Dr. Zae Zatoon (aka: Dr. ZZ and Zae Zatoon, Ph.D.) is the great-granddaughter of Count Honoré Fiesco de la Vigne. Her ancestry on her father's side can be traced back to one of the great noble families of early Europe, having among them two popes (Innocent IV and Adrian V), three saints, numerable cardinals, a king of Sicily, and a variety of admirals and generals. Early in life, however, her great-grandfather, Count Honoré Fiesco, held a contempt for the nobility. After graduating from Université de Louvain in Belgium, he traveled extensively to round out his education and ventured across the Atlantic via passenger liner. Upon arriving in Canada, he met Eliza Bourguignion, a commoner who is rumored to have been reading tea leaves for the Rockefellers at the time. When Honoré and Eliza married in 1876, the couple moved to the United States and Honoré renounced his title, living out the rest of his life as a day laborer. True to her heritage, Zae was born with a relentless passion for authenticity. As an only child in Massachusetts, she did her best not only to excel in her studies, but also to express herself vividly through her own, unique, inner creative resources. She graduated from Bennington College as an art major in 1970, developed several of her own art and pottery-teaching studios, studied psychology and metaphysics at Salem College and elsewhere, and got bit by the travel bug the very first time she boarded an airplane. Over the course of the next 35 years, she ended up traveling to more than 24 foreign countries, living in over a half dozen of them for a combined nearly 10 years, and speaking a handful of foreign languages. At Tenrikyo University (天理大学, Tenri Daigaku) in 1990, she earned a Yoboku degree in natural healing and was awarded the Osazuke Grant. This, along with studying Chinese Medicine at the Hospital of Yangshou County in Gangxi, China contributed a deeper, unspoken level of sensibility to her life in ways she had not previously anticipated. For the next 8 years, she maintained a private therapy practice on the islands of Hawaii and Maui, self-published a book entitled "Healing Emotional Hunger," developed B.A.B.E.S. (Bulimia, Anorexia, Binge Eating Service), a Hawaii-based NPO that provided support to those with eating disorders, and authored the article "Eating Disorders Update" for the Encyclopaedia Britannia 1996 Medical & Health Annual. In 2000, she was invited by the World Peace Center as a guest speaker at the Silver Dover Congress in Chiang Mai, Thailand and, under the pen-name "Dr. ZZ," was published for the next 18 years as an advise columnist in a series of bi-weekly articles entitled "Say What?" which she authored for the Bali Advertiser in Kuta, Bali, Indonesia. Since 2014, she has been serving as shaman and volunteer administrator for New Haven Native American Church (dba: Muaisa Hale Pule) in Kealakekua, Hawaii. Her additional credentials are too numerous to list.
