Her approach is both evidence-based and radically human - blending deep knowledge with a commitment to authenticity, autonomy, and compassion.A dynamic and engaging speaker, Libbey has presented at conferences, led panels, and hosted the award-winning podcast OnePath: Safer Opioid Prescribing, where she helped create space for critical, often uncomfortable conversations in public health. She brings clarity, warmth, and a touch of rebellion to every stage and every room she enters.As the founder of O.W.L. - Our Wellness Lives, she offers coaching, workshops, and speaking engagements that challenge the status quo, spark honest dialogue, and empower people to define wellness on their own terms.
