Lisa Salazar

Spiritual Health Practitioner, Author; Vancouver, BC, Canada

Lisa offers everything anyone could want from a person who is writing about faith and love: she is unflaggingly and rigorously honest. You won't find a writer more kind, sensitive, or just plain wise than Lisa Salazar. But her greatest gift, to my mind, is that, for all of that, she remains that rarest of birds among us; she just might be the last Purely Unpretentious Songbird of Truth any of us will ever be fortunate enough to hear.
