1. Welcome
Wow. Who would have guessed it?
a few weeks ago, our home team, the
St. Louis Cardinals, were the regular
season stumblebums. Now they are in
the World Series moving into victory!
St. Louis definitely has a winning spirit
and a capacity to pull together many
resources to rise to a challenge. It is
more than baseball, it is also about
winning in the game of life. Everywhere
I go, I find people consciously aware
of the need to make changes to create
a better world.
My contribution to the game of life is my
new website, www. lifetreesolutions.com.
This website pulls together concepts and
tools from a number sources to help
individuals and families play a winning
game in times of rapid change and shift.
2. Facing the Challenge
Today, we are experiencing a major shift
in our consciousness. The challenge of
planetary survival has given rise to an
emerging movement of discerning, skillful,
and soulful people who are working to raise
consciousness about the environment,
challenge outmoded thinking, and mobilize
the unifying force of love.
Coming from a background in human
development, I have been most curious
about this shift. Over the last five
years, I have been on an exhaustive
quest for the concepts and tools needed
to help individuals and families to
successfully navigate change.
This has led to my training in positive
psychology, relationship coaching, conscious
evolution, mind-body techniques, and new
strategies in business. Finally, the
information has come together so as to
provide services that can help
individuals, families, and family
businesses.
The result is Lifetree Solutions.
3. Lifetree Solutions
The word "Lifetree" comes from the metaphor
of the "Tree of Life," which speaks to
the universal themes of rebirth, immortality,
and the union of male and female strengths.
I use the word "Lifetree" to represent
our journey of life, the path of our own
"Lifetree." Beginning with our family
tree, for better and for worse.
Throughout our lives, it represents
our journey according to our level of
consciousness.
At Lifetree Solutions, our goal is to
provide the concepts and tools needed
to help individuals and families raise
and expand their consciousness so as
to build legacies of healthy, happy,
prosperous lives.
4. Playing to Win
At Lifetree Solutions, I use a two-
pronged approach. The first is to build
on the positive by helping you to tap
into your core strengths -- right where
you are, right now. We also take the
time to help you relate them to your
family, what was missing, and how you
would like things to change.
At the same time, we also look at
sources of stress and release them.
I call this "blueprint release."
This word became popular through
the work of T. Harv Eker. He spoke
of "money blueprints" that determine
our financial success. We also have
blueprints for our relationships,
and for our health.
When we release the negative energy
from these blueprints, they become
more positive. We experience ourselves
as being more connected, our mindset
becomes much more expansive, and we are
better able to function out of our
higher selves. We experience much more
fulfillment, have more satisfying
relationships, and are more able to
win in the game of life.
If you would like to learn more,
I encourage you to explore my

Warm Regards,
Dr. Alice
