Quotes:

• "The biggest thing, of course, is transitioning from the health profession side of things, where we really look at the problems that clients and patients come in with, to the health coaching side of things, where you are actually allowing that client or that individual to tap into their own self-healing and see their actual potential."
• "I have designed a life that really brings great joy and ease."
• "How are you going to measure the gain? That was a pivot for me…. It really rang with me, how are you going to measure whether you've achieved something if you haven't put metrics to it? If you don't have a way to measure it, you're never going to achieve it."
• "I have created a very meaningful life in retirement."
• "I will just stay connected to this community because it will pull me into that next transformation."
