Since the release of her first book, How to Avoid the Superwoman Complex: 12 Ways to Balance Mind, Body and Spirit in March 2015, Doctor Swiner has been speaking locally and nationally for organizations, groups, high schools and universities about stress management, health matters and self-care. Along with speaking and teaching, she added self-publishing consulting to her list of duties, as friends and colleagues around her became inspired to write and publish themselves.
