"I want to help everyone do this: create a life that supports us financially while being based in our own creative genius and in true healing for ourselves and for the planet."

Throughout all her studies and travels, Maggie always felt that if she could understand the principles of a healthy individual, she could apply these principles to the greater society in hopes of healing it.
