Robbyn Raquel Wallace

 Robbyn has always had a fascination with psychology and the metaphysical world, especially the concept of Consciousness and Energy.

She obtained a Bachelor of Science, Psychology, and a Graduate Certificate, Contemporary Theory in Mental Health Services. She was a research assistant in the Brain and Behavior Research Lab at the University of Southern Mississippi her entire senior year. During her graduate studies she was inducted into the International Honor Society for Counseling, Chi Sigma Iota. 

Robbyn served 8 years in the military, serving one of those years in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom III. While serving in Iraq, she received the honor of an Army Commendation Medal for her essential role in in running FOB Dogwood as well as her participation in combat and peaceful missions. After serving in the military, she became a children’s case manager and counselor with mental health.  

Suffering a physical injury while preparing to go to Iraq, Robbyn had challenging symptoms during her entire deployment. Within months of coming home she was diagnosed with cervical lordosis/disease and disc desiccation. Within 6 years of diagnosis her spine had completely reversed and collapsed herniating C5/6 which ended up embedded inside of her spinal cord left of center. She had three neck surgeries within 3 years. She ended up with a 3 level titanium cage in the front and two angled rods beneath the cage in the back of the neck. She has overcome multiple incomplete spinal cord injuries in her cervical spine along with lumber herniations. 

It was conscious living that gave Robbyn the courage to live above her medical condition. She is now back hiking. She strives to not only live consciously but to help others become more conscious beings leading to more fulfilled lives. 

Most of all, Robbyn is a nature enthusiast and hiker. Her favorite little saying is, “nature never disappoints.” She enjoys discovering uncharted territory in national forests. She has enjoyed nature all around the world, but no matter where she goes she always looks forward to coming home to Mississippi nature.
