In the late 1990’s a whack on the side of the head (literally in a car accident) triggered her access to a form of deep intuition and connection that she has been using in service to clients since that time. The Divine Potential program is the synthesis of many years of this work. And by the way, one thing you can count on from Sandy is that she is always growing and stretching and is very committed to continuously taking her work to the next level, so stay tuned for the evolution of this work.

Now a bit of life context…. And whether any of this gives her any credibility in your mind is your call, but she certainly has accumulated plenty of stories to tell.

She spent 3 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Congo teaching biology and doing public health research. And yes, Peace Corps is the” toughest job you will ever love” and she would still consider serving again.

In her adventurous “world traveler” stage she hitchhiked across the Sahara; climbed the “Mountains of the Moon”- the Ruwenzoris on the Congo-Uganda border; communed with mountain gorillas; rafted the Grand Canyon at flood level; escaped kidnapping in Algeria; and swam with the wild dolphins off the big island of Hawaii.

On the domestic side, she ran a 60 head llama ranch in Eastern Washington and has been know to tell her corporate consulting clients “No consulting in May and June--I have 15 babies due”. She even got married on a 6-day llama trek in the Cascades where you had to have a topographical map to get to the wedding. Much to her surprise 30 people actually showed up!

Along the way she actually did some “real work” and has consulted in England; Sri Lanka; Canada; South Africa; Aruba; Sudan and the Ivory Coast. In addition, she has also traveled for pure pleasure and would love to get back to doing more work in developing countries, especially in micro-credit lending for women.

Sandy spent three decades as a corporate consultant specializing in negotiation and high performance teams, and had her own consulting company in Seattle for almost twenty years before moving back East to Virginia Beach. She has been know to occasionally savor a good single malt scotch and looks great in a “hard hat” which comes from spending more than a decade working in heavy manufacturing operations like pulp mills and aluminum smelters. During this era she was often the only woman in the room, which was both fun and challenging. Because of this, she has since devoted considerable energy to cherishing and using her feminine and creative side-which really is more fun anyways.

Now for the dull stuff… Early in her career Sandy conformed and punched many of the “right tickets” accumulating a Masters of International Administration, a Masters of Science from Yale and a Bachelors of Science with Honors from Cornell. She is also a Certified Professional Coach and a certified Mediator. But quite frankly, any credibility she has comes from the “grey haired wisdom and mystery school” and the curriculum of advanced adventures in living.
