Lori Rubenstein, JD, PCC is a lead facilitator with the Institute for Healing of Memories-North America which offers workshops for people who have experienced or witnessed trauma. As an attorney, Lori found herself immersed in the legal system fighting a never ending battle of emotional pain and relationship retaliation. Today, as a mediator, author and coach, she now focuses on helping people heal from their relationship wounds through forgiveness, the cornerstone of all healing.

Lori continues to walk with people on their healing journey through her work with Healing of Memories. She works with veterans and their spouses to find peace with their past, so they can step into a more fulfilling, joyful life. The workshop provides a sacred space for people to heal and mend their past as they transcend their own "stories." It offers participants a step toward inner peace which starts with self-love, acceptance, non-judgment and self-compassion.
