In December 2006, Deborah experienced a break through with an instantaneous shift in consciousness following a powerful Chakra clearing massage from a Reiki master. In the ten days that followed, she dropped 15 pounds, wrote a book, downloaded the framework of her life path, and witnessed yoga postures emerging in mediation without having received any formal yoga instruction. When she returned to the classroom after winter break, her principal asked, "What happened to you?" At that time, she didn't have an answer. What happened wasn't something she had learned about in any classroom. In search of answers, in 2007, Deborah completed Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Levels 1 and 2 and left the high school classroom to enter the heart of education--Education of the Heart. With powerful lessons learning to listen, trust and allow, she received advanced training in Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy, Lightwave Energy Therapy, Uttati Aromatherapy, and New Earth Academy Curriculum Innovation. In 2014, she learned that some of her most advanced teachers in the classroom of the future were masters of unity consciousness disguised as non verbal autistic.

One fall morning in 2013, Deborah's channeled writing revealed that she would soon meet a young man with the keys to scientific education. That day, as a substitute teacher in a special needs classroom, she heard the telepathic message of an eight year old non verbal master and responded with a whisper of Light Language and an awakened understanding of his unique gifts. Deborah is known as a teacher, mentor and coach who connects heart to heart in ways beyond words.
