Years of misdiagnoses forced her to find alternative means of getting well. Now a writer and Intuitive Life Coach, Laura enjoys a full practice. From a woman once considered "permanently disabled," "If I Only Had a Brain Injury" is itself testament to the incredible resilience of human brain and spirit.

Synopsis: Unlike other books on healing from so-called Medical Mysteries," If I Only Had a Brain Injury" encourages readers to chart their own inspirational journeys. The book s structure follows The Wizard of Oz storyline (Dorothy s journey begins with a concussion), guiding readers to a yellow brick road through recovery.

A collection of personal examples, alternative treatments and spiritual growth exercises, this book also offers wisdom from thirteen contributors, including Robin Cohn (Vice President of New York State Brain Injury Association), Dr. William Padula (Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association), Dana Reeve, and Kay Strom.
