"When words of the heart are spoken in truth, the language of the Authentic Woman is understood. In true partnership where there is an experience of warmth, love and safety, women learn to fully express who they are, breaking out of the confines of others' expectations to uncover their own personal essence."
~ Marsha Lehman, a masterful mentor, passionate minister and fiercely loving life coach.

She is very comfortable leading and facilitating classes, retreats and gatherings both in person and through tele-bridging (conference calls). She appreciates intuitive magic that happens when distance disappears and connection is felt in new ways. She is the co-author of several books:

She co-created and founded the web site www.AuthenticWoman.com, which is an e-zine for women who want to take a few minutes to have a cup of tea and enjoy a bit of on-line feminine inspiration during their day.

On a personal note, Marsha has been married for 37 years to the same wonderful man and is the proud mother of two wise and intelligent daughters. She recently became a Grand Mother of an especially sweet little Ella Bella Grand Daughter. She lives in a co-housing community in Maryland (www.LibertyVillage.com) where consensus is practiced as a way of living together.

Nearing 60, she is using her wise elder-hood years to contribute her life experience to the world. She loves to learn and practice expressing her spiritual vibrancy in daily life and especially with women who want to change and grow while revealing who they really are and who want to lead our world into a "nurturing place that works for everyone".
