April 28 | Empowering Burn Survivors: A Holistic Approach to Health with Susan White
Susan White survived a house fire at just over a year old and became the fourth survivor of a pseudomonas infection at Parkland Burn Center in 1970. Growing up, she battled health issues, including frequent infections and allergies. In her thirties, she healed severe gut problems through whole food nutrition, inspiring her to become a certified health coach in 2011. Susan now helps others improve their well-being through six key areas: sleep, nutrition, hydration, movement, community, and stress resilience—along with gut and brain health tips. She’s also a web accessibility specialist based in Fort Worth, Texas, where she lives with her two kids and three pets. Her story is featured in Empowering Women Empower Women on Kindle.

At the beginning of each support group, basic ground rules will be shared to create a supportive setting. We also ask that everyone acknowledge understanding that this group is focused on peer support for burn survivors and their loved ones, and is not a substitute for local emotional support.
