A car accident after college that resulted in temporary paralysis and a traumatic brain injury changed the course of my life. After three years of intense therapies to regain the ability to walk, talk, read and write again, I embarked on a series of trainings and certifications that have allowed me to share with others what I learned through my trauma experience about transforming loss and pain into abundance and gratitude. In addition to being a HeartMath Resilience Advantage™ Workshop Trainer and Coach Mentor, I an trained in: grief support; suicide prevention, forgiveness facilitation; Franciscan studies; global trauma healing methods; mindfulness and mindfulness-based stress reduction. Since 2002, I have presented over 500+ workshops, talks and programs on over 100 subjects at a wide variety of universities, small and large businesses, churches, healthcare facilities, spiritual retreat and wellness centers, and more. My work has led me to work extensively with cancer patients and survivors; people dealing with issues of loss due to death, divorce, illness and chronic pain; people with trauma and PTSD related issues; adults age 60+; children of all ages; life-long learners; and more. I love helping to facilitate "AHA!" moments with private clients, groups and audiences; helping people realize that they can feel at home within their own bodies and at home and connected to others, the world and the God of their hearts makes my heart sing with joy.
