How did I go from being a PhD student in a foreign country, alone with two toddlers and facing uncertainty…
...to building a life of abundance, joy, and purpose as the founder of Dr. Flo’s Place?

How did I go from barely surviving to thriving as a Queen?...

I am a medical doctor, PhD in Molecular Pathology, and an expert in Strategic Thriving™—a transformative framework that empowers women to cultivate resilience, clarity, and purpose-aligned success in every area of life.

With over 25 years of experience across medicine, education, and personal development, I help women move beyond overcoming challenges to thriving with intention, joy, and sovereignty. I also work in Medical Communications as a teacher and a skilled medical editor, equipping future medical leaders with global communication skills and helping doctors and medical scientists/researchers refine their ‘voice’.

But before all this, my story looked very different.

From Survival to Sovereignty
Years ago, I found myself in a foreign country, alone with two babies, and starting over.
Life had pushed me to the edge—but something inside me refused to stay there.
I discovered the power of gratitude—a shift so profound it changed everything.
I learned to:
♦︎ See my experiences as lessons, not limitations
♦︎ Extend the same love and compassion to myself that I gave to others
♦︎ Unlearn patterns that kept me stuck
♦︎ Step into my true power—not as a survivor, but as a Queen who chooses, daily, to thrive
That choice led me here—to empowering women who are ready to step into power, joy, and abundance.

If you’re ready to:
 ✓ Get unstuck from the past
 ✓ Reclaim your joy and purpose
 ✓ Thrive as the Queen you were always meant to be
I would be honored to walk with you. 

A Flourishing Life

I’ve learned what it means to start over, and I know the power of support, strategy, and self-trust. And so,  I pay homage to the many Japanese women who lifted me up when I had no strength left. 

​

"力が尽きかけていたときに私を励ましてくれた多くの

日本人女性たちに敬意を表します."

I also believe in the power of safe spaces, in creating communities where women are seen, valued, and uplifted. And I know that when we shift from survival to Strategic Thriving™—we change not just our lives, but the world.
