— “My healing journey will continue beyond the efficacy of medical intervention, beyond what is common knowledge and expectation, because my body was created by God to heal itself.”
Valeria Teles interviews Donna Fado Ivery — the author of “Sleep, Pray, Heal: A Path to Wholeness & Well-Being.”
Donna Fado Ivery is an artist, spiritual leader, inspirational speaker, teacher, and writer. Her celebrated healing journey from a disabling head injury makes Donna a sought-after speaker. For seventeen years, Donna relied on opiates, a cane, and wheelchair to get around. Now she walks freely. With humor and humility, Donna shares a spiritual path to wholeness. Graduating with honors from the University of California at Davis and Boston University School of Theology, Donna pastored congregations in Northern California as an ordained minister. Called the most unreligious-religious person folks have ever met, she enjoys watching the sunrise, baking bread, and playing charades. She is married to the Reverend Dr. Hubert Ivery and they have two adult daughters.
Donna is author of the award-winning memoir, Sleep, Pray, Heal: A Path to Wholeness and Well-Being, creator of the Scarf of Tears: A Gift for the Healing Process of Grief, and owner of Adventures in Healing, a business dedicated to the art of healing. The upcoming audiobook of Sleep, Pray, Heal is made possible by a grant from the California Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Arts and Disability Center at the University of California Los Angeles, and will be available on Audible.
