"You’re such a teacher!

I love that you speak from your own experience, that you welcome any and every question, that you somehow ‘hold space’ for where every person is at.
​
And I love that you speak easily, from a deep place of integrity and that you allow your amusement free reign!"

-Nancy Simmers
“ I love how this course integrates the medical, the alternative, the compassion-based, the intuitive, and the spiritual sources. I have loved the readings…and the other resources. The case studies … have given me more 'experience,' even though it is not on-site. Of course, what is underscored is the uniqueness and preciousness of each individual. Everyone is distinct, but there are still general guidelines I can follow when being with/accompanying a patient and his/her caregiver(s). I love the thoroughness/rigor of the program.”
