As board chair, she completed A Window Between Worlds’ Domestic Violence Leadership Training Program, the Annenberg Foundation’s Alchemy and Plus Leadership Programs, and the Magellan Health Care Facilitator Training Program.

Dr. Morel’s martial arts experience is extensive. Her journey began in 1965 in the study of judo, followed by in depth study of Korean Karate, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Aikido.  In 1976, she and a partner opened the Academy of Asian Arts. A national karate champion and fifth-degree black belt, the Amateur Athletic Union presented her with State and National Silver Medals, Gold Medals and the New Jersey State Championship, as well as multiple first-place Fighting and Forms trophies in Tae Kwon Do competitions. She was also awarded Gold Medals from the Garden State Open Karate Championships. As a result of her high-level martial arts skills, she was an invited guest at the University of Beijing as part of the first good will martial arts tour to Mainland China in 1984.

Inspired by her time in Mainland China, Taipei, Taiwan and with indigenous peoples, Dr. Lin founded Lin Morel & Associates, a stress management coaching and consulting company. Her clients included executives and business professionals from the aerospace, education, banking, entertainment, healthcare, petrochemical and transportation industries. That role expanded to victims of domestic violence, women on welfare, veterans, Native Americans and corporate leaders who came to find answers to their questions. She purchased land and founded the Endless Mountains Retreat Center in 1984. Incorporated in 2003, Dr. Lin has excelled as the Founder and CEO for Beyond Words Group Inc, formerly known as Lin Morel & Associates PA. This role has uniquely positioned her to work globally assisting thought leaders and those seeking to release issues blocking their success, including post-traumatic stress and trauma. 

Dr. Lin has written eight books, including the best-selling books, “Soul Lifts: From Bumps to Brilliance” in 2014, and in 2020, Beyond Lovelyville: A Parable of Self-Awareness and Rising Above Trauma.

Dr. Morel attributes her success to her passion and desire to support thought leaders and those committed to sharing their wisdom and the possibilities that exist for everyone, regardless of their situation, circumstance or environment. The ability to become self-aware is the cornerstone toward creating personal, professional, and world peace. Dr. Lin has developed a revolutionary and transformative approach that accelerates recovery from trauma. She is currently working preparing to launch a research project that will help to ameliorate post-traumatic stress symptoms in veterans.
