- **Event Description**: Dr. Ann is a trusted leader in behavioral health, passionately devoted to supporting the well-being of adults 55 and better. With 30+ years of experience, she creates practical solutions to enhance mental wellness, resilience, and overall quality of life during the retirement years. Her approach blends in-the-moment strategies for stress reduction, emotional balance, and social connection with proven psychological methods tailored to the unique challenges of aging — from maintaining vitality and purpose to navigating transitions in health, relationships, and lifestyle. 

A dynamic speaker and trailblazer in proactive mental healthcare, Dr. Ann delivers uplifting, actionable insights at community events. Her mission is to help individuals in The Villages enjoy greater peace of mind, stronger connections, and more fulfilling lives. Passionate and visionary, she empowers people to thrive in every season of life.

"After 50 years in preventive healthcare, I've learned that the most important investment we can make is in our mental and emotional well-being. This is especially true as we age. I've come to understand a fundamental truth: it all starts in your head and manifests somewhere in your body. True health begins with the mind.

My work focuses on this mind-body connection for those over 65, fostering mental resilience for a vibrant life. This isn't a lecture; it’s an invitation to a community where we come to laugh and learn. It’s about building joy and peace of mind together. I welcome you to join the conversation and discover how to add more life to your years."
