I am a free spirit. I love the water, I love to surf and teach others how to surf. I get so passionate to share my love of surfing and the ocean with others, especially other women. It brings me great joy to show women how to navigate the ocean and flow with the waves in each of our own unique ways.

A bit about me:

I grew up always the last one to get out of the water, whether it was a lake, pool or the ocean. The water has been my special place, the one place where I can always go to feel totally free and to be me.

When I was 17 I moved to Kauai with my sisters and I went to massage school and fell in love instantly.I knew right then and there, I had found another passion. When I’m not running surf retreats or with my daughter I spend my time doing bodywork. I love connecting with others from a present space.

Love you ALL, Let's SURF

From April to June 2020, Vito DiSalvo completed a longtime bucket list item of composing his “Symphony No. 1.”  Composing this symphony and creating the virtual orchestral recording was his ‘pandemic passion project.’

For the past six years, Vito DiSalvo has served as music director and pianist for The Sicilian Tenors touring with them throughout the United States.

In 2019, DiSalvo completed the motion picture score for the newly released Little Italy Productions film, “That’s Amore”, starring Tammy Pescatelli, Dave Petti, Joe Puglisi, and the late Barbara Russell.  You can view the official movie trailer by visit “That’s Amore” on IMDB:  “That’s Amore” is currently available for streaming on your favorite movie streaming sites.

Vito DiSalvo’s musical background and leadership have taken him to concert stages from the Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio tri-state area, where he originated and lead the popular dance band, WE THREE; and now to film scoring credits in “That’s Amore”.  DiSalvo also garnered screen credits in the Julia Roberts Sony Film, “Eat Pray Love”, having two of his We Three recordings in the film:  The classic ‘wedding tarantella’ “Tarantella Napoletana” and an original that he penned in 1987, “Tarantella Americana.”  He also earned performing credits (accordion) on the film, “A Wedding for Bella” aka “The Bread My Sweet”.  In the mid 2000’s, Vito played piano for a short stint for the singing group “The Lettermen.”  Vito also produced a PBS special with his group We Three and American tenor, Matt Morgan.   He traveled to South Africa, Europe, Australia, Canada and China where he conducted and performed on both piano and accordion as Music Director for international singers Giorgia Fumanti and Patrizio Buanne.  Vito was also privileged to play accordion for world-renowned tenor, the late Luciano Pavarotti, for his Pittsburgh concerts, as well as to have performed on the Grammy Award winning Jazz album for the late Nancy Wilson, “Turned To Blue.”

In February 1977, DiSalvo started Mifflin Hills Music Co as a publishing company and served for the next thirty years as an umbrella company for all he did in the music business.  In 2007, Mifflin Hills Music Publishing LLC became solely a music publishing company and MHM Productions LLC was formed as a record label and artist management company.   With Mifflin Hills Music Publishing LLC being a BMI affiliate, DiSalvo, in 2019 started Parkridge Music Publishers LLC to accommodate ASCAP writers.  Mr. DiSalvo and his companies have published choral music and numerous symphonic band compositions and plan to publish his “Symphony No. 1”.    He has also produced nearly thirty albums for his MHM label.  His original music has been performed on the HBO series “The Sopranos,” on national advertisements and for the past fifteen years on the promotional videos and national television advertisements for Perillo Tours.  His music has also appeared in an independent comedy film, as well as several documentary films.  

Vito DiSalvo also collaborated with Pittsburgh radio legend, Jack Bogut, on five recording projects featuring “Story Teller Jack’s” original stories and DiSalvo’s original music; “The Joys of Growing Up Italian”, “Big Sky Café”, “Mental Movies”, “Word Painter”, and “Past Present Accounted For”.

Earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education from Duquesne University in May 1973, DiSalvo was honored by Duquesne in 1977 with the prestigious Distinguished Alumni Award in recognition of his outstanding achievements and contributions to the fields of music and music education. Vito furthered his musical education earning a Master of Music Degree in Theory/Composition from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida in 1975 where he studied with such distinguished composers as the late Clifton Williams, the late John Kinyon, and the late Alfred Reed.

In 2008, the National Italian Sports Hall of Fame honored Vito DiSalvo as their “Education Professional of the Year.”

Our words and actions have an impact. During my 21 years in law enforcement, I saw the impact of how people were treated. When well intentioned people don’t understand the people they’re working with, it’s possible to do more harm than good.  Through workshops, keynote speaking and training programs, I equip people with tools to bridge the gap between at-risk and immigrant youth, First Nations Youth, newcomers and the community at large.

Ann has over 25 years experience as a clinical & therapeutic counsellor. She has worked across many fields
including -  Mental Health, Crisis & Welfare, Advocacy, Education, Relationships & Family, Suicide prevention,
Domestic Violence, Sex Education/ Mentoring, Female Sexuality, Sexual trauma, Research & most recently Spiritual Counsel / Guidance.
The Journey has been a diverse & convoluted one, beginning  in the not for profit / welfare sector,
to the Government medical sector, then into private practice.

After re-locating to the country in 2015, Ann established a new private practice Margaret River Counselling & Healing,
offering Relationship, intimacy and sex counselling /education. She became a certified Female sexuality educator,
as her work was becoming more exclusively focused on women suffering childhood & sexual trauma.
She also ran women's sex & intimacy education workshops, helping women reclaim their sexual identity.

Around the same time, having been certified as a  Theta-healing® practitioner for 20 years, Ann recognised the need
to incorporate a more "spiritually centered" component to her therapeutic practice, & began offering this as a modality in healing.
As part of this therapeutic metamorphosis & perhaps as a reflection of her own spiritual evolution, she became more aligned
with the spiritual aspects of her work. It became clear that the old paradigm of her original therapeutic work was being surpassed
by something far greater and more holistic. So in 2019, she terminated her counselling practice and created Orion Metaphysical.
In addition to this spiritual transformation, Ann went on to qualify as a Level 3 QHHT® Hypnotist & past life regressionist -
Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique ®
This ground breaking work was created by Dolores Cannon - leading edge Hypnotist, Past life regressionist and healer.
Dolores spent nearly 50 years conducting & documenting her healing hypnosis work on thousands of clients across the globe,
contributing greatly to spiritual and metaphysical studies and research via her 18 published books.

Ann's work is never stagnant, as she continues to expand & evolve.
In mid- late 2019, she experienced a debilitating mystery illness. Through her daily meditations, she was instructed by Source (God)
how to heal her body without medical intervention. These steps became the outline for the course she created in October of that year
the  Metaphysical Healing Meditations .

The Meditations have now been converted into a wonderful guided healing handbook called 
"By Divine Instruction - Lessons in Metaphysical Healing" 
published Nov 2023
OUT NOW!

Ann believes her work is no longer a Profession but rather a Vocation as she moves
into a very heart-centered way of working inclusively for the betterment of each individual she works with.
Her goal has always been to help people heal. Because only through healing can one truly live in joy.
And there is nothing more beautiful & heart warming than seeing a Human Being finally recover, releasing themselves from a life
of suffering & evolving into a Shining Beacon of Light.
Because these are the Humans who offer Humanity Hope, that they too can free themselves of their shackles
& live the life they truly deserve to live. And so can YOU.
