has the material. With many
revisions and updates, the program is now Life and Health by Design.
My Vision for Life and Health by Design is to take you from crisis management to co-cre-
ating an extraordinary life that flows. Your potential for greater happiness, abundance,
passion, joy, and fulfillment is huge. You are not at the mercy of uncontrollable forces as
some would like to believe. You have the ability to change your reality.
This life-changing, transformational Holistic Program provides a solid foundation and
personal blueprint for co-creating good health, success, happiness, and freedom. You’ll
™

learn skills and tools to end struggle, procrastination, sabotage, poor health, and lack.
This Program will help you stop fighting against yourself and evolve your life to higher
levels by learning and implementing co-creation skills. In part, this is an unlearning pro-
cess of the many false truths that are guiding the lives of most people.
You’ll have a formula and tools for understanding and transforming your world and the
challenges you are living. Following this blueprint and applying the concepts will give
you consistent results in your health and happiness.
You’ll understand your life’s journey; why you have challenges and their positive pur-
pose. You’ll discover what you really want and what stops you from getting it; gain clarity
and create a focused plan; free yourself from self-doubt and damaging habits and life
patterns that have interfered with your greater good.
You’ll learn to recognize how you unknowingly may be creating obstacles that are pre-
venting your greater good and birthright of well being, abundance and joyful living.
You’ll understand how to stop trying so hard to make things happen and how to have
what you want come to you. A radiant, happy, abundant and healthy life is waiting for
you to claim it. It is within you, an inside job. Your personal power to re-invent your reality
is spiritual. It is vast and virtually untapped. You’ll learn to awaken it.
How to Work this Program
For best results, please work this program with an open mind and readiness to make your
health and happiness a priority. Be willing to honor yourself; make change; take action; and let
go of what is not working. Having a daily stillness or meditation practice will help immensely.
Life and Health by Design downloadable Course Manual contains ten modules with each
building on the previous one. The ten mp3 downloads are an important companion to each
module and contain additional information to support the Manual. It is recommended that
you spend a week on each module.
You can work them in a shorter or longer amount of time if that is your preference. However,
please spend at least five days on each one, and no more than ten days between modules.
You can always repeat the modules. In fact, it is recommended that you do so.
This work is likely to bring to the surface all within you that is resisting your greater good. This
may include unresolved issues from your past, personality characteristics that are limiting
you; thoughts and beliefs that are keeping you stuck; and unconscious fears. This is a good
thing. They are surfacing because they want to be resolved and transformed. The program
gives you the tools to do so.
You may feel that some sections do not resonate with or apply to you. Or you may not un-
derstand them. Stay with the process. Everything is relevant and important. Deeper under-
standing and clarity will come. Be open and present; avoid judging yourself and be loving
and compassionate instead; be committed to the process and to yourself.
This Program is a lifetime guide and resource and can be repeated many times.
