Known in the community as the "realistic recovery" expert, Lisa Neumann has been coaching addicts since 2007. She brings her love of science and her unalterable respect for God and his universal laws to her coaching practice. She is straightforward, swift, and amazingly gentle.

Child of both an alcoholic father and a codependent mother, Lisa Neumann struggled for decades deciphering who was really living in her body. A career, marriage, two kids, and the white picket fence didn't seem to solve the forever longing for completeness; neither did a bottle of wine each night. After an alarming drinking incident at the park with her one year old daughter she decided she'd had enough. In 2004, Lisa embarked on the task that would forever change the trajectory of her life. She decided to stop drinking. And so the story begins...

Today, Lisa Neumann is president and founder of Competency Coaching, a life and recovery coaching organization that seeks to help not only addicts, but those who love them. She is the founder of The Art of Sobriety Workshops. Workshops designed for both the addict and the codependent in the relationship. Lisa has helped hundreds of men and women regain their integrity and evolve into recovered and productive individuals living extraordinary lives.

Lisa is the author of Sober Identity: Tools for Reprogramming the Addictive Mind. She does a weekly radio program In Panama City, Florida which includes on-air coaching for addicts seeking help with the challenges of recovery and their personal evolution.

Lisa currently resides in Southern California with her family. She is a mom, recovered addict/alcoholic, an athlete (most of the time), a pseudo-cook (time and kid's appetite permitting), and most importantly a trusted friend.

Kirstin Carey - the original "Food Freak" - loves to enlighten people on the joys of food, health, and nutrition - and on healthful eating when you have food restrictions.

She is an entrepreneur with a passion for food, eating, and thoroughly enjoying herself.  Her fascination with how the brain and the body work was the catalyst to getting Kirstin on a path to learning everything she could on true nutrition and how food impacts the body, mind, and spirit.  Kirstin discovered she has allergies to wheat, dairy, and eggs - and found she also has Celiac's Disease.

This cheesesteak eating, native Philadelphian used to hide her veggies in her napkin and hated anything that came from the sea.  Now friends and family accuse her of being a "health foodie!"

With 15 years experience as a business owner, real estate investor, consultant, and professional speaker, Kirstin earned the prestigiousCertified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation held by only 10% of people in the International Federation of Professional Speakers, and served for three years as a Director on the Board for the National Speakers Association.

After some soul searching and some subtle (and not-so-subtle) encouragement from her friends, Kirstin decided to use her business experience, love of food, and frustration with living with food allergies...and open her own restaurant called Nourish in Scottsdale, AZ, which is dedicated to allergen-free eating so no one feels like a "Freak at the Table."

When she's not working with food, speaking to groups about food restrictions and health, or managing Nourish, you can usually find Kirstin walking, playing with, and training her dogs: Coal, Holly, and Roxy.

Learn more about Nourish restaurant and how you can eat nourishing food that tastes great by checking out the rest of this blog site.

You will find spectacular recipes - some which are served at Nourish, but every one of them have been served in Kirstin's home.  You will also come across blog postings about food facts, nutrition, and how food impacts your mood, health, mind, and body.

Oh, and be sure to check out NourishTV!  You'll learn great recipes and other fun things that you can use on your own.

Nina Helms spent most of her career after graduating from the American University in Washington D.C. in sales and business development across numerous industries.  She was in charge of West Coast sales and merchandising for Benneton Spa, negotiated contracts for online content use for The Associated Press, had a short stint as VP of Sales at a dot com,  and generated high profile accounts for Imagination - a global branding company.

Helms decided to retire from corporate America and pursued her love for yoga to become a yoga teacher.  Once certified, she relocated to Houston, Texas to teach yoga and start the DevineToys collection - storage solutions for style minded men, woman and couples.

Nina Helms, founder and President of DevineToys created the collection to answer her own pleasure-driven questions. How can I keep my pleasure items in plain sight in a safe, chic and stylish manner? In 2003, Helms designed and manufactured the DevineToys accessories collection including The Devine Toy Box, The Devine Carry-On, Condom Cube, French Envelope,  The Devine Satchel, and The DevinePlaychest to marketplace accolades.

New gratification questions inspired new products. Helms knows that "cleanliness is next to sexiness, so how do I safely and effectively clean my partner, my toys and me once the fun is done?" Being a yoga teacher Helms understood the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy. In 2006 she collaborated with a former Estee Lauder cosmetologist to create an anticeptic and anti-bacterial product that would simultaneously deliver traditional spa benefits. Afterglow Toy/Personal Tissues is currently hailed in the industry as one of the best toy/personal cleansers available. 

The success of AfterGlow spurred Helms to create a full body care system of products to support sexual health.  Over the next two years she formulated and designed 3 new products, AfterIT, AfterTrace and AfterShave that offer the same performance and quality as AfterGlow that is expected by loyal consumers.  Sexual Heath Enthusiasts' AfterCare skin science system works in harmony with our body's natural chemistry for correct holistic support of our sexual wellbeing. The high performance products are laboratory formulated with natural, organic and clinically tested ingredients, proven science and smart preservative systems.

As a child, Mr. Trivedi exhibited unique abilities and extraordinarily high levels of perception and intelligence, including a photographic memory. He says he always knew he was different and felt that his sojourn on this planet was for a higher purpose.

One night in 1995 he received "guidance" that the gifts he had been given were now to be used for the welfare of mankind. He didn't hesitate for a moment to give up all that was familiar and embark on a new mission - to use these gifts to benefit the world and its inhabitants.

Mr. Trivedi says that it is Universal Intelligence that works through him. He has compiled a remarkable track record of success, including well-documented scientific studies with researchers around the world on his ability to profoundly affect matter down to the level of the atom.

Even Mr. Trivedi's physiology is unique.  Research done on various aspects of his physiology has turned up some astonishing results such as variations in body temperature ranging between 95 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit with significant differences even between the palms of his hands and the tips of his fingers.

Mr. Trivedi's work within the international scientific community is extensive and ongoing.  This research constitutes an invaluable database for scientists attempting to understand the power of consciousness. Mr. Trivedi's mission, and that of Trivedi Master Wellness, is to utilize the Trivedi Effect^TM to usher in a new era that integrates scientific research and consciousness to vastly improve the human condition and benefit humanity on a global scale.

Helping Hands for Single Moms is a community-based nonprofit that assists low-income single mom families while the moms are pursuing a college education and financial independence. Currently we serve clients in the Phoenix-Metro area but are in the process of completing steps to expand to other cities - Portland will most likely be our next location.

Helping Hands is continually recognized by the community as an award-winning organization:

2011  Golden Rule Award
2009  Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education Award
2008  KAET -TV 8  "Be More Award"
2008  Blue Ribbon Agency  - Arizona LeaderForce
2007  Channel 12 TV "12 Who Care" May award winner

Our 10-Year Community Impact

• Over 300 single mom families assisted since 2001

• 83% of our full scholarship clients have graduated or are currently enrolled
• 59 single mom families currently receive benefits

• 24 credits a year and a 3.2 cumulative average GPA achieved regularly by Helping Hands moms
• $45,000 - the starting average career salary of Helping Hands graduates

The program began with a "trial run" in 2001, helping one single mom family- a first generation college student. That nervous, anxious single mom entered community college wondering how she could possibly succeed. To her amazement, she graduated with honors, secured a full-time job and qualified for a Habitat for Humanity home!  This woman transformed from a migrant worker living in subsidized housing to a home owner, providing for her children on a sustainable income with benefits and a career path.

 Helping Hands for Single Moms' program grew and developed around our clients' input. Eventually, a collaborative research project conducted with ASU Partnership for Community Development in 2005 proved to us that we were on the right path.

Marianna Fisher, ND is an Arizona licensed naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, and certified yoga instructor. For nearly 35 years - initiated by the raw food movement in the mid 1970's - she has been studying the vital connection between food and health.  As a holistic practitioner, determined to treat the whole as well as the cause, she discovered that her patients' health is always, in one way or another, also connected to and a reflection of their families, their homes, their workplaces, their communities, and their boundless physical environments.  She learned that it's impossible to guide individuals toward wellness without simultaneously addressing food and these other important aspects of their lives as well. 

Prior to becoming a naturopathic physician, Dr. Fisher created and managed a high-end healthy gourmet catering business, providing a wide variety of wholesome, handmade customized meals for private parties and weddings, including hand-kneaded breads, pastas, salsas, hand-made vegetable chips, pastries, vegetarian delicacies and luscious, healthy desserts. 

After graduating from naturopathic medical school, Dr. Fisher completed a master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine.  Then she spent several years in private practice in Scottsdale, Arizona and Santa Monica, California where she collaborated with other healthcare practitioners in integrated environments, including Arizona Centers for Health and Medicine and Center for Natural Healing. She combines modalities from both naturopathic and Chinese medical systems and specializes in acupuncture, nutrition, homeopathy, herbal therapies and counseling. 

She has been adjunct faculty at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine where she taught herbal pharmacy to first-year medical students.  While in California she worked as a consultant for Whole Foods Markets where she developed an educational program addressing the importance of managing stress. The program was designed to teach large groups of in-store retail shoppers how to select appropriate herbal and nutritional products for proper stress management. She was also solicited by Lifetime TV to audition for a conceptual weekly medical panel discussion focusing on the holistic treatments of women's health issues.

During the past year, Dr. Fisher has been the Staff Physician at the Tree of Life in Patagonia, Arizona where she managed the juice fast/detox program, participated in the Reversing Diabetes program, performed Whole Person Healing evaluations, and conducted nutritional Q/A sessions for Tree of Life guests twice a week.

Khaled grew up in Beirut, Lebanon and came to the United States over 10 years ago to live his dream.  With dedication and sacrifice he became a US citizen, completed a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from Arizona State University then became a successful owner of two luxury car dealerships in Scottsdale.  Although, it seemed like he was living the "American Dream" yet he realized he was not serving his purpose.

And in the process they are left transformed with more power, freedom, full self expression, love and intimacy. He has done multiple bootcamps, workshop, and seminars and he coaches men out in the field interacting with women. But dating and coaching is only the start for Khaled. His ultimate purpose in life which he is dedicated his life for is bringing transformative learning to his native country and cause peace in the Middle East.  He witnessed and survived multiple wars in Beirut and that impacted him strongly. He envisions the people in his home country of Lebanon being fully self-expressed and living a life they love in peace and harmony with their neighbors. He is working towards this as a graduate of Landmark Education and training under Dr. David Berceli for Trauma Release Exercises (TRE). With the help of this renowned therapeutic work he intends to bring a new, healing context to a country with centuries of old traumas and create a healthy, peaceful future for his people.

Carolyn Eberle, LPC, MA, Founder

What are the causes of illness that block our mental and physical well-being? Why are so many people paralyzed with life decisions? Exploring energy adds a missing component and a positive fresh approach to these puzzling mental health concerns. Psychotherapist, LPC, author and energy practitioner, Carolyn Eberle brings 20 years of healing and spiritual teaching to her integrative energy psychotherapy workshops. Her book, Explorer’s Mind will be released next month. It systematically outlines her curative advances in therapy to educate practitioners in the new conscientiousness of energetics to restore balance.

As founder of the Mind Energy Body School of Transformation, Eberle developed a 12 weekend training that unlocks new thinking. Our training institute gives the practitioner a "new eye‟ to view the wholeness of a person and in doing so, to mend the fragmented pieces that torment life's journey. "There is a natural path to our energy and to our healing," said Eberle.

Life experiences create false beliefs about our self. Eberle trains clients and therapists to mine the renewable energy hidden in our true core self. Her pioneering work encourages transformation and gives fuel for the healing journey. Her year training so you can become your own (and another‟s) Mind Energy Body Guide, include lectures, healing demonstrations, guided exercises, meditations, hands-on healing techniques as well as self-healing exercises. Carolyn Eberle resides in Boulder, Colorado has an MA, is a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified massage therapist and a Barbara Brennan, Reiki and Chi Kung practitioner. 

In her book she writes:

Our body houses the truth of who we are, who we are not and who we can someday become. When uncovering this fountain of wisdom, the mind's cooperation is necessary yet the mind rarely cooperates easily. It is like a tiger, protecting its false understanding of itself. The essences of the work I do is to release our own false understanding of ourselves and uncover a much larger truth of who we really are instead of who we fool ourselves to be. Trauma, depression, anxiety and illness transform and heal.

Our internal god-like true self is not devoid of challenging emotions and reactions such as sadness, anger and hate. It does not hold only light but incorporates and integrates the light and the darkness into a powerful and beautiful whole. We do not become more by denying any one part of ourselves. Yet by meeting angry, hurt or abandoned parts with love, non-judgment and compassion, we claim our whole and can realize our individual greatness.Read the first chapters on line at www.mebschooloftransformation.com

Her Mind Energy Body (ME-B) Transformational program and Explorers Mind book holds the philosophy that each person has a spirit that has been born into this earth plane to learn, to teach and to fulfill his/her life tasks. The core of this spirit is whole and god-like. Unfortunately, experiences create an internal programming that distorts our identity or sense of self. As a result it distorts our ability to manifest our dreams and ability to anchor into our own beauty and light. Her work and teachings can help participants remember the following:

Author Martine Ehrenclou, MA, received a thorough education in hospital-patient care with the extended hospitalizations of both her mother and godmother. She spent the equivalent of a full year in three separate hospitals in different states. Having witnessed startling numbers of medical errors, medication mistakes, hospital-acquired infectious diseases, and a number of other "never events," Martine was determined to find out if her family members' hospitalizations were isolated incidents.

After interviewing fifty family members, she found out that in fact her experiences were the norm. Families all reported feeling completely lost, overwhelmed and stymied by the hospital system. They couldn't reach doctors when they needed them, nurses didn't respond to the call button, medication mistakes put their loved ones in peril, and infectious diseases delayed patients' recoveries, if in fact the patients made it out of the hospital alive. Many were convinced that medical errors had killed their family members.

Martine then interviewed over 150 registered nurses, physicians, hospital social workers, psychologists and family members to find out how to empower families to become proactive advocates for their hospitalized loved ones. The results of her efforts and hundreds of hours of research are compiled into her multiple award winning book, Critical Conditions: The Essential Hospital Guide To Get Your Loved One Out Alive.

As an author and patient advocate, Martine has had many of her articles on hospital patient safety published in national magazines, newspapers and on websites and has been interviewed on numerous nationally syndicated radio shows. She currently lectures on the topic of patient advocacy at hospitals and on "How to Survive a Hospital Stay" at universities, organizations and bookstores. She is a monthly contributor to ParentGiving.com.

Martine's next book, The Take-Charge Patient: How You Can Get The Best Medical Care is due out September of 2011. 

She received her masters degree with honors in psychology from Pepperdine University, Los Angeles. 

Martine lives in Los Angeles, CA, with her husband and their daughter.

Gigi Stetler’s story UNSTOPPABLE reads like a best-seller, replete with plot twists, shady characters, and a heroine with many layers. A father-figure mentor who gave Gigi her first opportunity but later stabbed her in the back. An attacker who literally stabbed her 21 times and left her for dead, and success in an industry that conspired to keep her out. In every instance, Gigi was knocked down, brushed herself off, and came back stronger than ever.

There are many sides to this tough-as-nails business woman: She is also a single mom, an accomplished equestrian, and a woman of such immeasurable grace that she visited every day at the deathbed of the mentor who had tried to destroy her. As the sole female owner of three RV dealerships in the country, Gigi operates in a man’s world, carving out her own path to success. She has rewritten the rules and redefined the business climate of the RV industry.

Gigi’s gift of innovation has enabled her to expand her business, while her competitors are closing their doors. With a recession under way, RVs are a tough sell, but her business grosses more than $18 million a year. That’s a big jump from the $500-a-week base pay Stetler earned as an employee at a Fort Lauderdale RV dealership in 1986 where she was promoted to manager after only two weeks, and stayed for 13 years. Along the way, she transformed the business into a customer service focused operation.

“We had all these buyers who were unhappy, so I fixed toilets and made homes level and did whatever it took to get them to trust us,” she says. “Then I threw a thank-you party for them at the dealership and offered a $500 credit for every new customer they brought. People saw we were paying attention to them and started coming in by the truckload." Keeping her customers front and center has also enabled her to successfully expand into new markets.

UNSTOPPABLE is the story of my life. I wrote it in part as a way to exercise the many demons that have plagued me all my life but more importantly to show other women and just as many men that when life happens to you, happen right back.
