Lynne Forrest

Lynne came up through the ranks of experiential learning rather than the more traditional academic route. Lynne has been educated through a lifetime of studying and observing metaphysical principles that were taught to her early in life. Lynne has sought and found practical ways of applying those principles for immediate positive change. In the early seventies, she started out in the mental health field, hired and trained by an HMO (health maintenance organization) in social work and mental health. She has been in the field of personal growth since moving to the addictions field in the early 1980s,  after successfully transforming her own addiction. 

As a perpetual student of life and consciousness, Lynne has devoted her career to studying with masters of various disciplines. Family dynamics, Jungian principles, dreams, shadow work, psychodrama, as well as the laws of manifestation. Body-oriented practices such as yoga, physical unwinding, and qigong are just some of the approaches Lynne applies in her work with others. 

“I have come to see that we tend to react to life in one of two ways – we either react out of the victim mentality, with the need to find someone or thing to blame, or we learn to stand back and see life through the eyes of the observer, able to see without criticism. I help people recognize the victim mind, which sees themselves as being at the mercy of life, and instead to cultivate a degree of radical self-responsibility and self-acceptance that sets them on the path to inner freedom, peace, and joy” -Lynne
