I am Connie. I am a person who loves life, lives experientially, and enjoys connecting with people, animals, and nature on a deep level. I am a mom and a grandmother. 

In addition to owning my own business where I see clients, certify others in the specialty of hypnosis, facilitate workshops, and speak professionally, I also have 30 years or corporate leadership experience within medical non-profit, manufacturing, and family-owned business sectors. I bring every aspect of that experience to successfully own and operate my own business and to my corporate clients with workshops, consulting services, and speaking and presentations for businesses.

I gained my influential and leadership confidence by:

1. Sitting at tables with the CDC, EPA, and FDA to move forward public health programs. 

2. Working with the MLB and NFL on skin cancer awareness and prevention campaigns.

3. Serving as the Co-Chair for the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention.

8. Serving as a contributor to the CDC's Shade Planning for America's Schools.

9. Coordinating the creation of guidelines for dermatologist and first responders on the appropriate protocols with anthrax and other deadly bioterrorism agents after 9/11. Through a grant which I managed from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, helped drive access to these guidelines for other medical specialties.

10. Being named Hypnotherapist of the Year 2023, awarded from the Michigan Hypnotherapy Guild.
