Zoey says,

Here is what I stand for:

I help others connect with their heart & soul through holistic & powerful wisdom coaching.

My Values: love, integrity, honesty, fun, freedom, collaboration, co-creation, simplicity, community, sustainability.

My Guiding Principles and Words of Wisdom:

I hold this truth as self evident, that all humans are created equal.

I believe that power and synergy occurs when people hold a similar vision.

I believe that each person bears a uniqueness that asks to be lived.

I believe that we have the ability to create the life we desire.

I believe in sharing our time, talents and treasures.

I believe in a power greater than myself and in the harmony of universal laws

I envision: a healthy, peaceful and vibrant world anchored in a “partnership model” (Rianne Eisler).

I believe: as does the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean (Canada’s Governor General) and Kofi Annan (former UN secretary-general), “that the future of the world rests on women’s shoulders.”

I honour and respect: our elders, the children of the planet and Gaia herself.

I believe: that elder women carry the wisdom forward and are a re-emerging “wisdom council” for the world.

I believe: in the goodness of people, in kindness, in joy, in the future.
