Yolanda, a certified psychotherapist, life coach, author, speaker and teacher discusses how, in 1995 at the age of 15, her life was turned upside down when the Soufrière Hills volcano erupted on her home island of Montserrat, rendering it nearly uninhabitable. Two years later, with just two suitcases and the clothes on her back, she arrived with her family in the UK where she would spend the next decade as a self-described “ball of anxiety” who lacked the emotional support with which to share her deep childhood trauma. Her personal healing journey began when she had the courage to re-visit her pre-volcanic years and has since expanded into helping others to navigate their pain and trauma so that they, too, can live purposeful and abundant lives.Contact Us: Email: [email protected]: @brushcreekthriversFacebook: From Survivor to Thriver
