A NOTE FROM BERNADETTE WINTERS BELL
My intention in this sacred work is to promote emotional healing, psychological growth and spiritual exploration while helping my audience to learn new coping mechanisms. My style as a podcaster, therapist (and human) is interactive, engaged and supportive.
I encourage all to allow themselves to evolve into empowered stewards of their own well-being.
Balancing life's tears and giggles is essential, challenging, and possible.
My experience in making presentations to many local and national organizations on topics ranging from grief, loss, and pre-bereavement may be helpful to your organization.
