"We recently had Dr. Saundra present a day-long conference for faith community nurses, chaplains, social workers, counselors, physicians and Stephen Ministers. She was able to explore the holistic definition of brokenness in patients/clients and provide ways to authentically minister to them where they are in their life's journey. She is personable, genuine, Christ-like and a breath of fresh air. Our audience loved the continuing education and new ways to care for the whole person, as well as identify when they as caregivers may be broken. Dr. Saundra provided a morning workshop for women of all ages. The women worked through their own struggles with being a well woman and what God's wants for us as busy women in today's world. The women loved the event and stayed around for fellowship, sharing and praying together."
