TESTIMONIALS

“Rita was my first principles teacher. She was the one to introduce me to Syd Banks 35+ years ago. …I am not sure what I would have heard without her patient and compassionate guidance. …Rita is still guiding with the same feeling and an even deeper understanding of the wisdom within. She has a special blend of insight, humor, and down-to-earth common sense. Take every opportunity to listen and learn from Rita.”

“…Rita always speaks truth in a solid and incredibly moving way! Rita has walked this path with joy, humility, determination, and, more than anything lives, in service. I treasure the webinars she has recorded and especially those for the “Educators Living in the Joy of Gratitude” year-long series.”

“I first met Dr. Rita Shuford after my wife and I were referred to her by our PCP. After we finished counseling sessions with her, I became her student intern and began studying the principles at a deeper level, while learning to become a principles-based practitioner. Rita has undoubtedly changed my life through her empathy, love, compassion, wisdom, and breadth of insight into the human experience. I am forever grateful to have had many relationships with this incredible human being – therapist, mentor, and friend.”

She seems to always understand what I am talking about and what I am struggling with but there is this grounded certainty in her gentle voice that has always pointed me in the right direction. And that direction never failed to deliver peace of mind and calmness…”

In those early days, she was a Mentor to me and I am proud to now have her as a dear friend and colleague. “For the 33 years that I have known her, presented with her, heard her present at national meetings, and read her writings, I have been impressed by the steadfastness she has demonstrated in sharing these groundbreaking Principles.”

I always feel calmer, happier, wiser and lighter after spending time speaking with her.

“ …I began to understand more of the Three Principles and am now able to see life through a more compassionate lens. I also feel I am more patient with my husband, myself and others as I remind myself of our separate realities. I feel calmer and now recognize the incredible power of living life knowing that it is moment to moment and that I have the ability to change negative feelings through my thoughts. Because of Dr. Shuford exposing my husband and I to the Three Principles, we are both now life-long students and are eager to continue gaining more insight into this understanding.”
