The Organic Inquiry journey has been quite the experience
for me, and even though I finished my doctorate in 2003, the journey has yet to come to completion. There is something
mysterious about getting involved with this research methodology -- it seems to take on a life of its own in order to study
the researcher.
Coinciding with the completion
of my doctorate in psychology from Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center in San Francisco, research
associate Steve Wells and I self-published a small guide for other students who are interested in using the Organic Inquiry
approach in their work. The first edition sold out within a week of publication.
An Organic Inquiry
Primer for the Novice Researcher:
A Sacred Approach
to Disciplined Knowing can now be purchased on Amazon, or from the print-on-demand publisher, Infinity
Publishing.
When I'm
not consulting with Organic Inquiry students, I am an international client-attraction coach helping new and struggling
self-employed individuals in the healing arts gain more clients with grace and ease to make their business thrive.
And I
provide in-person and tele-counseling services for women who suffer from overwhelming worry, stress and shame and want to
gain glowing, empowered self confidence in personal and professional life.

| Steve Wells, Research Associate & Co-Author |
I consider myself a self-directed, life long learner,
with an academic background in multidisciplinary studies and wholistic environmental design, and long standing interests in
such topics as cultural anthropology, philosophy, transpersonal and humanistic psychology, spirituality, non-ordinary states
of consciousness, and healing.
My professional experience includes producing events
for a cutting-edge gay cultural arts collective, managing a rural food cooperative while homesteading on 40 acres (without
a mule), and creating and directing a non-profit healing arts community center in Seattle WA, where a wide range of transformative
experiences were explored by diverse participants.
As an informal independent scholar, I am currently
engaged in a longitudinal, heuristic study of the interplay of mental and physical disorders and related psychospiritual states
of consciousness. I love spending time with plants and in nature.
