Our Story
Wellness is a multi-dimensional process of being which is about balance and optimization of potential. Mind-body practices are oriented toward seeking wellness, rather than discovering illness. Main dimensions of wellness are physical, mental and social, including emotional, intellectual, spiritual, occupational, and environmental. Wellness practices promote self-care, such as drinking water, healthy eating, massage, and activity, as well as stress-reduction, adapting to nature and increasing awareness of the senses.

"Live as a Work of Art" ~ My Story:
I quit my career as a financial planner, then bought an RV at age twenty-six and headed West from Indiana. For five years, I traveled the US on what I now call a health pilgrimage. My only intent was to walk a path of service, wherever I was called. Such surrender taught me the power of faith. I had no job and little money, but I felt abundance. I thrived. I learned. I grew.
I searched for community and answers about how to be well. I traveled without technology, except for a stop at the library every month or so to check my Internet voice mail. I explored and discovered how to express my truth. I developed a passion to inspire others to fulfill their dreams.
When I landed in NYC with my RV, I thought it ironic to be in the one place I said I would never visit. To me, The City was the epitome of everything I thought was wrong with the world. I called my five years there, “paying my dues”.
When I discovered community and wellness in the last place I thought to look, I realized my authentic self… and financial freedom. I became a certified Circle of Life Coach, created a holistic health network, and began teaching Tai Chi Easy in Manhattan. I was the director of a non-profit community center, and I managed operations of a computer software firm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where I invested in real estate.
I spent the next five years focused on healing family, thanks to an invitation to move home from my then eleven-year-old sister. I bought a seasonal vacation rental business in the Lake Michigan wine country, a playground of well-to-do Chicago tourists. I had time and location freedom, but knew I was not quite ‘on-purpose’.
By now, my laptop and I were inseparable. I could research and write and share. I networked with other Lifestyle Entrepreneurs. I clarified the “Why of my Now” and became a trainer of trainers.
My mission is Dreams Fulfilled through Empowerment Education. My passion is to inspire others through volunteering, wellness coaching, small business consulting, public speaking and teaching classes such as Tai Chi Easy and Qigong Healing. I love collaborative marketing and building partnerships to positively impact our communities.
