Claudia Nelson is a Certified Communication Counselor, started a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, International Association for Families (IAF) to create safer communities for families after hermother and sister were murdered in a robbery; she funded the association with her inheritance money and with the money she made from developing and running an extremely successful rehabilitation course in the courts for those with drinking and domestic abuse problems. One of the International Programs she did was with the Huichol Indians in the Sierra Madras who were loosing 1/3 of their babies due to a contaminated water supply. Claudia got the natives at Las Guayabas a clean water system and a small hospital and helped several other Huichol Villages in the area.  After losing her life savings in an International Ponzi scheme, she worked with victims, the courts, the IRS, the FBI and a deep throat informant for eight years until we had the con men in prison. Dirk Smillie, who wrote the article about the Ponzi scheme for Forbes magazine wrote,  “Claudia is the best gumshoe (detective) vigilante I have ever seen.”Claudia Nelson’s self-help articles have been published nationally and internationally. Claudia’s trainings are transformational.

There are several characteristics that separate Claudia from other business and personal consultants . . . she has an uncanny ability to get to the heart of the problem---quickly. She is painfully honest in her appraisal of your situation but always remains genuinely concerned. --Dr. Victor B. Cline, PsychologistClaudia Nelson weaves a true tale of tragedy and triumph, inspiring her reader with the knowledge that they can overcome, that hope and a beautiful future are in reach.  --Richard Paul Evans, #1 New York Times Best selling author of "The Christmas Box" and "The Walk"Your work has inspired many, especially me!  You are a heck of a sleuth. Claudia Nelson is the best gumshoe vigilante I have ever met . . . that rare investor who fought back with the same cunning and guile as the con men who victimized her. Others would have walked away---not Nelson. Her 8-year odyssey to bring a master con artist to justice is inspiring and ultimately satisfying. Along the way she corrals fellow fraud victims, the FBI, the Justice Department, and the IRS to see the case through. Nelson weaves religion, psychology, human potential and even quantum mechanics into a narrative that ultimately reveals the art of the con---and why we continue to let ourselves be deceived. --Dirk Smillie, Forbes magazine
