Living with pain - and not going crazy

Living with pain - and not going crazy

I love working as consultant on multicultural competence, focusing on conflict and communication. However I do this while living with constant pain. Over the years I have learnt to accept physical pain, allowing me to live a rich and full life but in the presence of these pains. In coaching sessions with clients and friends I have started sharing my approach and shared how I live with pain and don't go crazy. The book will be available end of May. You can pre-order a copy here by dropping me a message or email.
