Empowering Her / Eileen Empowers

Through powerful and moving keynote speeches and interactive and engaging workshops, I share my very rocky health journey, the many lessons I’ve learned, and the harrowing challenges I’ve overcome including: - Being diagnosed with breast cancer twice by the age of 42 - Having 15 major surgeries as an adult including 10 in just 10 years - Enduring chronic back and leg pain for over 15 years - Managing opioid dependence for many years and the stigma associated with it - Suffering from debilitating migraines, including one that mimicked a stroke and paralyzed the left side of my body - Battling depression and PTSD I’ve encountered the very best and the very worst that health care offers - and everything in between. Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve been on a remarkable journey of healing and hope! I’ve been able to apply the latest research and techniques to heal from the inside out. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to share my insights on and techniques for: - Building resilience in the face of adversity that can feel relentless at times - Tapping into the healing power of the mind-body connection - Redeveloping trust in your body after serious illness - Leveraging my Pro Tips for Patients to better navigate and succeed in the complicated and daunting health care system - Prioritizing self care in our world of 24/7 demands - Turning your pain into your life’s purpose For events targeting medical professionals or students who want to enter healthcare, I also teach Case Studies about specific examples of patient care done with excellence and compassion as well as patient care that leaves much to be desired.
