Victoria Gaines is an Atlanta freelance writer with fifteen years of varied writing experiences. From informative health articles to heartfelt devotionals, she sometimes delves into difficult issues. Like a sojourner, she speaks to matters of mental health, spiritual growth, and emotional wellness. As a nurse and former Stephens Minister, she understands relationships, spiritual needs, grief, loss, and depression. Folks call her writing “insightful, challenging, and sensitive to the needs of hurting people.”

Victoria combines her medical background and love for research to write on other pertinent topics as well: health & nutrition, alternative remedies, mental illness, chronic illness, and balancing brain chemistry. Her hope is to help others by sharing what she’s experienced.

Her articles and inspirational writings have appeared in local newspapers, denominational publications, church ministry newsletters, various E-zines, and book compilations such as:

* A Cup of Comfort Devotional: Daily Reflections to Reaffirm Your Faith in God (Adams Media)

* Pinches of Salt, Prisms of Light (Leal/Everson)

Christian Women Online has featured Victoria’s monthly column, “Healthy & Whole,” concerning emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness in the lives of women.

Comfort Cafe featured Victoria’s articles in “The Healing Hearth,” a monthly column offering spiritual hope for women going through serious trials and life challenges.

Presently, Victoria contributes to Crossmap.com, one of the larger portals for Christian resources where she explores a life of faith. While she’s available for freelance assignments, you can explore her writings at:
