I worked in the music business for twenty years starting as a personal assistant at The Beatles' Apple Corp Ltd. in London. I then toured as a personal assistant to the Rolling Stones and worked as a tour manager for George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Santana, Jennifer Warnes and Linda Ronstadt. I was co-owner of a tour promotion company in Frankfurt, Germany and traveled with Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins and Queen as a tour coordinator.
After living in Los Angeles, London and Frankfurt, I returned to Tucson in 1989 to raise my son. I began using hypnotherapy for my personal growth work in 1971, and studied for one year at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in L.A. in 1988 earning certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have practiced as a hypnotherapist in Los Angeles and Tucson.
In 1992 I began my journey towards a Bachelors degree and Masters degree in counseling which I obtained from Prescott College. I worked at an internationally known treatment center from 1995 until the end of 2006 as a marketing supervisor, workshop coordinator, adolescent counselor and adult counselor.
I am the author of "Miss O’Dell: My hard days and long nights with the Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and the women they loved" published by Touchstone Books, Simon and Schuster.
