Patricia Kasper, MA, MTh | Trauma Informed Life Coach

Meet Patti Kasper, author, podcaster, self-advocate, life coach, social worker, as well as former therapist and hospice chaplain. With over thirty years of experience in addiction, mental health and child welfare, Patti took a deep dive into the field of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) to better support the children and families on her caseload at the time. In the process, she discovered that she too is on the spectrum. Her self-identification was later confirmed with a diagnosis. The magnitude of seeing oneself differently, through a truer lens, and understanding the impacts of prenatal brain injury upon one’s physical, emotional and cognitive development, uniquely experienced by everyone, revolutionized both her personal and professional life. Patti’s work thus shifted in hopes of bringing this monumental shift in understanding and grace to the nearly 15 million adults in the US who have never understood why life was harder for them than for most. This is her mission and her legacy.
