FAIRHOPE — In "Unlocking the Headache Mystery, Essential Keys to Reclaim Your Vibrant Life," Elizabeth Anson Phelps explores truths about healing through a mix of research, fact, storytelling and memoir, revealing ways to reach past headaches to embrace life through inventiveness and self-discovery.

Both the book and Phelps' friendly presentations bring perspectives about healing and include fascinating stories about her personal journey to find solutions to debilitating, chronic pain. From talks with iconoclast Dr. David Buchholz, head of general neurology at Johns Hopkins Medical, who supports her work, to stays in facilities like The Cleveland Clinic and The Diamond Headache Clinic, to solo cross-country journeys revealing mystery and miracle, Phelps examined a broad range of causes of headaches and solutions to release complex chronic head pain. In discovering how to heal her own headaches, Phelps discovered ways to help others heal theirs. She now teaches headache release through workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions.

Join the author and special guest John Woods on Saturday, Sept. 30, at the Fairhope Public Library in the Giddens Conference Center from 1 to 2:30 p.m. for an interview, Q&A session and book signing.
