“Throughout my life I have experienced transformative events that most people would consider outside the realm of ordinary life.  Those shamanic experiences have served as springboards into living a life that is meaningful.“

For over 20 years I practiced nursing in hospitals in the Los Angeles and San Francisco area. In the early 80’s I obtained an advanced certificate for Nurse Practitioner from University of California, Davis’ School of Family Medicine. (FNP).  My first job as a Nurse Practitioner was working in an Orange County Family Practice clinic in a barrio in Santa Ana, California.  It was here while working that I had my experience Deathwalking my “abuelita” Grandma Rosie. Later I joined a Rheumatology medical practice (the study and treatment of joint and inflammatory immune system diseases) and ended up in a Neurology practice with a nationally well-known neurologist who specialized in headache management and chronic pain.

In the late 1980’s I left the medical world to help run “Power Places,” an international custom group tour company my husband Dr. Toby Weiss named and founded in the early 1980’s. “Power Places” is now a commonly used term that relates to awe-inspiring ancient sites around the world with special energies or a sense of a mystical feeling to them. Examples of such mystical sites would be the Great Pyramid and Sphinx, Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, the Mayan pyramids such as at Chichen-Itza, temples in Tibet, plus many more. Toby invented the special niche of “transformational travel,” creating the mileau on-site for travelers to open their “awareness” to experience the special energies at these ancient sacred sites. As Director and Vice President I was in charge of the international on-site tours, and international conference management.
