How does a lifestyle analyses work?
Complete this lifestyle analyses form, photocopy it and mail it to me. I will give you the address when I receive your payment.

Include a check or money order for $250.00 Please call and leave a message in my phone mail system [818.992.5733] as to when it is convenient for you to schedule your consultation with me.  Be sure to leave a phone number and best time to reach you.

After I review and analyze your information, I devise a list of recommendations and share them with you during our first consultation. After you review my suggestions, you need to make sure you know what I am recommending and how to implement it in your life. Avoid being too shy to say, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND". If you would like to continue working with me, you can book 15 to 45 minute follow-up sessions as you please or you can buy a package. 

If you are on a strict budget, workshops are the way to go: $50.00 x 10 or more of your friends and associates. 
The best thing about building a group is that you are creating a network of like-minded friends and associates.


LIFESTYLE ANALYSES: If you leave certain areas blank, that is O.K. Just do your best.
