What makes a woman exceptional? Popular culture tells us that it’s how you look, what you wear, the career you have, the family you’ve raised or what others think of you. And yet, no new wardrobe, big promotion, radical makeover or praise can really make you feel exceptional. The moments when you have felt most exceptional, have been when you have energy, passion and purpose. Once our loving, non-judgmental teachers assist you in illuminating limiting beliefs and replacing them with enhancing ones, you will no longer feel disempowered, marginalized or unattractive.
No more trying to be what others think you should be … or fitting into others’ “should” boxes. Instead, you can gain profound self-knowledge of who you really are – and learn to embrace that. Isn’t that what you really want for yourself, … to know how to make your own life meaningful, rewarding, loving and joy-filled … no matter what others think or do. Experience the power possible in a circle of women gathered in a safe and nurturing environment: the Exceptional Woman program.

I had spent years struggling with self judgment, judgment of my body, yearning for a 'mother' to heal me. After this outstanding program, I have, for the first time ever, been able to feel my perfection, look in the mirror and see beauty, healed myself by taking in the comfort of being held, and have felt my own strength and power to direct my growth.

Exceptional Woman taught me for the first time in my life what being a woman is really all about. Not only am I now proud to be a woman, but I have the ability to express what is exceptional about being a woman with the tools to really show who I am and to love me as an exceptional woman!
- Roxanne Litherland, Administrative Assistant, South Africa
I soared to new heights. I learned more about myself and grew more in four days than I have in four years of therapy. I am especially appreciative to have learned that I am loveable exactly as I am and that I will be OK no matter what life brings.
- Stacy Berrin, Neuropsychologist, New York
In one week, I’m a totally different person. I can love everyone in my life now! And most important love myself. I even stopped smoking because I’m taking care of myself now. You will meet the most wonderful person here at the Option Institute --- yourself!!!
- Sylvia Gijsen, Office Manager, Netherlands
I came to Exceptional Woman grieving the loss of my son who is grown and off to college. I am leaving this week excited to develop and enjoy a new relationship with him and with myself. I am comfortable embracing change and looking forward to this next chapter of my life. I have tools to take with me that I will use for the rest of my life to create the most amazing life possible.
- Tiahna Skye, Manager NHI, California
Coming to Exceptional Woman was the best holiday for my soul. Instead of a quick fix, I came away with so much healing and re-discovered who I am and to love myself. What a great gift this course was for me.”

Special Note From Samahria Lyte Kaufman
"A program that allows you a safe place to explore your beliefs about yourself. With great laughter and fun activities you will come to a place of understanding why you do the things you do. A program that will help you make life changes you have only dreamed of."
Nicole Tanzi Mother / Teacher New York
"I realize clearly now that expressing myself and sharing my experiences and self judgments are my way to freeing myself, to creating the happiness I want in my life. This week has been perfect. I feel such gratitude to the Option Institute for continually being the love and acceptance you teach. Thank you. Thank you."
Shayu Talbot Community Service Worker Canada
"Being here has been a beautiful and powerful journey in learning about myself; accepting and loving myself. I’ve learned to uncover beliefs that held me back and to accept the ones I didn’t want to change. I’ve learned that there’s nothing wrong with me. Most important for me is that I can allow myself to receive love and anything that would come with that; and I have received lots of love here."
Patricia Rodriguez Son-Rise Mom, New York
"I am amazed at the transformations I have made in just five days. To really accept myself as I am, knowing I have the ability to change if I want, and accepting, non-judgmentally whatever I decide, is the biggest gift I could have given myself."
