For many years, I’ve been deeply immersed in SAM’s profound philosophy which encapsulates the Chinese proverb, “Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime.” Through the candid, no-nonsense practical approach of Maureen & Guides, I embarked on a deep inner journey. Their down-to-earth wisdom has been instrumental in untangling long-standing, unproductive patterns, and upgrading outdated beliefs and perspectives. In short, they’ve catalyzed a complete turnaround in my life, and for that I am forever grateful!
Maureen & Guides’ mission is clear: to empower individuals to master the art of self-reliance and create the empowered lives they seek. Their teachings break down the human experience into three essential components: you Ego Costume, your Soul the journeyer, and Essence, providing invaluable insights into our multifaceted existence. With their guidance, I’ve learned not only to better navigate life’s challenges but to thrive, embracing the inherent power within to shape my own destiny. Thank you Maureen and Guides!
I’ve had the privilege of training with, and receiving mentorship from Lori Lamont, EFTi Trainer, Mentor, and Practitioner. Under Lori’s guidance, I’ve not only attained my EFT accreditation but also experienced personal empowerment on a deeper level. Her ongoing guidance has been pivotal in fortifying my coaching practice with a modality grounded in science and research.
Discovering the gentle yet very powerful Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) through Lori’s teachings has been nothing short of enlightening. Her dedication to her craft and unwavering support have allowed me to expand my horizons and serve my clients with greater efficacy and compassion. Thank you Lori!
Commencing in early 2022, I became a member of Margaret’s year-long intensive “Super Coach Program.” focusing on another aspect of my journey – that of being an entrepreneur. This immersive experience delved deeply into getting real results for our clients.
The invaluable insights gleaned from this program have become an important part of my coaching practice. Specifically, I’ve enhanced my knowledge and capacity in the following areas: unravelling money blocks, overcoming procrastination, igniting motivation, and fostering sustainable action. Combining this knowledge with EFT and spiritual practices allows my clients to make sustainable lasting changes and experience concrete results in their daily lives. With greater clarity in hand, these women can heal old limiting wounds, create a new vision for their future, move forward with greater confidence and self-trust, catch self-defeating behaviours as they rise, and remain in the energy of inspired action more consistently. Thanks to both you and your team Margaret!
Margaret is also a published author, whose books I have enjoyed and continue to use as references:

As I embarked on a new chapter after retiring from my career in education, I found myself yearning for a personal development approach that honored feminine energy and its inherent power. Despite my achievements within the confines of the prevailing masculine paradigm—defined by control, analysis, and logical, linear thinking—I still felt unfulfilled. The relentless pursuit of goals through ceaseless action left me drained and longing for something different.
Recognizing the limitations of the solely masculine model, I sought a holistic approach that embraced both feminine and masculine energies, each contributing its unique strengths to our collective evolution.
Providentially, my quest led me to Dr. Claire Zammit, the visionary founder of Feminine Power. In her teachings, I discovered the missing piece of the puzzle—the integration of feminine wisdom into personal and professional growth within her online course, “Feminine Power – The Essential Course for Awakening Woman,”
Attending one of Dr. Zammit’s immersive three-day events further deepened my understanding and practice of Feminine Power principles. Among the myriad insights offered, the Feminine Power Transformation Matrix emerged as a beacon of clarity, illuminating the three core identities— “I’m Not Enough,” “I’m Invisible – Not seen, not heard,” and “I’m All Alone”—that underpin our female experiences across all facets of life.
Personally, I’ve found the Feminine Power Transformation Matrix to be an indispensable tool, offering a comprehensive framework for addressing and transcending these foundational beliefs. Thank you to both you and your team, Claire!

From a distance, Caroline Myss has been a guiding presence in my journey, extending her wisdom through various mediums such as her enlightening books, insightful YouTube videos, and her exclusive membership platform – The Inner*Net.
Within her membership site, a treasure trove awaits, featuring a rich library of On-Demand Workshops, thought-provoking Reflections courses, and the ability to stream many of her live in person workshops. Despite having a full year of access to explore her vast reservoir of knowledge, there were still numerous resources left untouched. Some courses became personal favorites, drawing me back for multiple listens as I sought to fully absorb the profound insights they offered.
Caroline’s approach is refreshingly candid and straightforward, and allowed me to comprehend concepts that previously eluded my understanding due to their abstract, spiritual nature. Her ability to articulate these ideas with clarity has empowered me to convey thoughts and feelings I previously struggled to express.
