introduction

Rev. Dr. Iyanla Vanzant Director Founder

Rev. Dr. Iyanla Vanzant is the New York Times #1 bestselling author six times, has authored seventeen books which have been translated into twenty-three languages, selling over 10 million copies collectively; four-­‐time NAACP Image Award recipient; three-­‐time Gracie Award winner, three-­‐time Honorary Degree recipient, and those are not the best ways to describe Iyanla Vanzant.
Mother, grandmother, good girlfriend, wise-­‐woman, life coach, spiritual teacher, soul technician, attorney, and “the fixer” are better but still, not quite right. Minister, prayer warrior, servant, cultural custodian and student of life are the words she would use because this captures the presence of her being and the essence of her soul…

If you’re a student of life…

Your presence here is a gift to me. It lets me know that I am on purpose as a teacher, and that I can be of service. Take a deep breath, and let it go because Mama Iyanla’s got you.

THERE’S A DISTINCTION BETWEEN GROWTH WORK AND HEALING WORK.

Growth work is about you learning how to manage and move through where you are, and what you have, in a different way.

Healing work is going back to uproot or to dig up the causes of certain habitual, unconscious, systemic behaviors and beliefs.

No matter where you are, my work is to see, feel, and fulfill you along your journey of self-discovery

 TO THE GREATEST EXPRESSION OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
