Thelma Giomi

Thelma Giomi is a novelist, award- winning poet, and psychologist. As a therapist she has treated children, families, and individuals experiencing a wide range of psychological and life stressors. While working in a university medical setting she trained medical students, residents, and graduate students. In her personal life, a diagnosis of systemic lupus became the impetus for her to focus on her lifelong love of writing and develop as an author and motivational speaker.

She draws from the essence of her being. She infuses the challenges of living with an “invisible illness” with an invincible vitality that sustains a creative energy and belief in caring for others.

In her writings and speaking, she encourages her audience to see the unearned challenges in their lives not as obstacles that obscure their way, but as events that illuminate the path forward. She stresses the choice of strength, resilience, a sense of purpose, and the ability to experience passion for what we do and who we are as an ever-present choice. Dr. Giomi is a native New Mexican and resides there still.

This novel, Shatter My Heart, won “Best Fiction from New Mexico” in the 2019 National Federation of Press Women’s Communication Contest.

Thelma Giomi has written numerous books and collections of poetry including: Weather’s Store: Encounters with the Sacred, Weaving the Wind, Winter’s Invitation, The Beagle Blues, Church of My Heart, and Jaleo.
