Emmy Nominated Soap Opera Star, Amy Gibson, International Wig Designer, Leading Personal Hair Loss Consultant and ’The Voice of Hair Loss, has been living with hair loss for 25 years, and has dedicated her life to helping women better understand and emotionally cope with hair loss and how to live their their lives normally like any woman with hair.
In her new book, Sex, Wigs and Whispers ~ Love and Life With Hair Loss, Amy crosses the barriers by opening a no-blink conversation about how to live with hair loss, wigs, dating and sex, while staying in your power. In a bold clear voice, she addresses sensitive areas that many women have either been too afraid to talk about or have had no one to ask:
“When is the right time to tell my partner about my hair loss?” “How do I date with my wig on without my partner finding out?” “How do I physically handle my wig so it doesn’t come off during sex?”
Her story becomes even deeper however, as she reveals personal issues which include abuse during her fragile childhood; as well as the many challenges of facing dramatic hair loss while starring as lead actress onseveral Daytime Soap Operas and still being nominated for an Emmy. With poignancy and clarity, Amy takes you on her very personal Survival Story to show you that you too, can rise and overcome… You too, can go on to live a happy, healthy and spiritually rich and fulfilling life. With or without hair.
’If you feel that your sense of dignity is being hijacked by hair loss, take heart! Amy’s Gibson’s Sex, Wigs and Whispers speaks from direct experience in a voice so authentic that it restores self-confidence and personal radiance from the inside out.’ - Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Life Visioning.
“Sex, Wigs & Whispers is an exceptional gift for all women – those without hair and even those with hair. By sharing her own courageous journey and the lessons learned along the way, Amy Gibson will inspire you to connect fully with your own personal power and thrive, come what may!” - Rev.
