“My gift is to use my story to bring hope and healing to other women’s pain.”

The author of 4 books, Robin won an international book award for Grace Calls: Spiritual recovery after abandonment, addiction or abuse. As a life coach and Certified Trauma Professional, she has found “soul sisters” around the world by speaking about childhood abuse, love addiction and her husband’s past sexual addiction. Although she says this often causes “vulnerability hangovers,” it is worth it to help others heal. 

Robin resets through creating intuitive, mixed media art and Bible art journaling. A self-professed highly sensitive empath, she says camping, hiking, riding her bike or on her stand-up paddleboard “keep her young.” Her greatest joys include a recovered marriage of 40 years, her three adult children and two grandkids.
