How long have you been doing what you do and how did you become a
Health - Body-Mind & Soul Coach & Spiritual Mentor ?
I began learning, as we all do, in the classroom that is life. I began facing important challenges when I was 11 years old when our family moved from Canada to Australia. Although Australia is a beautiful country - with beautiful beaches, - I didn’t appreciate it. The sudden move stripped me from dear friends and put me into a state of emotional shock.
|
During my childhood and adolescence no one I knew talked about their feelings, emotions, or self-perception or had deep, personal conversations about any of it! My family tended to avoid what was back then, extremely uncomfortable subjects. It was that time in our cultural history (anytime between 1950’s - early 1990’s that I call the Emotional Dark Ages. So, when I was suddenly hit with a move to a strange country and hit with puberty, I felt completely overwhelmed and distraught, not to mention embarrassed and ashamed of my body. The sudden shift in my life, along with the fact I had no one to guide me through it since mother was emotionally unavailable left me devastated. I felt very lost and alone. I felt like I had lost a very important part of myself. AND, shortly afterward I developed chronic migraines & eczema and got my first pair of glasses. |
I was anxious and withdrawn, and honestly felt a sense of shame about myself I couldn’t quite name. As I got older, I used high prescription glasses and my migraines were common and excruciatingly painful and debilitating. They began with visual auras and white-hot ice picks of pain thrust their way into my head and left me numb on one side of my body and unable to speak with waves of nausea for 2-3 days until I threw up. All these symptoms were a part of who I was and lasted a good 10-20 years, until I started sifting through the layers of my personal reality and my personal coping patterns.
In my early twenties, against my fathers’ wishes, I traveled on an exchange program to live and work in India. Living and working in India completely changed the way I perceived myself and the Western culture I grew up in. I began an unstoppable inward journey and a deep healing process had begun.
During my flight home from India, my eczema flared up. As I sat in the plane anticipating my arrival home, I vigorously scratched my elbow folds. The skin was so fragile and soooo itchy I scratched my arms to the point of bleeding and within a day, one of the openings in my skin developed a large boil the size of a golf-ball and just as hard. I was told the boils were caused by a streptococcal blood infection and given a series of tests by infectious disease specialists to determine the cause. They were unable to offer any explanation. They said my immune system seemed normal and I would have to keep taking antibiotics for the rest of my life! ... I was stunned!
I was given several prescriptions for antibiotics, When I took them, the boil on the surface of my skin receded, only to be followed by another as soon as I finished taking the medicine. After several new boils and rounds of antibiotics I began searching for information to explain what was going on in my body.
At the time, I was unaware of the emotional upheaval within me and unaware that my physical symptoms had any relationship to it. However, somewhere along the way, I read a sentence in a book (can’t recall which one) about boils representing “long-held, repressed anger that began erupting through the surface” and in reading that passage, my whole body responded with an undeniable, YES! The feeling was so strong, it confirmed a deep truth within me.

The feeling was so strong, it confirmed a deep truth within me.
I began studying art therapy, journalling and having many dreams that rose up from my inner childs vault of forgotten traumas. Eventually, I refused the last antibiotics prescribed for me and haven’t had a boil since. The healing went deeper. I stopped having issues with eczema all together, and it had been a lifetime chronic issue. At the same time, I sought a reduced prescription for my glasses and began improving my eyesight.
Needless to say, during my own healing and search for answers, I found traditional 'therapies' inadequate. I was led to complete a Masters degree in Spirituality & Mind-Body Medicine. Prior to that, I studied art-therapy, was a professional artist and acrylic painting instructor. Blending these worlds led me to become a creative-spiritual process facilitator & healer.
The Creative-Spiritual Process of INside-OWT evolved intuitively with my life. Through writing my Masters Thesis I developed my knowledge through study of Quantum Physics, Spirituality and Art Therapy so I could integrate and put language to what I had learned. As I explored my childhood, teen years, relationships and emotional and spiritual conflicts through INside-OWT I was able to heal other physical and emotional symptoms including; my eyesight Myopia (Nearsightedness), Lichen Sclerosis (an Auto Immune Disorder) Back Pain, Irritable Bowel and precancerous cervical cells (Cervical Dysplasia)
INside-OWT is based on what I would call five fundamental rules or universal truths of Co-creation; Immerse, Notice, Own, Willingness to Play and Trust. It is a way of accessing the Universal Field of your awareness to access your inner wisdom or innate truths. It is there in the process of co-creation, in the universal field, that you will experience personal healing. INside-OWT is not something I created. It is a way of being that I observed as inherent and necessary to leading an expansive life. I simply put words to the rules or truths that I observed. INside-OWT is a simple and natural way to remember who you are at your spiritual core. Allowing yourself to be guided to live your life from the inside-out is natural and familiar. That is because the knowledge you need to heal and live your best life is present in every cell of your body and is speaking to you, you just have to re-learn how to listen deeply.
Since completing my degree I wrote an easy-to-read book: Soul-Side Out: Universal Laws to Healing and Living Your Best Life. Now I am dedicated to helping women navigate new and uncharted inner terrain when they are fed up with recurring mental or physical symptoms or find themselves in a health or life-crisis.

I’ve worked with many private clients, spoken in front of countless groups and am living my dream of working around the world developing a professional program teaching other coaches, counsellors and healers the simple, natural co-creative laws of INside-OWT. I created my signature Sick, & Tired NO MORE - 90 Days to Shed the Overwhelm, Move Beyond Fear and THRIVE ™ Program - a 5 step system to guide you back to your inner wisdom to discover that you are a powerful Co-Creator. All the answers you require lie within you. The program teaches you that your body is a divine conduit of truth and that illness, life circumstances and dis-ease are NOT maladaptations, but clever adaptations to show you the misalignment to your inner truth. Codependent relationships, soul-sucking jobs, sickness, migraines, chronic pain, anxiety, depression etc. are signs you need to listen deeply and purposefully to YOURSELF. As you move through the program, you will move beyond surface goals and dangerous trends of perfectionism, busy-ness and emotional numbness to identify your goals and move into your authentic life. |
Who are Your Clients?
I work with people just like you who are:
- Soul-seekers
- People who don’t accept the status quo just because someone tells them
- People who have a little gumption and courage to step into unchartered territory
- People who have shown they can lead and take risks
- People who know there is more than meets the eye than the surface of a symptom, but need some guidance identifying the subtleties of their underlying patterns
- People who want to learn about the emotional, energetic and spiritual patterns behind symptoms or circumstances in their life.
- People who have been frustrated by medical visits or appointments
- People who have tried different methods of psychology, counselling or EMDR without much success.
- People who have tried alternative treatments like chiropractic or massage or acupuncture for injuries or symptoms and are still suffering
- Women who have done a fair amount of self-development and are often Empaths or Intuitives, Artists, Shamans, Medicine Women, Professional Counsellors, Hypnotherapists, Coaches, Healers, Nurses, Massage Therapists or Reiki Practitioners.
What makes you different from other Mentors or Coaches?
|
I believe the most powerful knowledge to heal is within you, and as a Coach & Mentor, I guide you into having direct access to your inner wisdom. It is my passion, my gift and my lifes' purpose to teach this work. I guide YOU to YOU. You begin to trust your body as a conduit to your intuition and the spiritual wisdom you already know. You will no longer be afraid of your physical symptoms, emotions, of dreams or images you receive, you will trust the unknown and embrace becoming the powerful Co-Creator you are. As a Health - Body-Mind & Soul Coach & Spiritual Mentor, I understand that I am of service to you at a universal level of consciousness. Symptoms are a form of manifestation. When you come to understand why you have manifested them, the energetic reason for your symptoms disappears and there is a clear and undeniable shift that takes place that stops the need for your symptoms and replaces them with life-serving energy. If you experience anxiety, depression, eczema or other skin disorders, ulcers, recurring infections, irritable bowel, migraines, chronic fatigue, burn-out or fibromyalgia, chronic pain, back pain, cancer, or unexplained physical pains, you are likely running an energetic or emotional pattern that is not in alignment with your true nature, your authentic self and/or your spirit/soul's purpose. Your symptom has arisen to guide you to a deep inner truth. |
I work on taking your Inner wisdom and APPLY it to your daily life. Being a creative and Intuitive at heart, I had to become more practical and disciplined to get the most out of life. So I have a good idea of the dedication and work it takes to apply and implement what you know into daily habits. It did not come easy to me and I don’t pretend to hide it.
I’m concerned with how to learn INside-OWT and get the degree of insight and healing your program offers.
First. Let me assure you, you don’t learn INside-OWT - it is a natural process you remember. It is a universal Self-Healing process you already know at the core of your being and as a Mentor, I act as your guide to access the process, but you can expect to gain tools to be able to do it on your own over time. As your Coach, I always tell you the truth and give you insight as to how you stand in your own way to accessing your truth - I will always guide you back to remain heart-centred and tell you when you have veered off back into old habits or beliefs out of fear or resistance. The whole purpose of INside-OWT is to teach you how to return to that place of knowing within yourself over-and over. All of the“symptoms” you experience are messengers, asking for your attention. The problem is that our Western, concrete-thinking based society does not equip us to understand the language of our inner selves. You will learn to access this inner language, understand and most importantly, trust it.
What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?
Sick, & Tired NO MORE - 90 Days to Re-Discover your Inner Magic, Trust Your Intuition and HEAL™was created for people who are absolutely excited and dead serious about living an authentic life of purpose without being sick, exhausted or bored most of the time. It’s about surrendering your life to a higher purpose, embracing your spiritual gifts and intuition. It’s for people who want to take the challenging life events and breakdowns and choose a path that allows them to receive the magical gifts their soul has to offer them. I say magic, because it is magic. You can never anticipate the remarkable insights, knowledge and gifts that await you.
The programs within Body-Mind-Soul Coaching were created for you to put new inner tools in place within a few months (sometimes weeks!), which will eventually lead you to feeling more energy, self confidence, and an ability to face challenges with new perspectives and tools. It means not running around beating yourself up saying: “I wish I wasn’t sick all the time”, “I wish I had more energy”, “I wish I made more money”, “I wish my dishes did themselves”, “I wish so and so supported me more”. You will learn to be fearlessly accountable. Your power will come from the inside.
Being a powerful professional woman and soul-searcher myself, I work best with other powerful professional women & Soul-Searchers who are committed to their success. They are super-ready to get going and just want to know exactly what steps to take. They are willing to show courage to identify the emotional, energetic or generational patterns that no longer work and be shown how to create new ones.

For what type of professionals are your programs NOT going to work?
Please know I’m very selective in who I work with choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren’t suited for my programs and won’t get the results for which they signed up for. (It wouldn’t be fair to them.) Whole-Body-Mind-Soul Programs are NOT for those who have no money coming in and are absolutely financially desperate, at least not right away. It is also not for people who need to work full-time i.e.) 30 hours or more a week and are unable to take sick leave or sabbatical to be serious about their life-changes. It is also not ideal for mothers with really young children and little support. That's because when we are so outer-directed, doing others work, taking care of others or pleasing others we don’t have enough energy or time to consider our needs to make the deep and lasting changes necessary.
It’s been my experience that people in financial crisis or full-time work/care-for-others mode do not trust the recommendations I give them and do not do the work (probably because they spend so much time worrying about others or about where they are going to get next month’s rent or mortgage payment.) If you fall within this category, it’s absolutely OK. We’ve all been in times of financial crisis or at a place where we need to provide or give to others at one point or another.
Do yourself (2-3) favours from this list:
These free (or low investment) information will get you started towards your goals until you’re ready to work with me or one of our coaches one-on-one in a focused program. Doing these things will really help you get primed for our work. When you’re ready, call me and we’ll get you started. (I’m in no rush and will be here when you need me.)
Another type of personality I won’t work with (without exception) are the whiners or chronic skeptic, as well as individuals who constantly make excuses for not getting their assignments done.

Do yourself (2-3) favours from this list:
- Get some money coming in - with a full-time or part-time job or make arrangements to lower your expenses and stressors and then call me. This will take the edge off and provide a little more peace of mind. Mostly, it will de-clutter your mind enough to focus on your assignments and the BIG picture.
- If you are a full-time care-giver of young children or an aging parent, find a way of getting the support you need to turn some attention toward your self-care.

What exactly is the Sick and Tired NO MORE- 90 Days to Re-Discover your Inner Magic, Trust your Intuition & HEAL™ system and what does it include?
- This program utilizes I.N.side-O.W.T as the primary gateway to releasing the energetic & emotional patterns underlying mental and/or physical symptoms. The program teaches fundamental universal principles that govern healing. You will be immersed in the realm of your soul to uncover the meaning of your symptoms. You will learn to build and trust your internal resources: Imagery, Intuition, Inner Vision & Inner Knowing.
- The companion book: Soul-Side Out Universal Laws to Healing and Living Your Best Life will assist you in getting the most out of the program.
- Three 75-90 minute private mentorship sessions/month
- Two Twenty minute anything-at-any-time calls
- Unlimited text/(voice Memo) support.
- Vision & Eyeglass Support -You will have support with managing your eyeglass prescriptions and how they relate to your changing perceptions of yourself and life. You will be given eye-exercises and help navigating eye exams to save your eyes and your pocket book from increasingly higher prescriptions. With reduced (transition) lenses and inner work, you will lower the stress & strain on your visual-nervous system and see improvements in your eyesight.
STEP 1. See through the Crisis/Identify Your Goals. During the first phase you'll choose 3 specific goals or starting points of transformation. These become your compass which will get you through the 'crisis' or main health concern. You will begin to embrace the themes and messages of your emotional, spiritual or physical health concern through reading, video and private sessions in INside-OWT.
STEP 2. Gain Awareness After the initial crisis or reason for entering the program is resolved or improving, often the goals or ideas clients came into the program shift to a deeper level. You’ll become aware of primary unconscious triggers/stressors/themes & spiritual lessons, identify coping patterns and beliefs. Embrace the idea of being able to co-create life with the Universe/Creator/Source/Life Force.
STEP 3. Experience Insight, Develop Trust & Heal in your Intuition using INside-OWT through 3 private guided sessions/month with a Mentor. Breakthroughs and major insights often occur which resolve physical health issues such as chronic pain, migraines or infections or they become less frequent. Learn how to identify future triggers and resolve them yourself.
STEP 4. Implementation: Implement the insights!. Become empowered to make 'positive' life changes and set new goals that reflect your unique life path or situation and begin to THRIVE as you accept, honour and trust surrendering to a higher purpose.
STEP 5. Identify your progress & review your success. In the final days of the program we look at how far you have come and look at what’s next. We help you set reminders for how to stay on track - setting and scheduling milestones and reminders to yourself and invite you to join one of our Mastermind Groups for ongoing friendship and Soul-Sister support.
BONUS: Improved Eyesight During the program often clients with prescription lenses start to feel their glasses are too strong and 'annoying' or clients become more aware of strain or headaches. A side benefit of this program is improved vision. Having improved her own vision significantly, she can guide you to do the same. Summer is able to help clients reduce their prescriptions to suit their visual life-style. She guides clients in how to relax their visual-nervous system so they have even greater access to their inner resources. (Full-strength glasses restrict access to brain information through the restriction of eye movements.)
What the heck is INside-OWT?
I.N.-O.W.T is an acronym for Universal guiding principles that govern healing from the Inside-Out.
INside-OWT is a simple and natural inner process that guides individuals to heal as they acknowledge and align with truths their body, mind, and soul are speaking.

Then feel free to email or call them and ask what they got from working with me and my programs.
How quickly can I expect results?
That depends on how quickly you can make inner shifts. Some clients are ready to go and heal quickly from their symptoms or life circumstances in a very short time frame, sometimes even a few weeks while others have a bit more work to do first. It also depends on if they are transitioning in a job, if they are involved in medical procedures or if there are added stressors such as family deaths, separations or divorces.
How can I guarantee I will get clarity and transformation in record time?
Keep your schedule open for yourself (Don't over schedule yourself) and relax your expectations. I know that’s hard and often ironic…. but the soul does not work on a schedule like your ego or personality does. It has different rules. The kinder and slower you are the faster it works!
Listen to yourself. Be totally committed to acknowledging your fears and resistances when they arise and understand that this is a process that works if you take action and implement the steps. All my clients who diligently apply INside-OWT and take the Universal Laws to heart have tools and success for life at each stage and at each new opportunity or challenge.
Finally, practise humility and meekness. At any degree of accomplishment or education or even an ability to coach or heal others, we are always beginners. The existence of symptoms is an invitation to begin a new kind of training and embark on an adventure. Symptoms or difficult life circumstances are actually signs healing is already taking place, they are not an indication that you have failed, are an imposter or need to prove yourself. As you grow, each new situation you meet within yourself will be different and, at first, impossibly more obscure than the last. This is normal and to be expected. I am here to help you navigate and trust the unknown with new creative inner skills. Be open, willing to play and trust.

"I have spent many years with ear and throat infections that were treated with antibiotics.
About to return for another dose, I mentioned it to Summer. She guided me through the INOWT process that began with the pain in my ear. As I followed that energy, I found the courage to hear a truth that I hadn't wanted to hear. I also found the courage to say what needed to be said to my Dad. The pain stopped the next day. From then on I have tried to listen extra carefully to myself. So far no more earaches or infections!" Jo Grant - Calgary |

Summer feels an urgent calling to help people adopt a more conscious approach to health. She believes treating the body in separate parts or as separate from the mind and spirit creates long lasting trauma and prevents our evolution.
Summer is the author of Soul-Side Out Universal Laws to Healing and Living Your Best Life. She believes there is an urgent calling from universal consciousness away from the violent approach of ‘fighting’, masking, numbing or fixing symptoms to one of showing interest, curiosity and trust. She teaches soul searchers how to translate and trust messages from the body and how to directly apply them to their lives to heal and live authentic lives. Learning this process can be done in five steps and can be easily remembered by the acronym IN-OWT or INside-OWT. The 5-step INside-OWT process is based in universal laws and reflected in the ideas and principles of quantum science (See Chapter 6) |

Testimonials:
INOWT for Anxiety Disorders a testimonial by Maggie Tate"I came into my first INOWT workshop hoping that it would be a fit for me. Having been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, I have found being still and quiet was difficult and I have never achieved much with different kinds of meditation. Having had previous courses of cognitive behavioural therapy as well as year of medication for anxiety, I learned to get through life but always wondered if I would ever reach a point where the panic would go away.
The self-helaing aspect of INOWT brought about a major shift in the way that I experience and react to anxiety. Allowing my mind to explore what came forth was amazingly freeing. I came out of that first workshop knowing that I had found the core of my panic attacks. During my process, I spontaneously recalled an important memory which I immediately recognized as the beginning of my emotional disorder. I observed the feeling of panic in the memory, and understood why I continued to feel that anxiety as I grew up. The neat thing about this experience is that I did not expect to uncover that memory and I did not realize what an emotional impact it had on me. By allowing my mind to follow what was in my present awareness, it led me to exactly the issue I needed and wanted to deal with, without me consciously guiding myself there! I have learned to embrace the anxiety and understand why I am feeling it rather than trying to fight it. INOWT has given me the ability to work with aspects of myself that I was judging and avoiding. I have learned that these "bad" elements, such as a panic are not bad, they just need to be understood. What has come with this is understanding and a feeling of inner strength and I no longer fear a panic attack. I have learned to embrace the anxiety and understand why I am feeling it rather than trying to fight it. I can now observe my anxiety rather than judge or push it away which allows me to understand what I need when it arises. I would not have this ability without learning INOWT. I came from a state of almost daily panic attacks to one every couple of weeks. With recognition of why I am feeling the panic, it dissolves almost immediately because I am not fighting it. In fact, I have learned to understand it as trying to protect me. I believe that as I continue to work with INOWT, I will be relieved of my anxiety, something that medication and cognitive therapy were not able to achieve for me. Finally because INOWT teaches one- or rather gives permission to listen to ones inner self, my intuition has returned! Maggie Tate - Edmonton INOWT for Vision ConditionsI approached Summer (Natural Vision School) after two years of feeling that my left eye was not working. I was also near the point of emotional breakdown.
I grew up with a condition called Amblyopia (lazy eye) and it was reappearing in my adult life. I also had constant tension around that eye and was having trouble with reading. Since my optometrist offered no advice except to say I was “aging,” my friend mentioned Summer to me. My friend had taken her son to see Summer and he had been greatly helped with eye tracking and migraine headaches. Through Summer, I learned that trouble with eyesight can be a result of stress and emotional trauma, which fit the timeline both for my childhood vision troubles and the recent onset of other symptoms. She indicated her INside-OWT program would be appropriate for me and we began to work with some inner work that dealt with the trauma I had experienced alongside gentle, eye muscle training (tools and exercises). Through her, I have learned to listen to and trust what my body and inner self have to say. I feel at home in my own body and life. My eye very quickly strengthened, and I can see with both vision fields and wear glasses less. I also wear a lower prescription that I had originally. The tension around my eye is gone. I found Summer to be knowledgeable, authentic, and so warmly compassionate and supportive as she guided me in learning to trust and listen to my inner self. I found this to be a healing and empowering process which has influenced my view of physical symptoms and why people have them. I feel that anyone who has been recently diagnosed with vision changes, feeling emotionally fragile or experiencing other symptoms that physicians cannot explain or dismiss would do well to consult with Summer. Naomi R., Edmonton, INOWT is a "crucial tool, fully worthy of the investment" testimonial by Amanda Buda Braun - Edmonton."After many years of trying various self help techniques, programs and therapies for healing and seeking purposes, none of them really seeming to stick or getting me anywhere that felt substantial, I had the feeling that the INOWT would be very different. I was correct.
What caught my attention about it was that seemed to suggest taking me deeper into my self rather than endlessly chasing results in the outer world as though on a hamster wheel. I was also drawn to its seeming neutrality, being that there are many important people in my life of spiritual faiths I do not wish to offend, in addition due to my own need for a grounded, practical approach.. INOWT offered me everything I was seeking. The course was a highly supportive day of learning and practicing the technique. I felt genuine shifts that day that upon leaving had me feeling as though I was finally in touch with my self. Since then I have practiced it frequently. It is easy, and I am learning how my awarenesses sometimes show up as images, feelings, sequences of understandings and knowings, key memories of incidents that I had no idea were affecting my energy to the extent they were. In whatever form, the information will show up with just a bit of attention. I have made genuine shifts, that in the end were often quite simple and at times have literally made my whole being feel lighter afterward. As well I have had some interesting relief from physical symptoms. This technique is fully worthy of the investment not only for its own sake, but also for the fact that time, effort and money spent on less fruitful ventures can now be redirected. I look forward to using this crucial tool for the rest of my life." - Amanda Buda Braun, Edmonton INOWT for Life: a letter from Cherie Strong - March 2015"I'm writing to touch base with you. I've been feeling the time is right for me to reconnect with you and explore the INOWT once again. Of all the therapies I've experienced, my time working with you has been the most powerful, insightful and lasting. Needless to say, you and what I've learnt with you are often on my mind! Thank you so much." Cherie Strong - B.C.

INOWT for Spiritual Awareness, Anxiety and Depression"I have attended countless leadership seminars, motivational speeches, yoga workshops and read self-help books that ranges in the multitudes in order to feel reconnected to myself, my purpose and others. The messages I received from all the previous courses and methods I studied was that to be "good enough" I needed to do this, think that, put these habits into practice, imagine that if ... Although many had profound wisdoms, I still felt that in order to feel my own worth, I was expected to change, to be a better model of what I currently was.
After the intro course in INOWT, the message of how valuable I am, being who I am right here and now an that it IS good enough was a gift I received. INOWT has given me a profound experience of spiritual reconnection and a day-to-day inner tool that helps me navigate conflict and negative emotions. So much so I was able to wean myself off of medication for depression and anxiety. As I integrate INOWT into my life, I feel less out of control and less reactive when I am experience conflict and turmoil in my life. When I have "negative" emotions I use INOWT to feel it, accept it and move through it, knowing that I will come out on the other side with a better understanding of who I am and who I want to be. I am feeling more and more empowered and this has translated into many aspects of my life including my communications with my friends and family. I am understanding and more importantly, I am more able to act on this understanding of what I need, want and desire for myself because of INOWT. S.K. - Edmonton INOWT for Extreme Stress: A testimonial by Martin LinLove"My IN-OWT session helped me reconnect to parts of myself, particularly my eyes, that needed healing and attention during a very stressful time. The process was easy and revealing. It was something I could take home with me and duplicate in my own space. Summer provided patience and room for me and the process. She was open and willing to let whatever happened come in its own time. It's a process that best reflects the way healing occurs naturally. A worthwhile and deeply empowering experience. I found Summer a skillful and committed guide whom I could trust." Martin LinLove - Calgary
