"HEART-CENTERED AND NUTURING! Creating trusting Christian environments that support women survivors of childhood molestation and incest navigate through their journey to wholeness and purpose.

Bernadette is an overcoming survivor of childhood molestation and incest. For many years she struggled with feelings of pain and shame, low self-esteem, rejection and abandonment. She determined not to remain a victim and allow these experiences to define her. Though she was not the blame for what happened she recognized she most certainly was responsible for her recovery.  Her journey to wholeness began more than 30 years ago through counseling, self-help and personal development but true recovery and restoration came as a result of her personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

She graduated from Christian Outreach Bible College and Seminary, Fayetteville, NC with a bachelor's degree in Religious Education.  She is a licensed minister through Covenant Ministries, International, Sayreville, NJ, a member of the Sarasota Academy of Christian Counseling, Sarasota, Florida, certified to administer the Arno Temperament Analysis Profile, and the author of her recently published work "Beauty for Ashes, From Pain and Shame to Purpose and Power.

She facilitates 10-week masterminds on both virtual and traditional meeting platforms and take the participants through a uniquely designed 6A Series program resulting in unparalleled transformation leading to a fuller, richer and more meaningful life.

She is currently completing John Maxwell's Certified Coach, Teacher, Trainer and Speaker program.
