Facilitator Profile:
Niparpon means "a gift from heaven." She embraces her body as a precious gift from God and encourages others to do the same.
Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, she was a Buddhist attending a Catholic convent, learning to respect all beliefs. After training as a graphic designer and commercial photographer in college, she moved to California in 1999 and founded a successful wedding photography business, Bridetography.
Tragedy struck when she lost her newborn son, followed by an emergency surgery for a misdiagnosed ectopic pregnancy, which turned out to be a molar pregnancy. This experience plunged her into a deep depression, leaving her staring at a blank TV screen for three years. A life-changing phone call from a stranger helped her reconnect with life, leading her to volunteer at a local hospice.
In 2006, Niparpon returned to graduate school to study Marriage and Family Therapy, specializing in clinical art therapy. Since then, she has focused on understanding how trauma affects individuals and their behaviors, believing that while we can't erase traumatic memories, we can learn to not let them control our lives.
