Beatriz Custodio Gonzalez

Beatriz Custodio Gonzalez was born in Uruguay, South America, where she took her first degree in Criminal Law and Psychology. After completing a second degree, she qualified as a teacher and went on to teach Spanish, English and Religious Studies. She then moved to the UK, retraining as a Master Florist, teaching Floral Art Design, and managing her own, successful business. She also ran therapy classes for women, using flower arranging and design as a way to heal emotional trauma. She now lives in Germany, where she specialises in the education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. When the refugee crisis hit Germany, Beatriz immediately volunteered to work with displaced women and children in refugee camps. She also supports many charities and causes including: environmental issues; women's rights; Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis and cancer support and research; and disabled people and their families. She has a profound and unshakeable faith on God. Beatriz has been writing since childhood, regularly contributing to local newspapers and blogs, and has created her own blog at: www.escape-to-life.com. This is her debut as a published author and also the first in a planned series of inspirational books.
