Elizabeth Thornhill is a trauma-informed mental health coach who specializes in neuroscience and how the brain drives behavior and lasting change. She is a Board Certified Mental Health Coach, a Master Mental Health Coach through the American Association of Christian Counselors, and has earned her ACC credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Her work focuses on helping women understand how past experiences shape brain function and the patterns that follow. As a survivor of childhood trauma, Elizabeth brings both professional expertise and personal insight into the healing process. She helps women break free from cycles of shame, self-sabotage, and emotional reactivity by teaching them how to rewire their thinking and regulate their responses at the source: the brain. Her approach integrates neuroscience, practical tools, and faith-based principles to create lasting, measurable change. Clients learn how their brain works, why they respond the way they do, and how to shift those patterns in a way that actually lasts. This work goes beyond coping and leads to real transformation. Through her coaching, writing, and speaking, Elizabeth challenges the belief that people are stuck. She teaches that the brain can change, the past does not have to define the future, and with the right tools, individuals can take ownership of their thoughts, behaviors, and outcomes. Her mission is to help women break out of limiting patterns and step into lives marked by intention, stability, and forward movement, fully equipped to pursue the goals and future they are capable of building.

Catherine Crestani is a voice in the evolving conversation around consciousness, inner authority, and embodied and conscious leadership. Her work bridges spirituality and psychology, empowering people to reconnect with their inner wisdom and translate spiritual insight into grounded personal transformation and authentic self-leadership.  With a background in allied health and entrepreneurship, Catherine spent years building and leading successful businesses, including expanding a six-figure company through partnership and later founding a second thriving venture. Despite external success, she felt called toward a deeper alignment with truth and self-trust. What followed was not reinvention, but remembrance — a dismantling of inherited expectations, identities, and conditioning in order to return to a more authentic way of living and leading.  Today, Catherine supports individuals through emotional, energetic, and spiritual transformation. Rather than prescribing who someone should become, her work creates space for people to rediscover who they already are beneath the noise of external narratives and survival patterns. As people reclaim their inner authority, they often find the courage to reshape their lives — stepping into aligned careers, leadership, and creative paths that reflect their true nature.  Her approach integrates intuitive insight with grounded emotional work, empowering people to move from awareness into embodied authority. Catherine writes and speaks on consciousness, healing, human potential, and the reclaiming of personal sovereignty. She is the host of the Willow Healing Matters podcast and the author of Pillars for Life: A Guide to Spiritual Ethics and Practice and the novel My Virtual Obsession. At the heart of her philosophy is a simple truth: when people remember who they truly are, everything in their lives begins to reorganise around that knowing.

Dr. Asha Martin – Bringing World-Class Cancer Care to the Caribbean As a medical oncologist and hematologist with over a decade of experience, my mission has always been clear: to deliver first-world cancer care in resource-limited settings. Born and raised in the Commonwealth of Dominica, my journey took me to Camagüey, Cuba, for my medical degree, where I learned the power of resilience and innovation. Later, at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica, I honed my expertise in hematology and oncology, deepening my passion for treating cancers such as breast, colon, and prostate cancer, as well as blood disorders like multiple myeloma and anemia. Since 2022, I’ve been practicing in St. Lucia, splitting my time between the island’s main public hospital and my private practice, Sabinea Rose Haem-Onc Services Ltd. My goal? To make specialized care accessible and easy to understand. That’s why I launched my website in 2025—to empower patients and caregivers with clear, reliable information. Now, as a contributor to this magazine, I’ll share insights on cancer prevention, treatment advances, and living well with chronic conditions—all in a way that’s easy to grasp. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or simply health-curious, join me as we navigate the complexities of cancer care together. Empowering your journey with knowledge and care.
