In the early eighties she was exposed to the Health Realization/Resiliency model, now called Three Principles Understanding as it was introduced to the United States from Canada. She witnessed dramatic results with her clients and set off to complete an internship with author and pyschologist Joseph Bailey.

As these dramatic results were witnessed with difficult populations, she was asked to create a training center where organizations of all kinds could contract services to support their staff and foster expansion from within. She continues to stays committed to this work.
