Life Experience
The interconnection of all living things has always excited me. Also, how mother earth ensures we are provided for in spite of our living heavily on her surface.
Using her natural and loving gifts to help heal has entranced me from a very early age. I work with cancer primarily because once people are confronted with a life-threatening situation they “get real”.
By this I mean the mantle of “he who has the most toys and is the most important” drops. Because of this and the fortitude of my patients I am selfishly truly inspired.
