a little ABOUT lori
My Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Masters in Health Services Administration led to an excellent career in Process Improvement and Provider Relations Management. After a series of layoffs, I realized the career I loved and had worked so hard to build was no longer a reality.
Rather than pursue a dead end, I decided to recreate myself and enrolled in the Health and Wellness Coaching program at the Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH). Shortly after graduating from MUIH in 2015, I joined the International Coaching Federation (ICF), serving on the Membership and Communications Committees. I also joined the MUIH faculty in the Health and Wellness Coaching program, first as a teaching assistant and then as a mentor coach. In 2017, I was part of the first group of coaches to become nationally board certified by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). And in 2019, I earned the rank of adjunct faculty at MUIH as an instructor for the Foundations of Healthy Lifestyles course. In 2020, when the world turned its attention to the Coronavirus and living in quarantine, I knew I had to help others navigate the new landscape. When my colleague asked “Who wants to do a book collaboration with me,” I said, “Hell, yeah!” And now I'm a co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Self-Healing Techniques: 25 Home Practices & Tools for Peak Holistic Health & Wellness (Book 1). More specifically, I'm Chapter 4, "Showing Up: A Tool for Self-Acceptance and Love". And in 2021 I co-authored Find Your Voice, Save Your Life: Powerful Women, Real Stories (Book 1). You'll find me at Chapter 24, "Screaming Without Making a Sound". Please contact me to purchase autographed copies. Are you ready to show up in your life and thrive? let's TALK |
