Patricia J. Crane, Ph.D. . completed her doctorate at Claremont Graduate University in social psychology with a special focus on wellness programs at the workplace. During that time she administered a wellness program for 5 companies with a total of 6,000 employees and led numerous Stress Management programs, both for companies and as an instructor at a local university. Subsequently, she became an intern with a humanistic psychologist and completed 3,000 clinical hours and written exams to become a licensed clinical psychologist in California. In addition, Patricia has been privileged to study personally with best-selling author Louise Hay. They met when Louise was leading one week intensives. Patricia was then asked to join the Heal Your Life® staff for the intensives and later personally chosen by Louise to lead the powerful Love Yourself, Heal Your Life® workshop. Leading this workshop evolved into a worldwide training program for Heal Your Life® teachers, coaches, and trainers.
As a psychologist, Patricia has been interested in the similarity of some Positive Psychology techniques with the work of Louise Hay and how their application results in positive life changes for clients. She studied with Martin Seligman, credited with the development of Positive Psychology. Although no longer active as a psychologist in California, she continues training and coaching people in the mindset and skills they need to move forward in life.
Patricia’s own search for meaning started during a very stressful time in her life. She began practicing a simple meditation technique just to reduce stress and instead discovered a spiritual path and connection. Her mission became to to empower people worldwide with the inner resources and outer skills they need to achieve their dreams. She is the author of two books,
