About

Award-Winning Speaker & Author | Professional Caregiver & Patient Advocate | Counselor & Coach | Shepherdess | Coffee Enthusiast Let's start with a CONFESSION: I don't read the directions at Ikea. I just figure it out. I was called to be a fearless and faithful shepherdess - to fight for the less able, to change the way people experience hardship and adversity - to equip patients, parents, and providers with the knowledge and tools they need to heal, to advocate, and to live in a challenging world while pursuing the HARTT of Jesus. I fail a lot at Ikea, and a lot at this mission, but here's where I am so far: -- WROTE an internationally best-selling book to inspire caregivers of complex kiddos -- FOUNDED HARTT Coaching, speaking across the united states to organizations and groups -- BUILT the HARTT Barn - a Christ-centered community education center where I hold workshops, classes, and retreats to bless people who live challenging lives Here's where I am headed: -- DRAFTING the first of its kind study on pediatric medical trauma -- PURSUING accreditation as a Christian Mental Health Coach -- SIGHTS AIMED towards a Board Certification in Mental Health Coaching -- AUTHORING a publication "HELP > HURT" a guide for parents and providers of complex kids All while caregiving for two fragile folks and raising sheep.....I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me......and......coffee. ----- "The goal is not to merely survive.
