Turning Pain into Purpose

Enduring multiple serious health issues including breast cancer twice by the age of 42, high impact chronic pain, debilitating migraines, and depression, Eileen experienced the healthcare system up close many times. The care she received ranged from outstanding to unconscionable - and everything in between.

She’s now turning her pain into purpose.

By sharing her story, the stories of other patients, and the many lessons she’s learned with doctors, nurses, students who want to enter healthcare, and insurance executives, Eileen wants to elevate the attention and care given to all patients. She also works to empower patients to be their own best advocates for quality care by providing them with tangible and actionable tools that help them navigate the highly flawed healthcare and insurance systems.

In addition, Eileen shares her remarkable story of strength and resilience with executives. Using her own life as a cautionary tale and citing the latest research, she details the devastating impact of chronic stress and the early warning signs of imminent health issues. With her engaging keynotes and workshops, she helps executives:

• Reassess their values

• Reevaluate their top priorities

• Examine how their current lives are supporting or undermining them

• Start to realign their lives with their values and priorities

• Create work places that attract, engage, and retain top talent who want to live healthy, balanced, fulfilling lives
