Coral Springs Doctor Inspired by MSD Shooting Survivors

(Article written by Kevin Deutsch)

Dr. Nancy Wiley, a respected orthodontist whose longtime Coral Springs practice catered to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, has written a nonfiction spiritual book aimed at helping survivors of the mass shooting at MSD.

Wiley, a former resident of both Parkland and Coral Springs, authored Divine Trust: A Practical Guide to End Suffering and Find Your Way Home as a way to help heal survivors of the attack that killed 17 people.

“The book is actually inspired by the events [at the school on February 14, 2018] and the aftermath,” Wiley said. “That day, I lost a patient, and one of my staff lost a sister. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is where I got most of my patients. Afterward…everyone was suffering, and I wanted to help.”

“Those kids are still deeply affected, and no one’s helping to address the root cause,” said Wiley. “That’s what this book is going address: the root cause. [The book] will allow them to take the events that happened and use them as a platform to transform themselves and the world.”

Her book, she said, offers a step-by-step guide to eliminating worry and stress through techniques she developed following decades of studies with various spiritual teachers.

In its pages, she describes her journey from faith to doubt, followed by a period of spiritual seeking and her current state of well-being.
