This episode is about not only surviving, but thriving after a traumatic event. My guest, Jennifer Kauffman, was at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, waiting for her friend’s son to cross the finish line. A few moments later, 15 feet away, she heard a loud noise and screaming. She soon found out that the noise she heard was a bomb.
Ms. Kauffman was one of many people injured during the terrible events of that day. She ended up in the hospital, and eventually, against her doctor’s orders, discharged herself from the hospital. She decided that she wanted to heal naturally, and that’s exactly what she did! Through acupuncture, whole food nutrition, brain integration therapy, and other methods, she was not only able to heal physically from her injuries, but also emotionally, from the traumatic events of that fateful day. She is now thriving!
She was a guest author of Jack Canfield’s best-selling novel “Mastering the Art of Success,” where she wrote about her experience. Ms. Kauffman is also about to release her own book: “Shattered – The Boston Marathon I Never Wanted to Run and Did! The Journey of Healing Naturally.” This book is about moving beyond the struggles in your life, as well as healing from trauma naturally!
