    Thérèse A. Kravetz

    Thérèse A. Kravetz is a writer, teacher, and speaker. After years as an actor and voice coach, she taught English at a community college in Virginia. She discovered how to "re-wire" her anxious brain and to help her students do the same by using voice, movement, breathing, and drama. She noticed these tools accelerated learning as students bypassed anxiety to be creative and confident in the present moment. Her books, her blog, and her teaching show others how to transform the fight or flight response and tune into their authentic voice and creativity. She won a sabbatical to pursue her work in this field.Thérèse holds a Master's degree in Education from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA and a Bachelors degree in German from Georgetown University.
