Fine, and she is a Lama approoved by the Dalai Lama ?
All lamas aren't "approved" by the Dalai Lama, they're approved of by
their lineage and via their training and realization. Typically this
means years of meditation experience, a rigorous series of preliminary
practices and a three year, 3 month retreat using highly advanced
techniques, at a minimum. An equally important high lama, the last
Karmapa, took an important role in Pema Chödrön's ordination.
