Through keen wisdom and understanding of the key turning points that set Nancy on the course of her life, she has learned how every life experience fits together, and what matters most to her. As a result of having a near-death (NDE) and a near-death-like experience (NDLE), her passion is to help others while serving a higher purpose. This service is what Nancy considers her calling in life.
