THE REASON I WROTE THIS JOURNAL

I noticed how tough physical distancing and staying at home was for neighbors, friends, and colleagues, especially during the initial days of self-quarantine. In response I wrote The Positive Mindset Journal: Conquering the Stress of Self-Quarantine to help others work through uncomfortable feelings.

The journal is designed for both individuals and families to prompt meaningful discussion and to process the pandemic.  It can serve as a written historical account and as a family keepsake too.​

Research on Wellness Tourism 

Many of the e-books and reports I wrote 10 years old, were considered cutting edge, selling in over 27 countries to hundreds of eager readers with request for language translation.  The purpose of this body of research was to foster education and promote awareness in a newly emerging catory of tourism and to help shape it so it became more than a rebranding of the spa industry.
