Lesa G. Williams is a Christian nurse executive, author, and clinical practitioner in functional nutrition, lifestyle, and trauma-informed care. Leas has spent her career walking alongside people in hard places. For more than thirty years she has served in nursing and healthcare leadership across acute care, rehabilitation, post-acute and long-term care, hospice, and home health. She holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing and a master’s degree in health administration, and she is a certified rehabilitation registered nurse (CRRN).

Health care has taught her that healing is rarely one dramatic moment. More often it is a journey of small, faithful steps, practiced day after day, in body, mind, and spirit. Trauma-informed care sits at the center of both her nursing and her writing; she knows that people who have been hurt need truth spoken in love, gentleness, and safety, and without shame.

A follower of Jesus for more than fifty years and a Colson Fellow (Class of 2023), Lesa has been a faithful student of the Bible and has written, led, and taught adult classes. She believes every person bears the image of God and deserves dignity, respect, and the chance to flourish. She is the author of Even Here: A Journey of Hope for Women in Hard Places and Proverbs 31 Woman: Creating a Legacy of Godly Living.

Lesa lives in the Texas Hill Country with her husband, Marshall. When she isn’t writing or teaching, she is enjoying God’s glorious creation in adventures and gardening.
