E. Cormier, Louisiana

I loved being out in nature and so much appreciated how open everyone was. So much of what was shared had a true resonance to experiences in my own life. It also helped to hear and understand what other women are going through, their experiences and responses.

Bibi Sharma, Los Gatos, CA

Loved how heartfelt it was and how you created so much love and safety in this group – it was very profound for me.

Renee Miller, Fremont, CA

Connie’s leadership is exceptional. Her seasoned experience as a group leader, therapist, minister/lover of life and attention to detail allowed me (a natural organizer and caretaker) to truly let go into “retreat” and receive the gifts of relaxation, rejuvenation, connection, and Nature’s Beauty.

You are a powerful and loving force Connie… I wanted to let you know how much your presence and your class touched me to the core.

Connie is a gem. Connie’s vast experiences and wisdom are clearly evident in her teaching and counseling…This is Connie’s gift to us; she is able to take very difficult, complex, hard to understand concepts and make it down-to-earth, relatable and applicable to our modern lives. Her teachings stay with you long after the class. There are many times I hear… “Weaves a Philosophical and Spiritual Message”

Lynn Cheng Kaylor, Fremont, CA

Your classes have literally “awakened” in me the ability to view myself and the world in a more compassionate way. I have taken this new awareness into my very soul. You have shown me the ” light”, namaste.

Connie is one of those precious few who are able bring much insight, flexibility and heart to human concerns. She is someone who I admire and who I would recommend without hesitation.

Connie’s website, AwakeningSelf.com is aptly named. Of the many gifts I’ve received as a student and mentee of Connie’s, the most profound has been greater ability to go within and cultivate peace. Connie has a great ability to read the room, perceive what’s needed, and deliver that. This is one of the things that makes a great, rather than good… “Always Inspired”

Even from my childhood, I would look out through the shutters of my window at night and wonder at the stars – in awe of all of creation. What was I here for? How did my little life fit into this vastness? I felt a strong connection to God in my heart, but what was really the Truth? What was Real? I was filled with questions and sought answers.
