Mind Chess - Paperback

Nicole Elizabeth Orozco earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Chapman University, where her fascination with Jungian psychology and the collective unconscious first took root. While life's path led her away from pursuing a PsyD at Pacifica Graduate Institute, it guided her toward a rich journey of personal development and transformational studies that would ultimately shape her writing and professional path.

As the founder and CEO of Elixir Publishing House, Nicole combines her extensive background in personal development with professional publishing services. She offers transformational coaching, ghostwriting, and publishing guidance to aspiring authors. Her upcoming course offerings will further expand her mission of helping others share their stories and wisdom with the world.

Drawing from her extensive career as a counselor, teacher, and program director for the mentally ill, Nicole has spent decades helping others navigate their inner worlds and achieve personal growth. Her first book, The Single Mother's Journey to Wholeness (2005), received the Editor's Choice award and established her voice in transformational literature. Later, as a newspaper publisher, she developed a passion for sharing stories that inspire reflection and deeper understanding. Nicole's diverse career background is a testament to her expertise and experience, reassuring readers of her ability to guide them on their personal transformation journeys.
