Gail Nielsen holds a Master of Arts Degree in Religious Studies from the University of Windsor (Ontario, Canada). She works as a psychotherapist, coach and education consultant and her interests include classical mythology, music, nature and medicine. Having worked in the mental health field for over two decades, Gail spent a number of years as an online counsellor for a large EAP company, offering asynchronous text-based counselling. This allowed her to blend her love for writing with her clinical work and to refine her ability to hear the "person behind the words." She co-authored The Control Freak's Guide™ to Living Lightly which was featured on the national morning show, Canada A.M., and her work has recently been published (or is forthcoming) in WECAN's Gateways, Kindling Journal, Flights, Academy of the Heart and Mind, Visitant Lit. and The Courtship of Winds. Gail is currently working on her first collection of poetry.
