Thirty years of championing wellness — in every form.
Across industries, continents, and careers, one thread has stayed constant: a deep commitment to well-being. Wellness can serve as a powerful business strategy, bridging economic growth and population health. Wellness as a business strategy. Wellness as a strategy for life. After thirty years, I've come to believe they're really the same idea. Healthy people build healthy communities.
I've been lucky enough to explore that idea from many angles — through consulting, speaking, research, education, and travel writing. Each one has taught me something new about how wellness shapes communities, economies, and lives. I'm grateful for the lessons.
Still passionate. Still here. Though I've stepped back from my role as President of Wellness Tourism Worldwide, I haven't stepped back from contributing to community health and wellness. I warmly welcome speaking engagements and select opportunities to advance social well-being — wherever that conversation is happening.

BUT IT IS TRULY NO SMALL THING."
