Welcome!

Here's the truth: all you need for a successful life full of purpose and joy is already within you. You were born with every asset required for great relationships, an effective and productive work life, and spiritual completion.

And, yet, you may have troubled or broken relationships, be bored and unproductive, and feel empty and unconnected to the miracle of life. Maybe those essential assets haven't yet received the nurture they require to illuminate the path to the life you want. You were born perfect, but your perfection may be lost beneath a scrap heap of life experiences.

Virtually all the dissatisfactions that plague our adult relationships result from patterns that grew in early childhood. And they can be remade by unearthing wisdom from your childhood: 7 Childhood Treasures® that lie within you, buried and undeveloped. I help you to find the rough ores within, locate and reveal their subtle facets, and polish them to brilliant, blazing gemstones. Your birthright—a treasure chest of assets—waits for you, along with a successful life full of purpose and joy.
The raw materials you needed were present at birth. Each raw ore became available in its own time as you matured. But unless your interactions with others provided the right tools, you could not polish these raw materials into precious gems.

If daily life brought you the right individuals and they gave you the right tools, then you cut and polished these rough rocks into sparkling jewels for the treasure chest that is your Self. In that hoard of developmental wealth should shine your capacity to trust, your sense of wonder, your ability to negotiate for what you want, your belief in your dreams....

As you assembled the treasure of your identity, you should have been able to gather these gems, the capacities for:

• Trust
• Independence
• Faith
• Negotiation
• Vision
• Compromise
• Acceptance

These are the 7 Childhood Treasures®. Your first seven years of life could and should have supported you in gathering these capacities, which make effective adult living possible. As the miner, cutter and polisher of these gems, you also supplied the raw materials. But you needed others to hand you sturdy tools; you needed a team of helpers. With the right support, you could have amassed for your identity these 7 Childhood Treasures®.

Maybe your stockpiling of Self went well. Probably not. That statement is not a judgment of you, your parents or the people who taught you in school. It's just a fact of life for most of us. Here's the shocking news: most of us did not receive all the tools we needed to amass the treasures of a healthy identity. Even though reared and educated by good parents and teachers, you may still face big or small challenges in your life, have upsets in your relationships, or feel less than excited about your purpose in the world.
And here is some good news: if you didn't get the tools you needed to mine and polish these gems in childhood, it is never too late. You can start today.
