About Dr. Smull's Work

Christiane Northrup, MD (author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause) "Healing Eve is so important for women who have been raised with rigid, dogmatic beliefs about spirituality. The stories of women who have recovered their authentic spirituality are deeply moving. Given the seamless link between our beliefs and our state of health, I’m certain that the information in Healing Eve could save lives. "

 

 

Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. (co-author of "The Mythic Path" and "Personal Mythology") "'Healing Eve' tells several women's stories about how they were wounded by fundamentalist religious upbringings and how their liberation led to lives filled with joy, freedom, and empowerment. The author, Dr. Jimmy Laura Smull, has crafted these stories in a way that is fascinating and engrossing. In addition to being a book that readers will find hard to put down, 'Healing Eve' will serve as a blueprint and an inspiration for those women (as well as men) who are searching for spiritual paths that are more authentic, more enriching, and that allow their souls the respect and nurturance they deserve."
