“Communicating with people as an inspirational speaker is a deeply rewarding part of my life. It is a source of profound gratitude that my work moved beyond the spotlight to include journeying beside people who want, and believe in, a healthier way of existing for themselves, their relationships, their families, their communities, their countries and our world.” – Ann Mortifee

Ann is equally at ease behind the lectern, or walking in and amongst the attendees, encouraging participation. Her easy manner motives people to ask questions and weigh in when invited. Attendees are also enjoy the moments of levity, humour and inspiration that Ann intersperses throughout her talks, even when the topics is are serious ones.

Her work involves environmental and women’s issues, and the use of creativity in healing victims of sexual, emotional, and societal abuse.

She sang to us and invited us to sing along with her, and she lifted our spirits.” – Hospice Volunteer, keynote talk attendee.
