Inspirational Speakers

Dr. Rose Backman

Dr. Rose Backman is one of Canada’s most magnetic speakers on emotional and physical healing.

Internationally acclaimed inspirational speaker, workshop facilitator, and popular radio personality, Dr. Rose Backman is famous for her unique method of guiding others to overcome the debilitating life patterns limiting their potential, helping them to reclaim their strength, courage, and, ultimately, their power.

Early on, Dr. Rose’s own profound loss acted as a life-changing catalyst when, as a young wife and mother, she refused to let the tragic murder of her husband define her future or rob her of faith in herself and the world. Combining extensive training in kinesiology with her intuitive skills in unlocking muscle memory and a Ph.D. in Clinical Nutrition, she went on to innovate a unique holistic healing method known as the Backman Emotional Technique ©.

Now, the driving force behind a thriving practice spanning over thirty years, Dr. Rose has essentially saved the lives of so many who were previously mired down with issues of addiction, depression, body shame, low self-esteem, and financial failure. As a dynamic speaker and the star of an ongoing event series, The Power of an Unstoppable Woman, she has uplifted audiences all over North America.

As the author of Forgiveness Soothes the Soul, dubbed "therapy in a book" by one enthusiastic critic, Dr. Rose has done interviews for numerous radio and television shows, including Vicki Gabereau on CTV. She has enjoyed meeting fellow luminaries Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, John Demartini, Harry Belafonte, Mark Victor Hansen, and Lisa Nichols.

As Dr. Rose would remind you, “Always keep your power!”
