Dr. Lucia Bove is the founder and principal of LBProInternational. Her career has been invested in consultation, analysis, advisement, and coaching resulting in her having a profound understanding of human capacities. That understanding, combined with her relentless pursuit of knowledge and her skill with abstraction, makes her able to conceptualize the deepest underpinnings of a person’s functioning. Her ability to clearly and simply communicate about the most subtle of individual nuances, gives her an extraordinary capacity to be a person's best ally in their pursuit of life enrichment, and overall well-being.

Dr. Bove is a Personal and Executive Coach and a member of the International Coach Federation. She is a licensed New York State Psychologist, a Diplomate of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, and a member of the International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies. As a Personal and Executive Coach with a background in biological sciences, work in hospitals, and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Dr. Bove offers a particular sense of the interplay of body and mind on human functioning and how stress factors affect that interplay.

Dr. Bove has given many presentations at conferences and workshops, has written articles published in magazines and newsletters, has done several radio presentations and TV interviews involving areas such as communication, trauma, bereavement, pain management, behavioral medicine in cardiology, and stress. She has taught undergraduate courses in colleges and graduate courses at a web-based university. She is a biofeedback specialist and a certified hypnotherapist.

Dr. Bove experienced living in another country for several years, followed by reentry into her place of origin, New York, which spurred an interest in partnering with those who are expatriates abroad or in this country. In her capacity as a Personal and Executive Coach, as well as Clinical Psychologist, she has had occasion to work with expats and returning expats. Additionally, expertise in trauma and disaster related issues give her a unique perspective where such issues are involved in the lives of expatriates and their families.

*Following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Dr. Bove worked with firefighters, family members, and others in the community. She ran debriefings with rescue workers, workshops with children, and workshops with school principals and teachers promoting resiliency. She conceived and spearheaded the creation of the Garden of Healing, a place of tribute for those lost on 9/11, of solace for anyone affected by 9/11 and its aftermath, and for anyone suffering the effects of any cataclysmic event. The objective was to provide a place that would help reduce current devastating and far-reaching generational effects of trauma and that would strengthen resiliency.

**Highest honor from the SIBG given to Dr. Bove for her conception and spearheading of the Garden of Healing, and for extensive work in its creation. Exemplary in undertakings which followed in the Living Memorial Project of the USDA Forest Service, and comprised of a Woodland Healing Garden and a Tribute Center, the Garden of Healing was created as a tribute to those who perished on 9/11, and as a comfort for survivors, the general community, and for anyone touched by the effects of any trauma.
