The leader is an experienced keynote speaker and interactive retreat leader. She came to OA on January 19th, 1984, having hit rock bottom as a desperate and demoralized compulsive overeater. Since that time she has lost weight, but more important is the amazing life she now lives – thanks to the twelve steps and twelve traditions. She has a design for living that REALLY WORKS and she WORKS IT!
Registration opens May 1st!
