My presentations are oriented around issues of cancer survivorship from a humanistic perspective, grief and loss, and the life-changing possibilities of learning to live with uncertainty. I offer a narrative, storytelling approach to help people voice their experiences with life threatening illness. I am available to speak to your group, class or organization. Contact me at ckrautermft@sbcglobal.net or (510) 528-8954.
