Who do you serve?
I serve women, married or single, who have the commitment and eagerness to create a more abundant, happy and fulfilling life through self-empowerment. This is the woman who is lacking self-love. She is overwhelmed with self-judgment and guilt, while doubting herself and her self-worth at every turn.
She works so hard to please everyone around her, yet is not able to fully connect to herself or others. She is left empty at the end of the day. She is driven daily by uncontrolled, negative, frantic and, even, self-sabotaging thoughts that leave her feeling fearful, anxious, unloved and unsupported.
She cannot seem to leave the chatter and noise of other peoples’ opinions and thoughts out of her head long enough to follow her own heart and intuition. She does not realize that we create our own experiences and that by going inward and trusting ourselves with our own guidance system, which is our intuition, we can create the lives that we are meant to live on our own terms.
I guide and support women by providing the tools to live a life of self-love and empowerment in alignment to their authentic selves by removing the old, conditioned behaviors and patterns that have not been serving them. I help them to begin telling a new story with the clarity, abundance and connection that will lead to their souls’ purpose in life. Finally, they will feel loved, safe and whole in their own beautiful skin.

Default (DO NOT REMOVE)
Who were you being when you first enrolled into Soul Therapy School®?
My family was imploding from the inside out due to my impending divorce from my husband of 35 years. My role as a wife was over in an instant it seemed due to his betrayal and lack of commitment to our marriage. My world as I knew it crumbled. I did not feel worthy of having a voice or receiving the love I knew I deserved. My sense of security and comfort zone was dissolving. I was loosing control of my life. There was no balance in my life. I wasn’t feeling grounded.
I was having difficulty finding out who I was and what my purpose in life was as my roles that had defined me for most of my life were unraveling around me. My life was a course of blurred lines and I needed direction for the new life that I was thrown into. Then divine intervention took over and I surrendered into that space. When Deborah Skye threw me a lifeline, my soul said “take it now.” It was a leap of faith that changed the trajectory of my life.
Why did you join Soul Therapy School®, what did you feel or think it would give to you that you desired?
I was the person who always made a pro and con list before venturing into a new project. I critically analyzed things and situations from a left-brain perspective and rarely listened to the voice of my heart and soul. I never would have taken a blind leap of faith because my ego was always in charge. I was always a people pleaser at the detriment of my own joy and happiness.
When I found myself at the lowest emotional point in my life, where the crossroads now had no signpost, I prayed and promised that I would listen. The universe answered and knew which way I needed to gravitate towards and suddenly events unfolded revealing a path that to nourish my soul. Soul Therapy School® was a place to heal and nourish my soul and a place to evolve to my greatest good. When Deborah Skye offered me a place in Soul Therapy School®, it felt right. She is an inspiring mentor and teacher. She is the most grounded spiritual teacher I have ever had. I knew that I needed to find the self-love and inner-guidance that was lost somewhere in the busy life I led and I needed the security of self-guidance. I knew this was the place to be supported and guided through the journey that would lead me to the joyful life I deserved.
When did you notice the first changes take place in your life while in Soul Therapy School®?
I noticed changes within the first two months, which was astounding to me. All of a sudden, it became clear that behaviors that were very normal to me most of my life were anything but normal. How is it that emotional and verbal abuse can seem so commonplace? For me the reason was that those behaviors first showed up in my relationship with my mother and then continued in my relationship with my husband. A pattern of not being worthy continued to beat me down through their own issues of control. And I allowed it. But those behaviors were so subtle that they seeped into the inner fiber of my heart and soul. It was a game that had it’s own comfort zone, until it didn’t. All of a sudden, I had to take responsibility for playing a part in those games.
Not until Deborah Sky held up that mirror that reflected the truth of those games did I see it clearly. As the veil of truth slowly lifted, I began to change those patterns and behaviors because they no longer served me. I also became
conscious of the other games that had become part of my every day life. A private life intertwined and undefined, without borders or boundaries, in the web of a corporate world defined by power, greed, control and manipulation with no integrity or concern for humanity became the last place I wanted to be.
At first, it was a bit frightening to me to step away from a life that seemed so normal, but I began to clearly see it as very twisted. I slowly accepted the changes occurring all around me and was able to move into a more present and loving way of thinking and living. When you open your life to receiving love, self-acceptance and abundance, the shift is miraculous.
Where in your life have you seen the greatest shift to your awareness and life from being in Soul Therapy School®?
The greatest shift occurred when I committed to living in the moment. My life became more enriching. I let go of situations that were not in my control and began to enjoy the life that I was creating. Slowly, the constant chatter in my head of not deserving love and happiness dissipated. I realized the people in my life were amazing and I felt blessed they were a part of my life. I began to have a stronger connection to this beautiful earth we live in and began having a firm understanding of the responsibility I have to all things of this universe. I became more conscious of the spoken word and its power not only to myself, but also to others.
I have always been a healthy person, but now it is so clear that the connection of the mind, body and soul cannot be disregarded. I know immediately when my thoughts are wavering from the positive to the negative because my body will show me almost instantly. My body has shown me its intrinsic intelligence that I now trust unconditionally. The freedom of knowing I am in charge of my life is empowering. Trusting that love dissolves fear is the name of the game. Knowing my soul is full of love for me and for all those around me is a self-igniting force.

The benefits of Soul Therapy School® expands exponentially. That is to say that everyone around you feels the positive energy and wants a piece of that happiness. This begins to happen so subtly to family members, friends and even to strangers you meet in your daily life. But on a personal level what happens is magical.

A life of happiness, tranquility, love and abundance in every area you can imagine becomes a reality. This is not to say that life will not bring its challenges. But those challenges have become opportunities for my own self growth and personal evolution. I have become more conscious of all things around me. My daily story has changed and now my new story has enriched my life and allowed me to trust myself and the universal forces that are working with me to create the best life I can live. Deborah Skye and Soul Therapy School® will change your life in ways that before you could only dream of.
If a Mother was asking you, 'How will enrolling into Soul Therapy School® benefit or help me and my children?' what is your response to her?
I was a stay at home mom, so that said, my children were my main focus daily. I was careful about their daily food intake. I made sure that there was no TV during the week and limited and supervised viewing during the weekend. I did all the carpooling to school, after school events and all the other extracurricular events. I was present during my conversations with them. I asked all the questions appropriate to their day. I developed a very close relationship with all of them. I was super mom. But (isn’t there always a BUT?), I lost my identity. I was last in line for everything. I did not nurture myself. I thought that I was being selfless by doing that. I was always depleted of sleep, energy and ultimately myself. I depleted myself on all levels, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. I even felt guilty, when they were all off to school, when I sat in my garden to read and have a cup of coffee by myself. I always felt like I had to do something. I never just sat with myself, to renew myself. The guilt was overwhelming. I was always looking for acknowledgement that I was being a good mother. That I could do it all. But what was I really showing my children?
I wish I had gone through this program before having and raising my five children because I would have been more present instead of worrying about everything. How I was being judge or rated as a mother by my husband, family, friends and society in general was always in the back of my mind. If I could have let go of everyone’s judgement of me, it would have made life more joyful and easier. I would have better understood their behaviors, desires, even their fears and would have been able to empower them to have a better understanding of who they are and how to better interact with each other. I would have been a better role model in so many ways. I would have taught them that no matter what, to love themselves unconditionally and to trust their inner guidance/intuition.
Working with Deborah Skye directly, how would you describe her teaching/mentoring style and it's effects on you?
She is the most amazing, intuitive and loving teacher I have ever had. She explains things in a way that I can clearly see what she is trying to teach me and has lead me to learn outside of my comfort zone. She calls you out to see your truth and inspires you to lead with love. She has taught me the true meaning of love, which begins with me but even more all the parameters that encase that word and has lead me to a truer meaning of my life purpose.
I feel so blessed to have found her and her teachings. She is so authentic and an amazing guide on the road to my personal and spiritual growth. I can’t wait to share all that I have learned from her. I know that I have always been a teacher of many things and realized through her that I have many gifts to impart to all the wonderful people that are and will be energetically drawn to me. She has changed my life for the better and I feel so blessed to have her in my life.
Saying YES! to joining Soul Therapy School® what area in your life has been the most impacted?
I have to say that my self confidence and trust in myself has had the most impact. I always wavered and suffered from the imbalance of indecision. It is such an empowering feeling to trust my intuition and feeling that I am on the right path. Fear has overtaken my life for most of my lifetime and it was concealed under so many different names and feelings that I couldn’t define or recognize but now most, if not all my fears have been replaced by self love, a place I didn’t realize existed before I started Soul Therapy School®.
Also, I was lost as to what my life’s purpose was and now I am so happy that I can serve humanity by doing the work through Soul Therapy. I want to empower by helping to elevating fear in a world that is so driven by it and to replace it with love, which is the main ingredient that is missing in daily life.
