I came to this medicine as a patient.
Before the doctorates, I was the one on the table. Herbs, acupuncture, and breathwork brought me back to health, and that is why I practice them.
I'm a scientist by training. I believe real science was never meant to stop at the edge of the unexplained, and I bring that same honest curiosity into every room I work in.
