Dr. Rosenthal holds a PhD degree and an MBA from the University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business.  Networks (social structures) and Quality Management were her areas of concentration. She holds a Masters degree in Public Health (MPH) from the University of California’s School of Public Health, Berkeley, in the area of Health Policy, Planning, and Administration.  Dr. Rosenthal received her BA from the University of Michigan with an Honor’s degree in Philosophy.

 

Dr. Rosenthal has always had interests in business as well as health and well-being.  Her entrepreneurial career began at the age of 13, when she started her own company (Bethro Ltd.), a printing business.  Dr. Rosenthal is business savvy with professional experience in a variety of business and health organizations.  She worked for ArcVentures, a subsidiary of Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke’s Hospital, Chicago, in their planning and business development department.  Her responsibilities included heading up internal quality teams to improve business processes and analyzing possible new businesses for acquisition.  Other work experiences include The Healthcare Forum, in San Francisco, the State of Michigan Public Health Division, W.A. Golomski and Associates, and internships with Kaiser Permanente, Northwest Region, in the Health Education and Promotion department and the Berkeley Holistic Health Center.  

 

At W.A. Golomski and Associates, Dr. Rosenthal conducted quality audits for private companies producing safety equipment in the United States, Switzerland, and Mexico.  Dr. Rosenthal is an established and proficient quality advisor and auditor with an extensive total quality management (TQM) background.  TQM is a ‘holistic’ management system approach addressing challenges from multiple perspectives and seeking to resolve underlying (root) causes rather than simply treating presenting symptoms. Her work in quality was recognized by the American Society of Quality Control in 1994 when she was given a Research Fellowship Grant. Currently, Dr. Rosenthal manages her own coaching and consulting business, Loving Living Life, Inc. and directs the activities of HCU.

 

Along with her extensive background in business and the health field, Dr. Rosenthal has a passion and natural talent for networking, connecting people with the resources they need, and co-creating with them. Dr. Rosenthal is results focused, action oriented, and relationship oriented.  Her ability to connect with people and build relationships makes her an extremely effective solution-finder, teacher, facilitator, coach, consultant and speaker.  Dr. Rosenthal is an innovative industry resource, speaking to a global audience.  Her international exposure has been gained by living abroad, working abroad, and teaching MBA students from all over the world.  Dr. Rosenthal received the highest evaluations from students and supervising faculty while teaching at Cardean University, an accredited online MBA program.  Dr. Rosenthal has facilitated and led numerous workshops and trainings, mostly in the arena of living one’s best life (participant feedback can be read here.)

 

Dr. Rosenthal has had the honor of speaking at numerous events including the Whole Life Expo in 1998, the American Society of Quality Control in 1996 and the National Wellness Conference in 1993. She has spoken at book stores and community events across the country in the course of promoting her book.

 

Beth is a passionate advocate of holistically oriented health care services, and is the author of Where to Go When You’re Hurting: A Healing Resource GuideShe is adept at expressing first hand knowledge gained through personal experience, in such a way that others may benefit by applying her experiences to their own lives. In 2002 Beth received the Volunteer of the Year award from Christopher house for her involvement with youth groups.  Beth has also taught computer classes for disadvantaged (mostly homeless) people through the non-profit organization Inspiration café.

 

Beth was sick nearly every day of her life until she was 25 years old when she found out she had food allergies and chemical sensitivities.  Up until that point she had seen countless conventional and alternative practitioners.  This personal experience as a consumer of health services from an early age gives an added perspective to her involvement with healing centers.  Now a healthy and health conscious person, Beth truly appreciates health care services delivered with respect and care.  She has the utmost appreciation for feeling well and her life’s work is about having well-being services that are nurturing and caring available to all who desire them.
