I’ve learned many lessons over the years, but I always come back to something my mom taught me about how to treat people: “Be direct, honest, and kind.” Communicating in an ever-changing world can be challenging at times, but those three simple words have guided me the most.

The executive clients who work with Dr. Robin are looking for a place to focus on their ultimate goals. Their initial requests are regarding their professional lives, but often their personal goals intertwine with their executive roles. In the coaching sessions, clients "get down to business", dropping all coping mechanisms, doubts and social demands to authentically connect with what they want their lives to be. Within the confidential sessions, they are able to voice their challenges and determine strategies towards their optimal professional and personal lives.

In addition, Dr. Robin works with couples looking to establish strong foundations before commitment or couples who want to strengthen a current relationship. Unlike couples therapy, the sessions focus on the present and future, using strength-based and goal-focused approaches.

Customer segmentation is one of those key activities that companies spend a fair amount of time doing. They will investigate their existing customers and their market to determine which customer profile is the most desirable, meaning the customer profile the company believes has the greatest need for its product or service will lead to the easiest or highest sales.

But in almost all cases, when companies do customer segmentation, they don’t include the most critical aspect: what the various customer segments are willing to pay. This means that more often than not, companies are doing customer segmentation based on pure demographics—consumer demographics or business-to-business demographics. That’s simply not good enough.

After healing myself naturally from debilitating fibromyalgia when conventional treatments failed, I developed a wellness lifestyle blueprint called The WELL Method. The WELL Method shows why one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work for everyone and how to find exactly what works for you based on your unique elemental composition and unique purpose in life.

My 2nd book, The Soul of Purpose, was published on January 5th, 2021. The WELL Method has helped people worldwide find the missing link between spirituality, purpose, and health while showing a clear personalized path to find and live your purpose, all while attaining individual health, lifestyle, career, and personal goals. My background as a Scientist gives me the unique insight and ability to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western approaches to health.

Yes! in 2007, I was the designer on a show called Marriage Under Construction (you might recognize the homeowner Vanessa who was on Pretty Little Liars, Hair on Broadway, and currently on Blue Bloods). This incredible opportunity launched my design and television career, moving me into roles both in front of and behind the camera.

I’ve appeared on shows like The Marilyn Denis Show, The Goods, and Breakfast Television.

Yes, I am the proud mom of 9 children, ages 12 and under. I am also the proud owner of a Ford Transit Wagon and have enough hand-me-down clothes to open a department store.

This is a question I get asked quite frequently, and I answer it pretty candidly here. But what is important for you to know, is that for MANY MANY MANY years I struggled. Struggled to the point of absolute burnout, and an epic minivan meltdown when I decided it would be a good idea to bring a baby just DAYS out of the hospital to a messy construction site because I put immense pressure on myself to keep on top of work.

For the first 5 years of my motherhood career, I projected success. But on the inside I was crumbling under immense pressure I was putting on myself to please everyone else other than myself. I had it in my head that the only way to be successful as an entrepreneur was to work around the clock, hustling hard ALL THE TIME. And it nearly cost me the relationships that matter most.

At 19, after experiencing flu-like symptoms, Amy, a massage therapist, was rushed to the hospital in a state of septic shock. En route, she experienced respiratory and multiple organ failure which caused her to lose circulation to her extremities.

When she entered the hospital she was given less than a 2% chance of survival, put on life support, and placed into a coma. After multiple blood transfusions and the removal of her ruptured spleen, doctors diagnosed Amy with Meningococcal Meningitis, a highly deadly bacterial blood infection.

Due to septic shock, doctors had to amputate her legs below the knee. She later received a donated kidney from her father a week before her 21st birthday.

After going through this life-altering experience, Amy challenged herself to move on with her life and attain goals that even those who have both legs struggle to achieve. Just three months after her kidney transplant, Amy entered the USASA National Snowboarding Championship where she won medals in three events. Today, she is the most decorated Paralympic snowboarder in U.S. history and a three-time Paralympic Medalist.

Amy's creativity, positive outlook, and never-give-up attitude have opened doors to many other opportunities including being featured in a Madonna music video and a lead actress role in an award-winning film. She and her husband were featured on the TV show The Amazing Race and most recently Amy came in 2nd Place on the hit ABC show Dancing with the Stars with her partner Derek Hough.
