In her own words:  “First as a participant and then as a member of the womb team, I have experienced the transformative power of the womb experience.  The Transcendental Rebirthing experience empowers the individual to choose a new future, free from old patterns and beliefs that limit, and diminish.  It empowered me as a participant, to recognize beliefs and feelings that I carried that were not mine.  It has transformed my relationship with my daughter, and with myself.  There in the absolute safety and love of the Womb, I recognized my connection to all of humanity. As a Womb Team member, I am a witness and a supporter of this process for each individual.

I am committed to bring the principles of Transcendental Rebirthing into manifestation in my daily life and to support others who desire to do the same: To live consciously, mindfully and with discernment, Actualizing the TR Principles in thought, act and language.
