In 2002-03, Dorisse took a 10 month sabbatical and traveled to Hawaii, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, Bali, Singapore, and Thailand. Her purpose was to gather information on breathing, respiratory health of populations within specific countries, and the availability and accessibility of health and wellness care in this area.

"What I found was astounding; asthma and respiratory problems are challenging the health of infants to elders all over the world. The journey left me with a greater understanding of the urgent need to address this global asthma and respiratory crisis, as it intricately weaves the health of a country and its people. I was blessed with openness, appreciation and love wherever I went, and my faith in humanity was strengthened."

I believe that people are experiencing deep grief and sorrow for what is happening to our Mother Earth - Gaia - and that these emotions manifest in the respiratory system." Deforestation - the excision of the lungs of Gaia - is rampant; in 2005, studies showed that less than 4% of old- growth forests remain in Cambodia, Vietnam, Shri Lanka and Nigeria (http://rainforests.mongabay.com/primary_alpha.html).

Dorisse is on a mission is to further develop the work of Respiratory Education, which is a vital missing link in most modern health care programs, and which has the potential to truly change the world.

She loves to travel and will gladly consider all requests for co- facilitation of seminars and retreats worldwide. See her information above.
