FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
IN NEW BOOK, "JOURNEY OF HEALING," KATHY GRUVER, PhD -- NATURAL HEALTH EXPERT, AUTHOR AND SPEAKER -- REVEALS HER LIFELONG QUEST TOWARD HEALTH, SUCCESS AND WELL-BEING, AND OFFERS READERS IDEAS FOR THEIR OWN LIFE EXPLORATION
An "instructional autobiography," "Journey of Healing" is Author's Navigational Roadmap Through the Healing Arts and Life
Kathy Gruver, PhD, is known internationally for her speeches, talks, and expertise in natural health and stress. Her "Go for it" attitude lets her do daredevil sports from whitewater rafting to soaring on a trapeze. She's the consummate down-to-earth yet high-flying woman admired by many. While Gruver showed a gift for the healing arts and an active life even as a child, it took years of dedicated learning, questing and practice to become the inspiring expert she is today.
In her fifth book, just published, Gruver goes from bullied child in Pittsburgh to actress-dancer in Hollywood, through fascinating learning experiences in dozens of healing modalities, world travels, to working hands-on with the critically ill in her massage practice, and speaking in the U.S. and abroad.
"Journey of Healing: One Woman's Path to Healing Self and Others" is a revealing, often humorous, no-holds-barred look, at a woman's life and spiritual and intellectual growth, liberally sprinkled with anecdotes both heartwarming and heartbreaking. From the personal to the practical, Gruver shows the interested student detailed, step-by-step paths into the healing arts, including how to set up one's own business.
"I wanted to tell my story to help others discover their story," says Gruver. "To me it's all about choices. Choices in what you put into your mind and your body. We all have options. I'm here to help people find their way, their own journey."
Gruver's literal journey led her to such places as Stonehenge, the Pyramids, and flying trapeze; her journey toward self-acceptance was furthered as an artist's model and being stranded in a foreign country. While her journey may not be ours, it's there for us to savor and learn from and grow.
"Kathy Gruver's book is so engaging, I could not put it down. It is personally and professionally mesmerizing – an invitation to anyone seeking freedom of the human spirit to soar, stretch and heal. The author achieves this through her own personal journey and ups and downs, seeking her own inner truth, testing out multiple healing arts modalities, and sharing her knowledge, her wisdom, and her personal and professional experiences with anyone seeking this path of enlightenment. I could not stop learning from her or stop reading such engaging personal stories. This work is for anyone, lay and professionals alike."
