About us - The Island-Time Staff
 
Michael Affemann, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist (left)
Michael Grew up in a large European city and spend his childhood vacations visiting islands, a patter which continued into his adulthood. His studies of Medicine and Psychology led him to be fascinated with the way our life-choices impact our well-being and the potential to improve the quality of our life through the decisions we make. Michael has applied the lessons he learned in teaching at several universities, his psychological practice, executive coaching and consulting, and in his own life.

A native of Arizona, Robert has always yearned to be surrounded by water instead of desert sand and cactus. After a lengthy vacation to a small island in the Bay of Bengal, he knew he wanted to live on Island-Time. Robert learned Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from the Chinese and since then, has been profoundly impacted by the concept of our holistic nature. His continuing studies in Medical Philosophy, years of clinical practice and teaching at several colleges continue to emphasize to him that our physical and mental health cannot be separated from each other or from our food, water and habitat.
