What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to following a deep inner knowing that my purpose is to uplift humanity. For 45 years, I’ve been dedicated to the field of physical therapy—a journey that began as a calling and has evolved into a lifelong commitment to healing and empowerment. After three decades of running a thriving practice in Maine, I took a bold leap of faith and sold my business to embrace the healing energy of Hawaii. Seven years into my island life, my mission continues to grow and expand. Today, I lead transformative retreats and workshops, offer one-on-one healing sessions, and teach dance and yoga—all while holding sacred space for individuals to reconnect with their bodies and rediscover their innate power. As a writer and author, I’m deeply honored to have co-authored the 2023 book Noble Leadership and Emergent Reality: Uplifting People, Planet, and Prosperity, a reflection of my lifelong devotion to authentic connection and holistic well-being.
