“All four clients whom I’ve sent haven’t had a drink since they returned,” Judge says. “I recognize that something different from normal is happening here. This somehow is another piece of the continuum.”

What amazes clients and professionals is Lenair’s accuracy in discussing current health concerns and even predicting future issues. When Judge accompanied a client to the center and sat in on a post-session wrapup in which Barry Chalfin Lenair took notes about the session, she says she was “thunderstruck by the things [Rhonda] said about the patient.” The details were so dead-on that she could conclude: “This wasn’t Madame Zorba at the county fair.”

“I think she is a special person; it’s almost like she’s not a person like you and me,” says Elaine Caskey, who traveled to New England from Texas to accompany her alcoholic sister to Lenair’s center. Caskey says she and her daughters were also helped by Lenair. “My drinking was getting to be a problem,” she says. “From the first day with Rhonda, I felt incredible, with lots of energy. It gave me a new lease on life.”
