Post-Trauma Growth & Thriving
Integrative Health & Wellness
Life shines when the brain, body & spirit heal.

Welcome!
I'm Lenore. I'm a Dr. of Social Work and a practitioner and researcher with expertise in post-trauma growth and thriving, and holistic, integrative health and wellness.
​​
My work is all about uniting neuroscience with spirituality to help people step fully into their higher purpose and a life of meaning and joy — especially after surviving the unfathomable.
I know this clientele inside and out.
Because I've been there myself.
In my work today, I use a grounded science-meets-spirit approach to help people process trauma, pain, and stuckness, and open up to a life of joy, emotional freedom, and intuitive connection. ​
​
My approach stems from a deep-seated personal journey beginning with the traumatic loss of my late husband, which prompted the unexpected awakening of my intuitive abilities.
This awakening opened my path of melding science with spirit to heal through profound trauma — and ultimately guided me to my life purpose: Bringing forth a melded scientific-plus-spiritual and intuitive approach to trauma healing, to help others find their way forward after profound pain, and align with their own light, purpose, and joy.

The aim of the Brain/Body Spirit for Post-Traumatic Growth Research Lab is to conduct original studies on the impacts of brain/body/spirit practices and experiences on trauma survivors' mental health, well-being, spiritual health, and livelihood, as well as their long-term growth, resilience, and expansion.

"Science and spirituality are not at odds. They actually work beautifully together, balancing and informing one another, if we only get curious and have an open mind."
