Susan L. Roberts, author, occupational therapist, minister, lecturer, integrative nutritionist, and tarot reader, combines five decades of practice working with people of all ages using manual therapies, sensory integration, nutrition, and healing rituals. Susan's latest book, a Sci-Fi/Romance, LUPE'S STORY, follows the familiar nativity story from the New Testament through the eyes of the protagonist, Mario Guadalupe Ahmed-Hernandez, who grows up in a mid-22nd century domed med-tech city in the gender-fluid Province of Maine, New Canada. Like Mary of the familiar New Testament stories, she gets sent away, just before her 13th birthday. This time, to a nearby village of farmers and landfill miners. Four years later the City calls her back, where she ends up impregnated in a reproductive experiment that goes sideways. Her foster brother, Joe, comes to her rescue, helping her avoid becoming breeding stock for those who control the domed cities. A salvation tale for troubled times, LUPE'S STORY explores a future where the descendants of billionaires live in domed cities, over their 21st century bunkers, while the descendants of regenerative farmers, landfill miners, and craftspeople supply them with the goods they need to continue their high tech lifestyles. In exchange, those outside the cities receive occasional benefits of medical technology, and regular entertainment projected on large screens outside the city's dome. What could possibly go wrong? SUSTAINABLE HEALTH: SIMPLE HABITS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE, looks at Occupational Therapy from the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine's Five Element Framework to help people take charge of their health and happiness using the five occupations of eating, playing, sleeping, working, and loving. Susan taught Occupational Therapy at Eastern Kentucky University and New York Institute of Technology. She studied occupational therapy at Boston University, theology at Harvard, nutrition at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and Five Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Tao of Healing Center in New York City. She has worked in psychiatric hospitals, physical rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and home care. Her pediatric clinic, Changes Occupational Therapy, in Tucson, AZ, used play as the focus for healing.
