Bio

Bio #1

Paula is known as the, "Real Deal". She couldn't be fake if an Oscar depended on it. A chronic pain warrior of 20+ years, her Dark Decade of the Soul, as she refers to it, shifted her life perspective forever. "It wasn't my body that was the problem it was my mind". She is originally from the U.K., immigrated to the United States as a first generation college student is a clean comic, voice over/improv artist, a theatrically trained actress in addition to a world traveled meditation instructor and inspirational/motivational speaker. Her clean comedy is infused with wisdom, inspirational gems, various voices, silliness and act outs that do deserve an Oscar.

She learned meditation to cope with living in physical pain from a computer injury. She became a teacher and founded a new global nonprofit to bring stress reduction techniques to low/er income underrepresented groups in the wellness community.

Comedy/Entertainment

Paula has performed on line ups including Margaret Cho, Darrell Hammond (Saturday Night Live) and on Los Angeles stages such as The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, Flappers, The Comedy Chateau. Regionally she has hit the famous House of Comedy and 3E's Comedy Club. She loves to MC especially charity events where we are all working for a higher cause. Her brand Rise Up Comedy is touring to raise health awareness and bring comedy with a message in a clean comedy forum.

Acting

She has worked on over 100 tv/movies as either a voice talent or on camera. She is an improv artist originating in the U.K. performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Groundlings Theatre (Los Angeles) and a prior member of TheatreSports Pittsburgh. You may have caught her on local Los Angeles stages, Nevada Shakespeare Festival and more. She is a trained theatre professional from Carnegie Mellon School of Drama.

Stress the Other Pandemic

Anxiety is the highest mental health diagnosis in the United States. We all experience it and are aware of it but we don't know why it won't leave the collective in spite of increase awareness.
I delve deep into the core elements of the stress cycle with solutions and exercises we can implement into our daily lives that will immediately relieve stress.
1 hour presentation with exercises. Available in person or via Zoom.

Chronic Pain - the Overlooked growing Populus

Today chronic pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined.
Chronic pain is also one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care.
Estimates that 20% of the population live in chronic pain. 10% are newly diagnosed per year.

The rise of prescription drugs, the cost of living has more individuals at younger ages experiencing isolation, depression, anxiety due to living in chronic pain.
As a chronic pain warrior of 20+ years, I delve into the alarming statistics, the options not presented and my personal journey of recovering my life back. The discovery that it "wasn't my body that was the problem it was my mind." This remarkable shift, changed my healing journey and during this presentation the discoveries are shared in a format that all can participate.
Includes simple exercises to assist
