Craig Rice

In 2014 I was severely burned at home while working on a piece of equipment. I suffered 3rd degree burns on 20% of my body that required skin grafts. It was after this traumatic experience that I began to evaluate my life and through that, made the decision to give back. I am now a recently certified Life Coach specializing in working with other burn victims to work on their next chapter in life.
I realized after being burned that I was handed an opportunity to channel my own passions into something potentially helpful to others in a similar situation. It got me thinking about how I am passionate about finding positivity, even in situations that might first appear dire and that I am passionate about helping people. I am passionate about fighting through fear, and I am passionate about being passionate.
I partner with other burn survivors to engage their resiliency and strengthen their resolve by providing a safe place and encouragement to explore new possibilities. Burn survivors need support to deal with some of the effects of being burned and defining what they want this new chapter of their life to be. From my personal experience, I help to facilitate perspectives that allow them to see new possibilities.
