Her creative tools and practices--including therapeutic photography, writing and ritual--enhance consciousness, creativity, learning, communication and well-being.

Pam is a certified shamanic practitioner, a life coach, and a designer of popular workshops. Also a photographic artist and writer, she is creator of the Sand Spirits™, a deck of photographic wisdom and divination cards. An educator and pioneer in the field of therapeutic photography, Pam has written and spoken widely on personal growth and healing. She uses her experience as a cancer survivor to work with people encountering illness, loss or death. A private pilot since age 57, Pam works with people of all ages to overcome their fears and to "fly," or lift their personal and organizational lives up to a level of vitality, purpose and passion. As an educator, Pam writes and speaks about "seeing through a different lens," where everything is alive and where ecstatic experiences are waiting in the ordinary world for us to discover them.

After earning a B.A. from Stanford University and an M.A. in Education from Columbia University, Pam worked as a photographic artist and teacher with learning disabled, physically challenged and gifted students from the elementary to graduate level. She went on to become a professional fundraiser for the arts, higher education and the health sciences, and has been trained as a mediator and an interfaith spiritual counselor.

Pam is a consultant who brings spirituality and creativity into the business world with a style that is warm, humorous and sensitive. After graduating from the Healing School of the Four Winds Society and working with Q'ero shamans in Peru, today Pam enjoys a practice with clients facing a variety of challenges, helping them "bring the soul back to life" and to live out their possibilities. She presents internationally and has some fluency in French and an excellent command of Spanish.
