THE WORK IS BIGGER THAN US.
I see my work as awakening people to the joy and meaning in their work and their ability to create bold change in the lives of their patients, and in turn, the world.
TRAINING, SPEAKING, MENTORING.
Whether treating patients, training a group of practitioners, teaching an online course, or mentoring health professionals in our Clinician's Mastermind program
– The heart of the work is empowering every person to look to nature first, drugs last
