The Art of Radical Self-Love

The First Steps to Healing & Wellbeing

The Art of Radical Self-Love provides a dynamic range of self empowerment tools that nourish the journey to wellness. This guide treats healing as it truly is, an “art” that flows with the patient as needs fluctuate and shift to the ever-changing circumstances despite today’s corporate-dictated healthcare system.

A nurse is someone who delivers direct patient care and acts as an advocate and health educator for patients and families. To most, this sounds like more than just tender loving care. To others, it may create fear causing them to struggle and ignore their inherent healing power of self-love. You see, most people don’t realize that a deep love for themselves is essential to the healing process . . . a most radical concept.

As a professional nurse for more than 30 years, Mary Joosten Lopata, RN, not only assisted with patient care, she also observed patients and wondered why the same treatment often resulted in vastly different outcomes. Then one day her perspective changed when she was unexpectedly stricken with illness. Mary now became the patient and her life was suddenly under the microscope.

Had Mary’s training as a Holistic nurse betrayed her? Or was she now learning to restore wellness from a new source? In The Art of Radical Self-Love, Mary Joosten Lopata shares her healing journey from the wisdom of a nurse and the heart of a vulnerable patient to someone with a life that now overflows with newfound self-love.
