One More Day with Tonya Anderson
Tonya Anderson is a mindfulness counselor, inspirational speaker and the founder of An Exquisite Life. She helps people using mindfulness and sacred therapies to resolve stress/trauma in their lives, and frees them to live a life with renewed joy, love and passion for life.
Tonya’s expertise is drawn from her life experience, clinical mental health counseling education and spiritual teachings. She assists her clients in navigating their stress symptoms to create healthier, more balanced lives, and relationships. Tonya’s philosophy is that a person can overcome stress/trauma in a natural, holistic way, respecting all support systems in place, or creating new ones.
She has been working with clients with PTSD since 2002, shortly after 9/11. She takes her clients from stress/ post trauma to a state of resiliency and beyond resiliency, in a peaceful, gentle way through her counseling and consultations. She facilitates retreats to allow her clients the time, luxury and sacred space to create the most effective therapeutic and restorative processes.
She uses a gentle therapy approach to allow her clients’ natural healing instincts to be restored and renewed. Fine tuning their internal guidance then leads them to their exquisite lives.
She is the author of “One More Day,” her memoir of overcoming suicidal ideations and renewing love, joy and passion in her life.

Life Changes with Diane Langley
Diane Langley is the author of “Life Changes…[image error]” a small book with enormous wisdom. Diane has been the principal of Langley Communications Corporation since 1995. She educates individuals, groups and companies on communication and transition challenges through reflective, interactive engagement. This includes more sensitive work with those experiencing loss and trauma.
In 2013, at the encouragement of friends, Diane compiled a series of newspaper columns she wrote into a book, “Life Changes…” Her mission is to help readers on their “healing path when life takes a curious change.”
Chapters focus on different messages, and although it is meant to be read chronologically, readers can start from any point, if the topic resonates.
Life Changes… on Diane’s AMAZON page [image error] [image error]
Quite often, people don’t know what to say when challenged in a time of transition. They lose their voice. They yearn to have a conversation with someone they trust. We know that life events and relationships can become very complicated, and pain can last for years. It’s a vulnerable place to experience. “Life Changes…” focuses on assisting in the healing process. The book is composed of 30 short chapters on various life transitions. “Life Changes…” validates the reader in a personal, conversational style and is inspirational in nature.
