Unwinding the noise. Reclaiming the soul. Redefining health and leadership.

Dorothy Martin-Neville, PhD

In bringing my vision to the next level, it is no longer focused solely on impacting one leader at a time but on impacting one generation after another.
That means bringing multiple groups of leaders to the point of owning their spiritual purpose, their true leadership, and consequently their health, giving them the ability to transform their world.
The next stage begins...

BIOGRAPHY

Dorothy A. Martin-Neville, PhD | Speaker, Author, Consultant/Master Coach, Trainer

As a psychotherapist, Dorothy began her professional career in private practice for 20+ years seeing 42 patients a week with a six-month waiting list. After three years, she recognized her skill in seeing patterns other miss including the reality that those with certain personality styles were each presenting with the same diseases. After others saw it as coincidences, she followed her own path (a common phenomenon) to further understand it, and pursued certification in nine modalities of mind/body and integrative health. After combining the best traits of each with her own experience, she created her own method of Energy Medicine., the W.I.S.E. Method™.

At the request of those waiting to work with her she began a 6-week course which evolved into a 4-year program in Energy Medicine through her company, The Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences, LLC. With students flying in from throughout the USA, Canada, Australia and elsewhere, her students would do their 3rd & 4th years medical internships in whatever state they came from. What began as a side-gig of a 6-week course she did on her own, became an Institute with a near-million-dollar payroll.

After her oldest graduated from Georgetown and dropping her younger child off at Cornell University, she drove home to an empty house and, realizing that although she was traditionally highly successful, once she took time to stop, she realized she was also unhappy. As a result, and knowing the spiritual, emotional, and physical implications of that, she called American Airlines and got a one-way ticket to Anguilla, BWI, put her home on the market, and let her office know she was moving to the Caribbean in 3-weeks.

Once there she spent the time, finally, to grieve her marriage and divorce, her life in an orphanage, her adoption into a violent alcoholic home, being raised in the housing projects of South Boston, and being informed that in spite of an excellent academic standing she could not attend any nursing school in the country because her high school was an inner-city, unaccredited school. After the period of deep reflection through Kubler-Ross’s stages of grief, it was easy to recognize her life as a Catholic nun, an international airline stewardess, wife, mother, founder of 4 companies, and so much more in perspective, recognizing the bravery and transformation of transitions, and the freedom of choice. Consequently, she lovingly traveled back to the USA for 10 days every two months to teach at her Institute for the 10 years she lived on Anguilla where working from 5:00am-noon and swimming 2 hours a day in the Caribbean Sea and dancing 6 nights a week was the ideal lifestyle. Water and music are intrinsic parts of my life. Combined, they are a gift! They were a gift!

After receiving a call from a former student, the head of gerontology and energy medicine research at the University of Connecticut Medical School, asking her to return to the USA, eventually become co-chair of the advisory board of a multi-million dollar Frontier Medicine Grant, oversee energy medicine research across the country, as well as become a clinical instructor at the medical school, and receive NIH funding to research her work, she returned. Watching miracles happen, she became a pioneer in CAM in the United States.

After closing her Institutes, the second being The Institute for Energy Medicine Research, she chose to move from training leaders in medicine and healing to supporting leaders in industry. With first-hand knowledge of the challenges facing leaders in business and in life, she has supported leaders from all levels of success, from Park Ave firms, heads of hospital divisions, to entrepreneurs in small towns in Maine. Her natural focus on Mindfulness, Emotional Intelligence, and Quantum Mechanics to develop healthier responses to stress, risk, and life challenges call her clients to far greater success, peace, and joy in life and business.

PHILOSOPHY

In a life filled with change, transition, and unexpected adventures and growth, she has been led by an inner knowing, or intuition, of when it was time to grow to the next level. Being a planner and yet spontaneous, a problem solver while recognizing problems most don’t yet see, identifying patterns when others see isolated instances, she has come to see life as a gift that is unfolded in stages, as we are ready.After decades of education, spiritual growth, and simply living life, she has created a method of working that calls others to:

Spiritual reconnection and passion
Transpersonal psychology and loving self-awareness
Simplify their lives while adding purpose
Come alive with meaning and intent
Reclaim their health, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially
Understand and achieve true success – one business or stage at a time.

APPROACH

ENERGETICS GOVERNS EVERYTHING

Dorothy combines her personal experiences with her business success. Recognizing that success and health begin on the energetic level, she sees opportunities, self-betrayal, unlimited potential, and disease all impacted by the energetics of beliefs. Life is a gift or a burden! I will succeed or I never win. These represent the energetics of belief… As a result, she brings extensive wisdom, knowledge, humor, and experience to the table in calling leaders through their transitions to discover their spiritual purpose and their health. In the process, they standardly rediscover the joy and peace they may have lost as they strove for success and financial stability.

With her recognition that mindset and communication skills set us apart, along with her ability to make the complicated simple, Dr. Dorothy is someone to learn from so that you live a life of purpose, personal power, and the realization that anything is impossible while watching miracles happen every day.

BOOKS

Life is a gift we are meant to live not survive. For many of us, that means a series of dreams, each calling us to become more of who we are. Doing so supports health on all levels: emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
My dream is to take that message to as many as possible through my best-selling books, speaking on global stages, tv & media, and on-line programs. There is no limit as life and technology keep evolving!

Dreams Are Only the Beginning: Becoming who you were meant to be

Dreams are a necessity if we are to become everything we are meant to be. Our soul speaks to us through the dreams and longings we have along the journey, calling us to grow further, to risk more, and to come alive in ways we never would have thought possible, one dream at a time.

Dreams Are Only the Beginning: Becoming who you were meant to be - Workbook Edition

In this Companion Workbook, (the follow-up guide to her best-selling book), which is focused on you, you will find helpful, step-by-step guidelines to support you in achieving or reclaiming your dreams, as well as what you truly want in your life, and who you want to become. You will be taken through the process to uncover your dreams and your passions.

Your Soul Sings Your Body Dances: Listening to Their Conversation

As embodied souls, as pure essence in human form, we are on a journey that is always beginning a new and yet continuing from where it was. I thank each of you for the challenge, the mirror and the love. May we all celebrate the glory of the walk, in tears of laughter and joy.

Owning Your Leadership

We have been conditioned to believe that leadership looks a particular way: autocratic, disconnected, and linear (front the top down). However, research shows that there are a variety of equally powerful approaches to leadership such as Thought Leader, Team Leader, and more.

Real Women Change The World: Letting The Good Girl Die So The Real Woman Can Live

As young girls move into womanhood they are called to make a choice to remain that Good Girl who never makes waves, makes people uncomfortable, or has too strong a voice or to become a Real Woman who has no desire to make waves or make people uncomfortable either but instead is focusing on creating a world that supports her best self.

Unkiditional Love

Parenting is not easy and yet it can fill you in ways nothing else does. Learn to see it from a perspective that says dads make great parents, and are gifts beyond words to their kids, boys or girls. Moms too often do not realize that they are not meant to be forgotten in this process and are encouraged to find a way to celebrate their life not just their parenting, helping everyone in the household win.

Women in Leadership

Thankfully, women are now achieving more positions in leadership even if at what some consider a very slow pace. Whether bias should or shouldn’t exist is irrelevant at the moment. It does. And looking at the reasons why it exists and why it is perpetuated supports our ability to provide a solid foundation and focus for the movement forward.

SPEAKING TOPICS

Through the lens that everything is energy in Quantum Physics and Neuroplasticity, Dorothy speaks on the need to release the stories that are holding you back and to think far beyond whatever limits you. She makes it clear, growing calls us to continuously open to new paradigm shifts as a way of life. All this to demonstrate that through understanding your purpose and your natural leadership skills, along with your strengths and vulnerabilities, you are far more prepared to have far greater impact and influence in making this world a better place.

With so many people surviving rather than thriving regardless of income or wealth, she is called to share the message of unlimited possibilities, miracles happening every day, and the need for mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and health as the tools to living your best career, best relationship, and best life.
