Deborah Kern is a health scientist who dares people to live in harmony with the wisdom of their bodies. This conviction was inspired by her pioneering research showing that mind / body integrated approaches to exercise are more effective at reducing anxiety than conventional approaches to exercise. This discovery stimulated Deb to go deeper. Formerly the Executive Director of Lifestyle Enrichment at the prestigious Lake Austin Spa Resort, Deb is an internationally acclaimed speaker on mind/body/spirit health. She is the author of “Everyday Wellness for Women” and co-author of “Create the Body Your Soul Desires: The Friendship Solution to Weight, Energy and Sexuality”. Her years of practice as a nurse, health educator, personal trainer, yoga and Nia teacher and yoga therapist have given her lifestyle insights not found in books. She has become very aware that when people live their lives disconnected from their bodies’ messages, they not only miss out on the wisdom of their bodies and opportunities to heal emotional issues, but they are also more likely to experience stress and dis-ease. When they pay attention and take action, “miraculous” changes can occur.
