Additional Non-Formal Education

Often people ask how I know so much on these topics and outside all of the education, much of it has come from living this experience myself. I've lived the conventional medicine route, alternative, functional, nutritional, many forms of "spiritual/energy" healing, spent time shadowing in an acupuncture/PT clinic, worked in a Licensed Naturopath's office, hours and hours of discussions with professionals in the Medical Field, visits with Indigenous Shamans, practiced yoga  and meditated consistently, been through many forms of traditional/nontraditional therapy, have completed neuroplasticity programs such as DNRS and Lightening Process, mind body work, participated in a Joe Dispenza workshop, and continue my own self- development journey with a therapist and spiritual mentor. I've also done advocacy work, navigated the system, fought with insurance companies and the list continues . All have had something to offer. Additionally, I have spent hundreds of hours in personal research of: psychology/psychiatry, biology, neuroplasticity, spirituality, medicine, nutrition, culture and wellness. I also continually work on my Spanish skills including through tutoring others, receiving my own advanced tutoring and translating. I absolutely love to learn and to ask questions.

Finally, I most enjoy learning from my clients. I continue to try to stay up with current research for conditions my clients deal with and I also attend many presentations offered through the Yale School of Medicine. I try to weave in balance of all these concepts that may be relevant for my clients. I firmly believe in meeting someone where they are at on their journey.
