MAGNIFICENT MIMI ~ AUTHOR

Join me in welcoming my latest book:

Magnificent Mimi - The Dinosaur Dilemma

Having always been inspired by the innocence and wonder of children, I started to write stories and poems that captured the magic of these adventures and discoveries - many taken from precious moments and memories with my own grandkids.

Join me and my new sidekick, Magnificent Mimi, as we explore her imagination and her magical, limitless world of wonder, amazement and experiences.

Mimi spends her inspiring curious young girls and boys,

encouraging them to stop, look, feel & ask -

and to have ‘Magnificent’ life adventures -

each in their own special way.

UNCHARTED CORNERS OF CONSCIOUSNESS ~ GUIDEBOOK FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH ~ CO-AUTHOR

After 20+ years of study, co-author Gerbrig Berman

and I wrote a book about the inspired transmissions

and aphorisms we received and taught our clients,

and then transcribed and translated these

'Teachings from the Team'

into different applications and exercises.

Uncharted Corners is less a ‘Who dunnit?', and

more a ‘How to’ book - helping one to connect to

one’s higher dimensions and broader spiritual awarenesses.

This is a guidebook for unleashing and realizing your full potential - injecting the mystical into the mundane.

UNEXPECTED HEARTS - AUTHOR

Over 10 years ago, I started curating and posting random and whimsical photos of hearts and patterns I found in nature, collecting them on Unexpected Hearts.

The magic, adventure and delight of finding these serendipitous treasures was more fully ignited when

my co-conspirator grandkids joined me on these hunts.

We forged new and lasting bonds -

and I thank each of them with all my hearts.

Unexpected Hearts is a reminder of the joy of nature and the physical manifestation of love in the world.

'CRAZY ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH' - ADVOCATE

I have always been a dedicated and passionate advocate for Mental Health, and one of the driving forces

behind a local Canadian organization [MH;EB]

Mental Health; Everybody's Business

(formerly Crazy about Mental Health)

The history of my namesake, Aunt Rose Schultz,

fuelled me with a passion and determination to help eradicate stigma and encourage people to speak out:

making it as COMMON, COMFORTABLE and

ACCEPTABLE to discuss one's mental health

as it is to speak about Cancer.

We co-sponsored a graphic novel titled Feeling Weird, highlighting youth dealing with mental health and offering resources for teens, schools and parents alike.

HUMAN DYNAMICS ~ TEACHER

In 1984, I met Dr. Sandra Seagal at an introductory workshop on Human Dynamics. This profound encounter led me on a course of study and self-examination

that transformed me - personally and professionally -

for over 30 years.

The understandings of Human Dynamics are universal: they apply regardless of age, culture or gender.

They shed light on the different ways

in which people are naturally “designed”

to communicate, relate, learn and collaborate.

The knowledge and practices of Human Dynamics can

be applied on both personal and transpersonal levels.

Human Dynamics has made contributions globally in the fields of business, education and health. I was pleased to introduce Dr. Seagal into London Life Insurance, thus bringing Human Dynamics into Canada, showing them what this work could offer their organization.

THE TRAGER APPROACH ~ PRACTITIONER

Trager Bodywork is movement re-education.

I was blessed with having trained under

Dr. Milton Trager, a pioneer in the Mind / Body Field.

I have been a teacher and practitioner for 35+ years.

In parallel with my Trager training, I learned a great deal from Dr. Sandra Seagal - discoverer and initiator of the Human Dynamics body of knowledge.

Using the table work and self-care aspects of

Trager movement (Mentastics), and incorporating

the understandings of Human Dynamics,

this blended approach led to the creation my new

Trager elective: The Dynamic Language of Touch.

BLOCK PARENT PROGRAM ~ CO-FOUNDER

Established in 1968, I was Co-Founder (with Arlene Gladstone)
of Block Parent®, the largest and longest running

Child Safety program in Canada.

London’s National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) -

working closely with police, schools and school boards -

adapted the program to meet local needs.

We created an educational module that was launched into every elementary classroom and recruited Parents from the PTAs.

Once established and handed over to London’s Pedestrian Safety Council, the program went nationwide in 1972.

Dedicated to the late Ellen Brownstone (NCJW)

and victim Frankie Jensen (RIP) and family,

whose tragic abduction and death was our call to action.

In 2025, Criminologists Dr. Kim Varma and Kanwal Khokhar published Guardians of the Community: The Block Parent® Program of Canada, examining the social, political and cultural conditions that shifted along with the BP program to better understand the landscape of child protection and community crime prevention over the last 50 years.
