Through the prayers of the faithful and the mercy of God, Val is healed. She wrote about her journey and published a book entitled, "Victory over cancer; Live as if it were true...because it IS!" (See her website for more information: www.drvaleriewillman.com) Val has also triumphed over an angioplasty of the iliac artery and a spinal cord injury. Yet probably the most amazing testimony in her life has been the resurrection of her marriage after two and one half years of separation. Dr. Willman believes that each of the trials that the Lord has allowed into her life have enabled her to provide services more proficiently, and connect with her clients in a more personal way, than would have otherwise been possible. She lives her life Scripture, Philippians 4:13-"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!"
