As a winner of seven world titles in the sport of windsurfing and a 1992 Barcelona Olympian she knows what it takes to win, set and achieve goals and inspire individuals and teams. Her coaching and programs are founded in the physics of consciousness, complexity theory, emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.
