Our values and guiding principles are about what matter to us, represent who we are, and guide our life choices and actions. The following values guide Margaret in serving her clients.
Integrity
Margaret's guiding principles are based on the traditional values of hard work, commitment, loyalty, uncompromising quality, integrity, and a high standard of personal service and professionalism.
Partnership
Margaret works in partnership with her clients to best address their needs, goals, dreams, and values.
Her approach is holistic, thorough, and comprehensive in addressing her clients' financial and overall affairs, and thoughtful and sensitive in navigating the planning process with her clients.
Her independence enables her to properly represent her clients’ interests, provide objective and impartial advice, and gives her access to a wide array of non-proprietary products and services in order to customize wealth management and capital accumulation strategies for her clients.
Responsibility (ability to respond):
Service to clients
Margaret is available to guide her clients to best address their needs, goals, and dreams on an ongoing basis. She is mindful of how one’s needs may change over time as well as the variable nature of a financial plan as well as life plan and so provides ongoing reviews to monitor and update her clients’ planning and plans.
Commitment
Margaret is committed to serving her clients on an ongoing basis and making a positive difference in her clients’ lives, her greater community, and the world at large. She has developed a dream-mapping process and workbook to help clients manifest and live their dreams in alignment with their deepest values and life purpose. She hosts holistic community gatherings and is involved in evolutionary hubs to help evolve our consciousness and transform our world.
Kindness
In all things, kindness, thoughtfulness, consideration, and compassion guide Margaret's actions.
Individual, Social, and Environmental Consciousness
Margaret recognizes our interconnectedness and thus is mindful of how our choices impact one another and the world in which we live.
She therefore is interested in contributing to the Social Responsibility and Sustainability Movement in whatever ways she can and invites and encourages others to do the same in order to make a positive impact in our communities and the world at large based on honoring and respecting one another and the natural world.
One of the many important ways we could do this is through how we operate with and circulate our money. Our buying patterns and investment choices can make a substantial impact in influencing the future of our society and the planet. Fortunately, the opportunities to invest in alignment with our values have been undergoing a quantum shift. The universe of investment possibilities is ever-increasing as is the ability to apply mainstream investing principles to socially responsible portfolio management.
As you evaluate your own path and participation, Margaret offers the opportunity to incorporate how you invest your money with how you choose to make an impact in the world.

To help evolve our consciousness and transform our world, Margaret has developed a dream-mapping process and workbook to help clients manifest and live their dreams in alignment with their deepest values and life purpose. She also teaches on the topic of "prosperity and abundance consciousness", hosts holistic community gatherings, and is a founding member of Conscious Evolution Boston and Credit To The People evolutionary hubs.
Gratitude
What we appreciate appreciates. By practicing gratitude for the sacredness and richness of all of life that abounds all around us, we awaken ourselves to the miraculous gift of life and access the joy of its extraordinary journey. Practicing gratitude is also a gateway to attracting what we choose to create and manifest.
Abundance
Margaret believes we live in an abundant universe and the ability to manifest, attract, and experience abundance, prosperity, and well-being is available to all. In particular, she believes we experience abundance when we are living with presence, connecting to the flow of consciousness that guides us, aligning with our deepest values and life purpose, following our compass of joy, serving others, and living with trust, appreciation, and gratitude.
