Lori Schumaker’s life story embodies the phrase “unveiled hope.” As both a Life and Mental Health Coach, as well as a writer, speaker, teacher, and creator, she gently guides women through the complexities of life with grace, hope, and resilience. Her own journey through the pain of abortion, and the subsequent cycle of shame and insecurity that followed, left her feeling shattered and unable to move forward. Yet, anchored by her faith in Christ and armed with practical strategies, Lori has found strength and redemption. The adversities that once sent her spiraling are now her testimony to the power of Jesus.

Lori holds a Master’s in Education from Northern Arizona University. In addition, she has several coaching certifications through AACC, and over two decades of ministry experience. Lori guides others toward healing their hearts, and moving forward with confidence. She provides tools, inspiration, and teaching needed for this journey through her award-winning blog, Unveiling Hope. She is also a wife, adoptive, biological, and special needs mom, and a woman who reflects her Creator’s love. Her commitment to sharing God’s hope and love is evident in her life and work, making her a source of inspiration for many.

Lori also writes for various online publications and books, speaks at local and national events, and is featured on podcasts. She hosts Unveiling Hope retreats and authored the award-winning personal adoption memoir, Surrendered Hearts: An Adoption Story of Love, Loss, and Learning to Trust.
