Choose to Live!

Joyce O’Brien is an inspirational and motivational speaker, founder of Choose to Live!, and author of the #1 Bestseller, Choose to Live. In a five-year period, Joyce's husband, Kevin, had a brain hemorrhage which left him paralyzed and then was diagnosed with stage 3B cancer, followed by Joyce being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2000. Faced with their devastating diagnoses, Joyce, an Executive Vice President on Wall Street, left an 18-year career to begin her healing journey. Now, Joyce and Kevin are healthy and cancer-free for over 19 years. Blessed with reversing the cancers and other health issues, Joyce’s life mission became clear: to motivate, inspire and empower others with tools to improve their health. Investing years in training, researching, and studying with top doctors and experts in holistic health, she discovered many of the secrets of what makes one sick and how to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. Joyce consults, appears in media, and speaks internationally on healthy living --body, mind, and spirit. She lives in East Northport, New York.
