Rita Desnoyers-Garcia has been helping people reach their potential for over 20 years.  After a long career as a social worker in New York City, while raising her family, she had a spiritual transformation.  That inspired her to pass along what she had learned and remembered to others, especially women and mothers. 

She started an organization called Meditating Mamas (now called Becoming Awake/The Meditating Mamas Project).  It focuses on helping those who are looking for more peace, abundance, power, and joy in their lives.  She feels that mothers, in particular, have a powerful role in shaping the planet.  When a mother feels connected to her true Abundant Self, she can change the world.

Rita is now a spiritual teacher, speaker, life coach, and author.  She lives with her husband and three children in New Jersey.
