I don’t remember enough to give an overview of her teachings (beyond self-expression and fulfillment, which her students translate into egoism). If you are interested in something specific, please specify it and we can discuss it.
As a general rule, I say that every correct idea has a place in Judaism. An idea should not be discussed according to its place in Judaism, but only according to the question of whether it is correct or not. And I haven’t even talked about the question of what is “Judaism”? Rambam? The written Torah? The Gemara?
