About this Speaker

Junie Swadron is an author, playwright, psychotherapist, international speaker, workshop facilitator, and professional writing coach who has spent the last thirty years guiding thousands of students in writing and sharing their life stories. 

She sees the therapeutic process and the creative process as one. “It is about accessing a special place within us where serenity, love, courage, and truth reside. It is from this place that we begin to know our true spirit. It is from this place we begin to heal.”

What makes Junie’s approach to healing extraordinary is that she knows both sides of the couch. She was diagnosed with manic-depressive illness at age twenty and lived with its challenges for many years. On her own healing journey, Junie found writing to be her greatest ally. She has come out on the other side of her illness and her personal experiences have taught her resiliency and coping strategies for choosing health and wellness again and again. She now shares her success with her clients and students, helping them connect to their creativity and healing through the written word and other modalities.
