Who is Vicki Kallman? Vicki is a mother of three wonderful grown children. She has 2 totally perfect grandchildren. She has been married to her husband and best friend, Rod, for 35 years. She refers to herself as an Air Force Brat because she was born on an Air Force Base, married on an Air Force Base and had all of her children on Air Force Bases all over the world. After serving 20 years, Rod retired from the Air Force and is currently a pilot for Federal Express. She has lived in nine states and two foreign countries, Korea and Germany. She now resides in Las Vegas, NV. She loves to travel and experience new places and cultures.
Supporting people to become healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually has been a reoccurring theme in her life. In the 80′s, Vicki became a Jazzercise Instructor and owned two Jazzercise Franchises one in Las Vegas and one in Germany. In 2000, she trained with Sedona Training Associates in Sedona, AZ and became a certified facilitator. She organized and taught The Sedona Method weekend seminars in Las Vegas until January 2004. The Sedona Method is a simple and safe technique to help people release their negative emotional energy for happiness and success in their lives.
She is a self-proclaimed Joyologist! She is also the owner of Joyful Zen. In December 2003, she became a Reiki Master Teacher. Reiki is a type of energy healing that supports one’s overall physical, emotional, and mental health. She is also an intuitive and a personal life coach. She has helped her clients reach the personal and business goals they have set for themselves. In the fall of 2009, she created her own “Heart Path for Life”Workshops.
Vicki’s life experiences have made it possible for her to find her life’s purpose, which is to share her message of “Love for Peace in Ourselves and in Our World”- Hate isn’t working! In other words, Love is the Answer to all life’s so-called problems. In her many workshops, she gives her students tools to love themselves and others. We first need to love ourselves and stop the wars that are raging inside of us. Once we have accomplished that -we can learn to love our neighbors and then stop the wars on our planet. When we have peace in our own lives, only then, can we support the world in having peace.
Since 2000, Vicki has been an active member of Toastmasters International (the world’s leading communication and leadership program). She has competed in many Toastmasters speech contests. She has been awarded the “Spark Plug of the Year for 2002″, “Toastmaster of the Year Award for 2003, 2008, and 2009″, and the “Jerry Theo Behind the Scenes Award for 2004″ for her Toastmasters Division in Las Vegas. In 2009, she was awarded highest Toastmaster award, the Distinguished Toastmaster Award. Vicki gets great joy out of supporting others in finding their own voice and truth.
