About the Author
Nancy Jonker, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and impassioned psychotherapist and coach. Her long-standing specialties include body/mind integration, physical/emotional health, and personal power for women. Nancy grew up as the middle child of six, with two older sisters, two younger sisters, and a younger brother. Growing up with so many girls sensitized her to the multiple challenges females face. Never satisfied with the status quo, Nancy searched for ways to break out of the mold of her small town. After finishing college, she set off to graduate school in Bowling Green, Ohio where she earned a PhD in clinical psychology. She completed her internship at Michigan State University where she first began her empowerment work with women. Additional training in neo-Reichian bodywork allowed Nancy to hone her skills in working with the whole person, body and mind, to effect change. Her work is now more efficient and fun as women learn to use their eyes, hands and feet to increase their personal power. In 2008, Nancy Jonker founded Integrative Healing Centre, LLC where she has offered body-centered, holistic therapy to individuals, couples, and groups. Nancy has personally used every strategy in this book--not only to write this book--but to build a business, raise two children, recover from marital setbacks, and transform from a "wanna be" powerful woman to a woman exuding competence, compassion and strength. Nancy currently offers retreats and workshops for women executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs interested in growing their personal power, becoming more effective leaders, improving their relationships, or up-leveling their businesses.
