My work-life background is varied, consisting of more than 40 years of hands-on business experience.
I have taught elementary school staff to be more effective with "special needs" children, trained nursing home staff how to care for dementia patients, set up personnel departments for new businesses, designed training programs for hotel staff, implemented the start-up of a 100 seat restaurant from the ground up, and taught people who believed they had no talent to become creative artists. I love problem solving and empowering others!
Family issues led me to become intimately acquainted with all aspects of the health field. Not liking the bleak answers that traditional medicine offered, I sought help from alternative practitioners. In spite of the positive results, I remained a little skeptical until I attended a lecture by Dr. Bruce Lipton, whose scientific research studies made sense out of what before had only been mystery.
Dr. Lipton states, "The 'secret of life' is BELIEF. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control our lives. PSYCH-K is a set of simple, self empowering techniques to change beliefs and perceptions that impact life on a cellular level." It was an "Ahah!" moment for me.
I already believed that our natural state of being is vibrant and happy to be alive, and that each of us has great innate wisdom. Now I knew how people could be empowered by tapping into their own wisdom! I studied with shamans, energy healers, and PSYCH-K instructors, and learned that healing goes beyond technique. Successful change or healing is a co-operative endeavor involving You, God, and the healer/facilitator. Though the basis of my work is Psychological Kinesiology, my approach is multi-faceted, blended to suit the individual client's needs and goals. I invite you to allow me to work with you.

"Chaska, thank you so much for bringing this amazing treatment into my life. I have been working diligently on self actualization for a long time. I've read many, many books, set goals, made plans, used affirmation statements, and created vision boards but still, I kept falling back into patterns of behavior that did not serve me. After our first session I immediately felt lighter. The sensation is hard to describe but some of my long held fears and doubts started to melt away. I have been more focused on work and living each moment to its fullest than ever before in my life!!! I feel so alive and free!!!! I love that I can identify barriers and so quickly work them out with you. Psych K is like nothing else I have ever experienced."

"I had wanted to repair/remodel my 80-year-old home for some time. I had some vague ideas about how to finance the project, but was completely overwhelmed by the prospect of deciding what to do and how to do it. I brought this to Chaska, and as we muscle tested, a completely different, very emotional issue came up that had to do with forgiving myself for something that had happened far, far back in my past. We cleared the negative beliefs that I had associated with that event, and I went home feeling lighter and forgot all about it. Within the month, I had one key piece of my project "show up"; that informed all my other choices. The next time I saw Chaska I had secured a home improvement loan, drawn up plans for my project, gotten bids, and scheduled a contractor. She reminded me that I had originally brought this to her as an energy goal and it hadn't even occurred to me! Within six months I had half of my project completed. The rest will be finished within another few months. It still continues to amaze me that, as soon as our own negative beliefs are gone, that space becomes available to create our dreams."
