In her memoir titled Brave Enough Now, Tiffany Johnson has poignantly captured the harrowing experience of surviving the 1999 Swiss Canyoning Disaster at the Saxetenbach Gorge.
A story of inspiration, Tiffany has written this narrative non-fiction with humour, honesty and an appealing voice that will greatly captivate a myriad of readers.
She learnt many important life lessons along her journey of surviving not only this disaster, but also a toxic relationship that had damaging consequences on her mental health, and she has expertly expressed them for the benefit of readers.
Her writing is illuminating, entertaining and witty, and her words will provoke readers into contemplating their own self-journeys. Her story, whilst hers alone, has the potential to enlighten many who need to find courage and embark on a life of ‘their’ choosing. It has the potential to resonate positively with a wide audience, due to Tiffany’s engaging writing style.
Brave Enough Now is not just another memoir; it is a story of a significant historical event and a woman who was brave enough to share all the intimate shades of her experiences that lead up to that day, and that propelled her onwards and upwards.
‘There are few people you meet that truly glow but Tiffany is one of these. Her loving radiance is evident as soon as you arrive in a space near her, her laughter infectious and her courage is phenomenal. Yet, her greatest gift for clients, for readers, is her ability to see your spirit and be able to intuit what is around you for you to become more fully ‘in spirit’. So much of this messy life obscures our truth from us and it is Tiffany’s gift that she can reveal the wisdom that can clear our path for us to connect to
Tiffany is an inspiring soul. I remain in-gratitude that she so generously shares her healing power through deep communication and love.
The day I met Tiffany was the day that my outlook on life changed for the best. Tiffany has taught me how to feel safe, to trust what my body is telling me and how to find peace and love in myself.
Tiffany is one in a million with the most beautiful aura surrounding her.
Tiffany is a beautiful gift to the world
Amusingly, the timing was always such, that when I needed Tiffany most, she was there for me. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tiffany for over two years. Her generous energy and efforts, always fill me with confidence, calm and perspective. When I have felt confusion in my life, from parenting to the workplace, Tiffany helped me to stay on track.
When I have felt concerned, she grated my perspective by showing me the bigger picture. And when I was so excited that I was flying too high, she gently brought me back to earth.
Tiffany came into my life to help be part of a journey. To release all the emotions that created a toxic shadow in my being.
This woman is nothing but AMAZING. Her effervescent attitude to life is one to take hold of. She is a nurturer, a guide, a shoulder to cry on.
She has the talent to tap into all things that you can’t put your finger on.
Tiffany has helped me in many ways but most of all her sweet loving voice of reason, hope, encouragement and strength are what makes her special.
Thank you Tiff for coming into my world and not letting me forget that I have a purpose.
As I watch the country I love burn, I want to help all those in need. Here's how to make a start.
