"My life changed so rapidly in the last year that I didn't really know which way was up.  I had been reactive all of my life, living in the past and the future, but never in the present. Then, I met Della. Wanting to rid myself of anger, judgments, grudges, unhappiness, fear & anger, I spoke with Della at great length about extreme life issues- disease, leaving the work force, divorce, and internal anger I had carried my entire life. Della's guidance was calming allowed me to consider other ways of living.  With her counsel and observation, I have become an entirely different person: happy, content, full of joy and life, full of love for the world." -Ken B.,  New York, Paris, Chiang Mai
