Conscious Bookkeeping is for anyone who would like to integrate their relationship with money into all aspects of their lives. It is for people who have been afraid of money matters or who go unconscious when the word "bookkeeping" or "budget" is mentioned. It is for those who would like to become more financially literate and for those who would like to align their values with a financial practice for personal and business finances. Conscious Bookkeeping is also for those who would like to understand their money history; to recognize the patterns which have been passed down in their families, to see how it is affecting them today and to help make better decisions for the future.
