Vertical Ventures hosts Creative Mornings Tampa Bay. September Theme: Reflection Presenter: Alissa Hopkins Alissa Hopkins is a Certified End of Life/Death Doula (non-medical) and is fiercely passionate about being an Advocate for Caregivers and Patients. She left the corporate world to pursue becoming an entrepreneur to dedicate herself to focusing on what most of us don’t want to face…but we all will at some point. With an endearing passion (yet not bashful) Alissa brings valuable insight and practical advice to her audience with an open heart and vulnerability on the end of life. Just like an echo is a reflection of sound… and how a camera lens focuses reflected light to form a photograph… our subconscious reflects on our experiences to form our beliefs. Reflection turns our traumas and triumphs into lessons. It’s how we can create a vision for a brighter future. MEMBERS MORNING IS CANCELLED!
