PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR and HELICOPTER PILOT

Deb Wood has studied naturopathic energy medicine, quantum physics, and bio-communication sciences from Nicola Tesla, NASA, ZYTO and Evox. She holds an undergraduate degree in criminology, along with numerous certificates in coaching, leadership, nutrition, exercise, fitness, suicide prevention, and Reiki.

Deb is also a helicopter pilot, best-selling author, and professional public speaker who has lived three career-focused lives. In her “first life,” she investigated white-collar crime and child abuse through the Virginia Beach Police Department, the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, the State Board of Pharmacy, and the Attorney General’s Office in Utah. She was also a licensed Private Investigator and worked undercover, finding "things" were not always what they seemed, especially in Main Stream Medicine.

Second Love

REAL ESTATE, PHILANTHROPIST, AUTHOR, WORLD TRAVELER, WIDOW, MOM

Deb is a philanthropist, plus involved in a 30-plus-year career in real estate. She built and sold the largest title insurance agency in Virginia, then co-partnered with her late husband to create the largest real estate company in Virginia. When her husband contracted two forms of cancer and was given a diagnosis of three months to live, his health thrived for seven more years as Deb's career pursuits changed from real estate to the formal study and research in alternative or integrative medicines - particularly ENERGY medicine, and QUANTUM PHYSICS; studying and interning with the top names in alternative medicine: Dr. Doug Graham, Dr. Vincent Speckhart, Dr. Lambert T. Parker, T. Colin Campbell, and more.

During this time, Deb facilitated Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People course. She published Settling with Power, 3-Steps to Mastering Life, a book written from a helicopter pilot's holistic perspective for achieving mental, physical, spiritual, and social/emotional balance or well-being. This book was on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington. It concerns Deb's Whirly-Girls International Women Helicopter Pilots #1095 membership.

She is also the author of the best-selling book The Legend of River Mahay, about a real-life Daniel Boone-type character living in Alaska whom she met while traveling the world searching for a cure for her husband's illnesses. His struggles changed her philanthropic focus from just giving cash to giving of herself by getting in the trenches with her veterans.

🌿 The Deb Quotes Anthology
Words to Live (and Heal) By — curated from the writings of Deb Wood, PhD, ND

Healing Wisdom

If you are still breathing, there is hope.

Words matter. When someone in authority says, “You have three months,” they’re not prophesying — they’re programming. No one has the right to play God over your life. Your story isn’t finished until you say it is.

Healing isn’t always about doing more; it’s often about learning to feel safe enough to do less.

Faith and physiology are not enemies. They are teammates when you remember who designed both.

Learning is healing.

Straight Talk on Medicine

Medicine takes advantage of ignorance. Do your homework.

It’s not about moderation in all things — that’s a misnomer. It’s about balance.

If the liver ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.

Doctors can be part of your team — just remember you’re the captain.

Conventional medicine shines in emergencies—stopping bleeding, resetting bones, saving lives in crisis. But long-term healing often needs a different approach: daily partnership with your own body, faith, food, and peace.

“Factual” can be a double-edged sword; sometimes it cuts truth right out of the conversation. “Science” should seek discovery, not silence.

Warrior & Legacy Lines

Saving one warrior does not change the world.
But to that one warrior, the world is forever changed.

Safety is the soil where truth can grow.

Legacy isn’t what you leave behind. It’s what lives on because you chose to love.

Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we fight to stop fighting.

Humor & Everyday Truths

Second opinions are good; your own homework is better.

If peace were a prescription, most of us would forget to refill it.

You can’t medicate your way out of what you behaved your way into.

The body keeps score, but it also keeps hope.

Short Lines

Healing is remembering you were never broken.
Faith first. Fear never.
Learn, unlearn, begin again.
Your story can become someone else’s survival guide.
Balance isn’t found; it’s practiced.
Learning is healing.
Safety creates space for truth.
You are the captain of your healing team.
If you’re still breathing, there’s hope.
Saving one warrior changes the world for that one soul.

Habits & Hope (Teaching Tone)

Faith First
Healing begins when you reconnect with your source. Faith grounds physiology. It restores peace to the body’s systems and reminds the heart that hope is not a feeling — it’s a choice you can practice every day.

Learning is Healing
Healing thrives on curiosity. Keep asking questions until you understand the answers. Education protects you; it prevents fear from taking over your decisions. Every time you learn something new about your body, you reclaim authority over your own health.

Daily Habits for Health
Consistency is medicine. Choose habits that honor your body’s design — real food, clean water, rest, and gratitude. These aren’t punishments; they’re partnerships. Health isn’t a quick fix, it’s a daily conversation between your spirit, your mind, and your cells.
