About TJ Rosier

TJ Rosier Is a survivor. She has been struck by a driver who was texting and driving in 2010; then she was struck again by a driver in 2012 who was drinking and driving. It was this latter accident that changed the trajectory of her life immensely. She had completed her BA in Social Sciences with a major in Criminology and Psychology and was on her way to commence her Law Degree to become a Lawyer.

She was working for the Provincial Government for the Ministry of Health and had a secure job while she was going to be attending school as she had a large family to support. Within one second, that car accident changed her whole plan for success! The doctors said she would not walk, talk, return to university, volunteering, or work again… she was labelled permanently disabled. She went home from the hospital in a wheelchair.

Getting through the pain and hardship these accidents caused her and her family taught her how truly powerful the mind is. The journey of recovery has given her extensive knowledge and experience practicing in the healing arts benefiting the body and the soul. Today is a gift, and she is here to share her knowledge of how she overcame adversity and took a large leap forward.

Not only did she survive these car accidents, she also survived childhood sexual abuse, and human trafficking as a young adult. These experiences have made her a strong advocate for survivors in several areas.

She has proven all the specialists wrong as she painstakingly went from a wheelchair to walking in heals and even walked on fire! She has returned to university and volunteering and works full-time with Chimo Community Services as their Crisis Line Coordinator and has started her own company in 2018 to help others build their toolbox to wellness. Yes, we can define our wellness together on our terms with the right tools.
