DAVI President

Camille Thomas Ventrell is President of the professional development firm DAVI Consulting. She is an attorney, author, teacher, hypnotist, and trial skills coach. In her 28-year professional career, she has been a prosecutor, a small boutique firm civil trial lawyer, and a large firm litigator.

Ms. Ventrell is a powerful change agent. She is capable of assessing individual strategies that result in that feeling of being "stuck" and then guiding others to experience new perspectives and training individuals to function best in a given culture. She can assist individuals in identifying their training needs and then design a program to meet those needs, allowing all to focus specifically on the skills they need and want to develop.

Wait a minute . . . what?

Maybe you’re just curious about who I am, what it might be like to work with me.

Sure, you’ve read the descriptions of the services, and you’ve read the testimonials. And that only tells you part of what you're looking for. You already know you want to grow, move forward in your life. Maybe what you’re looking to find, now, is a guide - one who will hear your voice.

So, you might want to hear my voice. You’ve downloaded and listened to the guided trance “Heart Energy” (because, of course, it’s FREE, so why not, right?). Now you can recognize the sound of my physical voice, and you have a sense for how I approach healing.

But, who am I? I’m a lawyer, and a hypnotist, and a teacher, and a . . . On some level, these are just labels - ones that tend to limit the way I see my world of possibilities. So these days, I’m more apt to think of myself as someone who is exploring – things I can’t see . . . with my eyes . . . learning to “see” in new ways.
