When not working, Cornelia loves to play tennis, heli-ski, x-country ski, downhill ski, Randonne ski (you get the idea) or be in, under, or on the snow with her family and beloved dog, McKinley. She loves mountains and rivers, adores her friends, is grateful her husband has a wicked sense of humor which her daughter inherited, and enjoys making a mean salad, baking Jim Lahey’s famous No-Knead bread, sipping nettle or Lapsang Souchang tea, watching her daughter watch movies, hiking in the Alps, and, yes, facing a Zendo wall for long periods of meditation.

She is sometimes asked how she’s come to know what she knows. The answer is more than what’s below, but the following list offers some measure of the scope and depth of her more than twenty years of professional development training.
