Dr. Pichardo-Johansson is a retired physician and a Love and Purpose Coach. After fifteen years practicing oncology, and after becoming a cancer survivor herself, she decided “Life is too short to live without passion.” She now spends her days following her two passions: writing, and teaching her clients to fully enjoy life.

As a fiction author, she specializes in romance that is “Connection of the minds and the souls, more than only the bodies” while her Mystery specialty is “How to murder someone and ensure a negative autopsy.”

As a non-fiction author and a life coach, she specializes in helping professional women improve their relationships, especially to themselves.

She is a mother of four children, including twins and a child with special needs, and adoptive mother to two cats, Ice and Rain. She lives in Melbourne Beach, Florida with them and her Soulmate-Husband, David, a reformed eternal bachelor turned into happy stepfather. He is her inspiration for writing and the main reason why she deeply believes in romantic love.
