This listing contains books and audio CD's that have been useful to my clients. Many books are often available in CD format if you prefer to listen while walking or in the car (remember you cannot listen to meditation CD's while driving). . You can find many of these titles in your  local library or order online by selecting the "Buy Books and CD's" tab on the left side of this page.  There you will find these titles plus many more.

Please feel free to let me know of any that you find particularly helpful from this list or from other sources so that our reading list can grow..

Yes, she has an unusual name but she provides help for a host of life situations such as depression, sleep difficulties, grief, stress, pregnancy, medical conditions, etc.   Her CD's contain guided imagery exercises that many have found to be very helpful.
