About Roxanne
Roxanne initially entered William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri to pursue a degree in scientific research with a focus on molecular/microbiology. However, a medical and humanitarian service trip to Guatemala became a pivotal turning point in her journey and led her to shift her focus away from laboratory science to a vocation in which she could help others face-to-face. Roxanne studied abroad in Oxford during her junior year, and she was graduated from William Jewell College Summa Cum Laude, receiving significant recognition as one of Jewell's top students.
Roxanne continued her study and was graduated Summa Cum Laude from Midwestern Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri, where she earned a Master of Divinity degree, majoring in Pastoral Care and Counseling. While in seminary, Roxanne studied overseas in Israel and engaged in Clinical Pastoral Education at Health Midwest/Baptist Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. A licensed and ordained minister, Roxanne has worked respectfully and successfully in a variety of settings for the past 19 years among diverse people groups with many different belief systems, as well as those with no particular belief system. She honors the life and faith experience of each individual.
Roxanne's own excruciating, four-year journey to wellness through the dark wilderness of Major Clinical Depression led her to research and develop an intentional lifestyle that has kept her depression-free for over 9 years. She specializes in training individuals to support their mental, physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual wellness. Roxanne also provides excellent support for individuals dealing with grief and other life crises.
In 2009, Roxanne partnered with Kansas City wellness doctor Michelle Robin, D.C. to write a book, Wellness on a Shoestring, available for purchase later this year. Roxanne is now working on writing her own book in which she shares her devastating experience of clinical depression and the profound healing that followed.
Roxanne is in demand as a dynamic, motivational speaker and workshop leader for large and small groups. Find out more about what Roxanne is doing at Wellness Dimensions.
