Insight Savant, Founder of Intuita, Author of Ting! and Creator of Intuita MindWare
Here is my story on the origin of Intuita MindWare. It was completely unexpected.
It was a busy Saturday. At the time I was a solo parent with a bright active 2-year old. I was also a management professional with a high public accountability career in Toronto and a daily commute. Being a Saturday, there were many weekend chores to get done while my little one went for a nap. On this day, I was feeling very unwell and not at all like my normally healthy self. I felt like I had a full-blown flu – weak and nauseous, sore bones and muscles. I decided to take a nap instead.
As I lay down I felt a warm energy field, like a cloud, come over top of me. It hovered a few inches above my body and I could feel a radiant heat-like energy emanating from it. Then what seemed like a creative download began. I grabbed a notebook and began writing down important details. As a longtime meditator I was able to maintain a state of semi-conscious awareness and simultaneously sleep. After 2 hours, the energy field went away. My daughter woke up. I got up feeling completely healthy, well-rested, and very energized. It was as if I had just returned from a 2 week vacation, and I really needed one at the time. I was astonished at this change.
I reviewed some of my notes later that weekend. They seemed to be a set of intuitive processes, like mini shamanic journeys or vision-quests. I was curious but put them aside for the time being.
One week later at precisely the same time, I was getting ready to do power chores while my daughter napped. As I passed my room, laundry basket in hand, I suddenly felt weak and faint. I grasped the door jamb, then clung to the walls until I made it to my bed where I collapsed on it. Immediately the energy field came over again. And another 2 hour download happened where I simultaneously wrote and napped in a semi-conscious state. At the end an inner voice said “you’ve got everything you need. Now go teach”
My sense was that these processes and the approach, if it worked, could help a lot of people. Creating this product was the beginning of Intuita MindWare.
Then I began to test it, first on myself, then with others.
Intuita was born in 1996 with the launch Intuita MindWare in a self-directed coaching format and a live training workshop for professionals and organizations.
More about me:
As a child I always had one foot in both worlds, the spirit/mystical dimension beyond the material and consensus-based reality, ie the external world that most inhabit. I discovered early, much to my amazement, that others didn’t share my perceptions, the inner knowing which was so obvious to me, and it bothered them a lot when I shared them. So, for the most part I learned to keep these insights to myself
I also had a curious creative mind. As a child I built an imaginary creative lab in between the blocks of my bedroom walls where I could create anything, including worlds of my imagination. I was also interested in science.My management career in a complex technical organization involving health, science, law and engineering was very successful. There I got the privilege of observing thousands of different industrial processes in every sector. Because of my ability to solve complex problems and results, I played a successful role in innovation and change management.On the side, I also taught classes on meditation and intuition, and did some coaching with them. It wasn’t unusual for me to occasionally enter and observe the meditation of my students to guide them around their inner obstacles.
A trained medium, I also taught development for Spiritualist mediums. But I tired of the politics and decided that wasn’t the way I wanted to use my creative energy. I later became a member of the Global Intuition Network, an invite-only affiliation of leading intuition specialists across various fields. Given my background, my specialty was intuition in business and innovation.
I remained curious about the implicit side of innovation. I wanted to explore the juncture where creativity meets consciousness and learn more about how we influence that as individual creators and how to better develop that ability.
The universe is always at play, in continual motion, with energy freely available to us. And here we are living in a thin-slice of materialistic thinking trying to convince ourselves that logic rules. Higher order creation looks absurd by comparison. But it makes perfect sense when we look from an integrated whole with clear intuition. Leading ourselves more deeply into this framework is an intriguing and valuable discovery journey.My work on the fuzzy front end of innovation is what makes it unique in the innovation field. I help teams develop a whole innovation mind-set by helping them experience direct insight.
My goal is to better illuminate the path from the genesis of idea to creating something. The key is in experiencing the kind of personal transformation that fully connects our relationship with mind, heart and matter. This arises from the implicit authority of our authenticity. Our learning commences on a direct personal level. This is what drives the path from insight, ideas and imagination to reality.Arupa is a Sanskrit word that means “beyond form” and “transcendent vision beyond the third dimension.” It is my soul name. I knew from the time I was a child that I would have a different name as an adult and it would be my true name.
My lifelong passion for the creative process has led to a personal quest to find an explanation that better reflects the true nature of our relationship with the creative universe.
In 2007 I released my first book Ting! A Surprising Way to Listen to Intuition & Do Business Better. Training Magazine US reviewed it and gave Ting! a 4-star rating, their highest.
Just before 2018 I released the newly rewritten deeper edition of Ting! The Surprising Power of Intuition to Transform Work and Innovate where I took the story deeper.
As a corporate consultant and learning expert I have over 2 decades of experience in management, leadership and organizational learning. My 150+ publication articles have been published in leading business, management, HR & training publications. I also had 2 papers published in peer reviewed academic journals.
In 2009 during the automotive industry debt crisis, I was called to lead the opening presentation of the Innovation Panel at the World Automotive Congress. There I shared my personal insights on a new age of innovation in the auto industry, including smart vehicles. These were dark days as the industry was facing an uncertain future. Many of the insights I shared have now become realities.
THE INTUITA STORY
After testing the processes on myself and in coaching sessions and corporate workshop I developed Intuita’s first product – an insight tool called Intuita MindWare.
The results were impressive. In a limited series of 15 minute one-on-one coaching sessions, experienced vividly transformative and life-changing insights.
After this I launched an intuition training workshop for professionals in both public and corporate training sessions and a self-directed learning program. The workshops enabled participants to access rapid insights with minimal training. The results of the training session demonstrated a user success rate of nearly 100% for both men and women. They were able to use Intuita MindWare to generate valuable insights for themselves and for work related problem solving. Early participants included engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, marketers, managers, IT professionals and other related decision makers and influencers.
Intuita MindWare is now available an on line learning format called Intuitive MindWare here

“There is no dis-ease worse than forsaking your creative legacy and living a purposeless life – a life that is not worthy of who you are. Yet this is what many are doing today, caught up in the hamster wheel of yesterday’s limited model of capitalism. A new model is evolving, led by people and organizations that engage creative transformation with the heart of a greater purpose.”
“We must now move from success to significance to be happy. Success is a path to achievement. Significance is a life. Though we are driven to seek success, the pain of insignificance is much greater.”
