    Paula is known as the "Real Deal." She couldn't be fake if an Oscar depended on it.

    Her clean comedy is infused with wisdom,

    inspirational gems, various voices, silliness and

    act outs that do deserve an Oscar.

     

    Paula underwent a life-changing experience after sustaining a repetitive stress injury from working on a computer in an office. She went through a "Dark Decade of the Soul," (as she refers to it) and came out with a shifted perspective of life.

    "It wasn't my body that was the problem, it was my mind."

     

    Now, she fuses all of her life experience and talents to help diminish the suffering of others. This chronic pain warrior founded a global non-profit to reduce stress and pain for all, regardless of income.
