About Me
My passion is to bring joy into the lives of others. I enjoy dancing, singing and fashion design, but especially helping others discover the wonderful life they were designed to have!
After a childhood of hardship in Germany, I came to the United States at age 13. Though my past does not define who I am, it has helped shape my character, and I often have the chance to use the struggles of life to connect with audiences today.
Recently I have been blessed to be the recipient of an honorary Doctorate from Lancaster Bible College, and I am so thankful to be able to continue to serve my community.
The Invisible Presence
The Invisible Presence has its inception from Dr. Eleanor Isaacson’s top-selling personal survival story Dancing from Darkness. Abandoned as a toddler in Nazi Germany, American-born Eleanor survived bombings, starvation, Russian occupation, and a stint as a child smuggler—all before reaching her teens. Throughout it was the Invisible Presence who made Himself known to her that kept a lost child sane. A Presence she would eventually come to know by other names—heavenly Father, loving God, Prince of Peace.
DANCING
FROM DARKNESS
AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON
Abandoned as a toddler in Nazi Germany, American-born Eleanor Isaacson survived bombings, starvation, Russian occupation, and a stint as a child smuggler—all before reaching her teens. Escaping just as the Iron Curtain clashed shut, Eleanor soon discovered that “the land of the free” held as much pain and rejection as the life she’d escaped. Deafness and solitude would become the catalyst leading to glorious womanhood, the love of her life, and the beauty of dance.
