Let us bring out the best in your child. Every child has unique talents and abilities. We use a technique called "auditing." An auditor is "one who listens." When auditing children we use a special series of questions and commands that is fun for the child. Auditing increases a child's happiness, intelligence and self-esteem.
We are pastoral counselors. Pastoral counseling is a branch of counseling in which ordained ministers, rabbis, priests and others provide therapy services. The therapists integrate modern psychological thought and method with traditional religious training. --Wikipedia

"I liked it because it was mostly fun to do. At some points you helped me find myself--myself that got lost inside the little unhappy lies that were inside my head that you helped get rid of most of them. It got even better with the tasty muffins that you made!"
Mom: "My daughter started getting auditing (see definition at top of page) from Anita several months ago. She was failing first grade, very insecure and generally not doing well. She is now doing much better in school. She says that she is 'doing better in school, finally' (she is getting tutoring as well). She now knows she is a spiritual being, not just a body. She knows when she is 'messing up' and now fixes it. For example, yesterday I asked her for the 100th time to put her clothes back where they belong and not on the closet floor. She said 'okay' and not only cleaned up but also refolded all the shirts and pants neatly so the shelves looked perfect. She is now aware of the emotions of others. When she asks how you are she really wants to know. She now shares her love fully and unconditionally. She is understanding when asking how her friend is doing who just lost her mom. She feels sad when she makes a mistake or upsets a friend. She knows how to fix an 'upset' and gets back into communication with the person. She can be disciplined very quickly and easily now and she responds to it. She gets ready for school by herself. She does her teeth almost without my asking. She seems to be better at handling 'time' so that all is done and she is fed in time to leave for school. (Others in the house don't have this awareness yet, so I appreciate it!) She wants to read more difficult books than is for her level. She likes to help others. She wants to help people who have less than she has. For example, she sent money to the Tsunami people and to Baton Rouge. Her confidence is greatly increased. She is not as 'wild' as she was. She appears happy with who she is. I'm sure there is more but suffice to say, she is a successful example of this counseling. She is a true pleasure to be around. Thanks to this auditing technique and to Anita who had to be on her toes, especially in the beginning." KJ
The daughter says, "Before I got auditing, I was not doing good in school and now I am doing very good in school. I do not fight with my sister and the days when I was not doing auditing I was fighting a little bit but then one day I was not fighting for two weeks. I'm feeling really happy because I got auditing and my auditor is very nice." AJ
Success Story from a 15 year old boy: "Through the auditing that I have had here it has made me realize that I am the only person who controls my life. And it's very funny to me because it seems like I should have already known that I am in complete control of my life." DM
Mom, before: "Grades low, doesn't like to study, doesn't seem to care about her future, always on the computer while she is home, unsociable with the family, doesn't like to go anywhere with us." SS
Mom, after: "We were ecstatic to find a very happy, and very talkative daughter. Upon arriving home, we started noticing little things. She had the door closed to her room at night--this was a first. She had always been afraid of the dark. I asked her about it the next morning and she said, 'Mom, I'm not afraid of the dark anymore.' Also, she started a new school here. She's been making new friends very quickly. She typically never really reached out, but appears to be doing so now. She even mentioned to me that I should be prepared to pay for college as she's planning on getting good grades!! Wow! I'm sure I'll have more to say later, but for now, we are noticing a dramatic improvement in her condition. Anita, we can't thank you enough for all your help!" SS
From the daughter: "During my stay in Florida, I've discovered the negative part of my mind. I'm more aware of how my mind really works. I've had realizations about many things, such as how to deal with religious and philosophical differences with my friends and how I can mend an upset. I've also learned a lot of things about how the mind works in general and that people sometimes just want to be able to complain once in a while. When I was in session, I would often think, 'why is she asking me this?' or 'what am I looking for?' but after a few minutes of going over the process, I'd start to think of things and get new ideas out if it and I'd start to have realizations and relief and it made me feel really good about myself." RS
Another 15 year old girl: "The summer of 2005 I came to visit my dad in Florida for a week. During that time I had 2 sessions with Anita, about 4 hours each. I realized so many things about myself, and I am so glad I took advantage of this opportunity. I realized how it is really important to believe in yourself and how each person is unique in their own way. I came out of both sessions with an unbelievable feeling. I felt like I could accomplish anything and no one could bring me down. It really made me feel good about myself. Auditing also showed me not to talk 'down' about myself. I used to criticize myself and wish I was thinner or prettier all the time. I was never satisfied with the way I was. I would compare myself to other girls, too. But through auditing, it has shown me to be happy with the way you are because you are so special. With each 'win' in session I realized more and more of what I was capable of achieving. Anita was a great auditor and made me feel really comfortable and welcome. It was a great experience, and I really enjoyed the process." SB
An 8 year old girl: "The auditing that I'm getting here is so fun and I feel so so good and so much better and things are happening so fast in session. I am having so much WINS in it. I REALLY LOVE IT. (draws big happy face)" MS
From the mom of a 14 year old: "Each day when I pick up my daughter after her session she has a smile on her face and seems very happy and serene. I used to have to tell her to do her school work several times before she would do it. Now when she gets home after session she gets right to her school work without any effort from me having to repeat myself. This is fantastic." GD
From the mom, then the dad, and then the 8 year old girl
Mom says, "Thank you so much. This is so fantastic. We see such a difference with our daughter at home. She seems so much more peaceful and happier. Her communication to us is great and her sense of responsibility has risen. She is doing beautifully and we're all very happy. Thank you!!" LG
Dad says, "I have observed a change in her confidence to be herself when around her friends and she is more tolerant of her sister." BG
Daughter draws on paper: "DEFINITELY BEFORE (draws sad face) DEFINITELY NOW (draws radiating happy face)." Then she writes, "I really feel like I have completed my auditing because now I feel much better about things than when I used to, when I didn't know a lot about auditing." RG
Mom of another 14 year old girl: "My daughter has gone through an extreme amount of abuse from living with her father. When she arrived back home she had no trust for anyone. She was always angry in her actions and voice. After a couple of intensive auditing sessions with Anita, we have seen a remarkable change. My daughter, who NEVER went to sleep without her bedroom door locked, now finds it not always necessary to lock her door. She has also recognized the process of fair exchange. Her bedroom--previously a total disaster--now she feels she needs to clean. Most important the anger she had (as her total personality) is now diminishing. She is laughing again. Even the cat thinks this is a strange sound coming from this girl! People she couldn't stand to look at, she is now willing to communicate with. I am so thankful for auditing. This is really the first experience I've had. Auditing is giving me back my beautiful daughter." BC
"When my oldest child was 4 years old, I had noticed that he was changing. He seemed to be angry with me more and more often, and sometimes he had quite a temper! I couldn't identify what had caused this change in behavior, so I wasn't able to address the source of the problem. We took him in for some light counseling, and I was blown away by the changes in him! My sweet little boy was back! All the anger he had for me had completely dissipated. He was full of love and his communication to me really opened up. I was so happy! And it took less than 10 hours in session! The auditing* was so light and affirming to him. He wasn't made wrong for his earlier troublesome behavior. Instead, the auditor* addressed him as a spiritual being, and the results were truly remarkable! He loved his auditing* so much that after his 3rd session he told me that he wanted to be an auditor* himself when he grew up. After his 4th session, he said he wanted to teach others to be auditors,* so that 'all the bad guys can be good.' I sensed a feeling of great relief in him. He was no longer at the effect of these negative impulses. My son is now a wonderful 9 year old boy. He is very loving to his entire family and he is one of my best friends. I have to say that this was one of the very best decisions I have ever made as a parent." JJ
