Dr. Margaret Pinder

For over 50 years, Dr. Margaret Woolsey Pinder has followed her dream to work with people as a personal advocate and resource who evokes and furthers their own destinies and dreams. Her focus remains on authentic, empowered living, drawing from a rich clinical and educational background to partner with seekers in the grand adventure of transformation.
"True transformation occurs when wisdom and love translate into contemplative, courageous, and empowered actions."
