Brain Injury Books Author
Lina Maria Aristizabal is a wellbeing educator and resilience coach and former classroom teacher. She has encountered various health challenges along her journey, notably experiencing a concussion in 2018, which led to a few very challenging years navigating the isolating fog of post-concussion syndrome. She was able to find purpose, joy, and meaning using the tools of wellbeing science, greatly influencing her recovery journey.
Her vibrant zest for life is palpable in her diverse interests, ranging from camping under the stars, to writing plays, plant journeying, living room jam sessions, long meandering bike rides, and crafting herbal lotions and potions. Lina values time spent with friends, and following her curiosities. She enjoys balancing her love of both science and the mystical; she is continually fueled by her curiosities and is cultivating as much meaning and joy as possible out of her human experience.
Lina Maria holds a Bachelor of Arts degree, a Bachelor of Education, and a Master’s Degree. She also acquired certifications in Applied Positive Psychology, Coaching, and Resilience Training from The Flourishing Center in New York. With this extensive training, she has equipped herself with a comprehensive toolkit for guiding others toward wellbeing. As the co-founder of Revive and Thrive Wellbeing, she has developed the Learn to Thrive program and Thrive courses, sharing practical strategies to help individuals navigate life’s challenges and find greater joy. Furthermore, she extends her expertise by teaching positive education to educators, integrating wellbeing practices into classrooms and schools. Lina Maria is passionate about inspiring others to find their paths to fulfillment and contentment, regardless of the health and life challenges they face. Lina lives in Toronto with her partner, Juan.
