Judy Pearson: Profile

Judy Pearson, professional speaker and author is started her career in an uncommon way. Born and raised in Northern California, graduated college and married during the Vietnam War. Judy was an ordinary house wife and mother of two teenagers when her life changed forever. In a post operative consultation her doctor dropped the news. "Tumor the size of a grapefruit, cancer in the 3rd degree and chemotherapy in two weeks," overwhelmed by these words she told the doctor, "my mind doesn't believe in chemotherapy." To which he replied, "Your mind has nothing to do with it, you must take chemotherapy."

Drawing a line in the sand, a pivotal decision was made to explore the world of natural health care. Scared yet determined, she acquainted herself with naturopaths, chiropractors, herbalist discovering everything from mega does of vitamins to coffee enemas. As Judy puts it, "I thought I couldn't set foot in a health food store unless I wore Birkenstocks and never shaved my legs. But I did it anyway."

Studying and implementing various self-help concepts: psychology, theology, eastern and western philosophy, martial arts, yoga and common sense healing practices such as humor and spiritual practice became a way of life. She was first introduced to Ki energy practices through Aikido training and is now a student of yoga and Qi Dao.

Judy learned first hand the value of living life light, communicating effectively, developing proactive qualities of an Unconquerable Spirit. Healthy for 20 years, she took to writing her first book, Healthy Mind Healthy Body: How to Stay Healthy and Overcome Illness (Awe Publishing (1994). Soon, invitations to speak and share her story followed. Speaking professionally for 12 years Judy is the author of numerous books, booklets and articles.

Her mission is to work with people who want to make a difference in the world.
