What our graduates say.
“I thought it was going to give me (us) strategies for working with others. However, I (we) got a bonus. I got to do some work on myself. Thank you. After doing a B.A., M.B.A. and having almost completed a Ph.D in psychology, nothing — neither practicum nor internship — had offered me such a scope for introspection and healing. Thank you, Sandra, for this wonderful opportunity.”
“My life was not working and I didn’t even know why. Sandra helped me recognize root issues and get free of them. As a result, I have a great new career, a better marriage and I am a more loving friend, daughter, mother and sister. I am able to show up who I am and operate in integrity.”
“This newfound freedom and release have allowed me to begin breaking the bondage of habitual bad decisions and errors in judgment. I have now discovered the strength and ambition to fulfill the unrealized dreams that have plagued me, and for the first time I feel that my life is on track.”
“Thank you, Sandra, for this amazing experience. It has profoundly changed my life.”
