From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides. There's a reason this place is called Phoenix. We talk about awakening, awareness and other terms in healing, they've become quite the buzz words (along with "woke,") but, for me, what I would call my awakening was a momentary death of ego and a rebirth of mind, body and spirit. Was it the firewalk, the driving, the teachers I met along the way? ...or just the Native American ritual in a world class spa? I've experienced so many types of healing - all I know is that what works for one person is wrong for another. Every body is different. Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa and the rest, the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, they are also just stories... ...for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life. "You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures." "I've just booked my first holiday in 13 years!" "To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!"
