Beyond Words: Making Connections That Count

About the Author: PJ Victor

Raised in Naples, Florida, PJ started acting, modeling, singing, writing, and speaking on stage at an early age, starting with commercials and plays in Elementary school.
After experiencing her first yoga class over 20 years ago at a shelter for abused women and children, PJ vowed to give back by becoming a certified yoga teacher so she could volunteer to help others learn to have peace within using their own breath. PJ has been teaching groups and private yoga classes since 2017. PJ is also a certified mindfulness meditation teacher and a certified master hypnotherapist.
Her focus on health and wellness and inspiring others with her public speaking and writing is driven by her own recovery from a closed brain injury in 1999 and the loss of an unborn child as a result of the October 1, 2017, shooting in Las Vegas. As a survivor of October 1, she has worked to help other survivors use meditation and hypnotherapy to heal. As a mother, she also loves to homeschool and teach her children and others to maintain presence and peace through self-regulation techniques that are essential components to getting mentally and physically unstuck.
PJ continues to act, coach, speak, teach, train, and write as she supports animal rights and child advocacy, as well as educate and inform others about the dangers of human trafficking.
