One of our superpowers as humans is that we have the power to heal ourselves. Each one of us is a healer. Each one of us experiences the pain and challenges of the human experience and we have the power to heal ourselves. The interesting thing is that it is quite easy to activate the healer within as long as we decide to embark on the journey with dedication and purity of heart.

“I’m not shocked by a lot of things, but I’m shocked.” I said to Dr. Edie.
And so the first week of the new year I spent detoxing, cleansing and healing–not as planned, but nonetheless the greatest blessing and education I could have received. My understanding of healing has upgraded...
Read More“I feel so much more love and compassion.” I sobbed through tears as Noble Silence completed on the 10th day. “I’m releasing something.” I said to Samia, the French Moroccan woman who had been sleeping in the room across from mine. “Breathe it out.” said Samia in her beautiful accent. “This is strong medicine.” “She’s right.” I thought to myself. I never considered Vipassana to be medicine, but it is just that.
Read MoreAs I shifted to a mind, body, spirit human perspective, I realized true health care is really life care. And to live an amazing life, it’s about optimizing. Enhancing our being in mind, body, and spirit is how to invite longevity, happiness, and love into our lives. So where do we go for life care and optimization?
Read MoreSometimes I feel amazement when I examine my life and I wonder, “How did I get here?” I’ve come to realize that all of my major life changing decisions happened while I was retreating. I can vividly remember the exact moment I chose to leave western medicine. It was on a vacation during my first year of residency. I was sitting on the beach, retreating at an Ashram in the Bahamas. Crystal blue waters sparkled in front of me as I looked out to the sea beyond my happy, sand covered toes. I felt at peace with a journal, pen in hand, and I vividly saw my future unfolding before me.
Read MoreDespite my years of studying as a doctor, I shy away from chemicals and prescriptions and opt for the natural approach to healing. There is an intelligence that exists in nature, and believe it or not we are a part of this symbiotic relationship with other organisms on the planet. The remedy often resides in nature.
Read MoreI’m going to get vulnerable in this post. I struggle most with surrendering and trusting in the process of life. As many of you know, I’ve lived many lives this lifetime and the adventure only continues with greater twists and challenges. Despite being optimistic and quite the dare devil when it comes to living life, I still worry.

Read MoreWhen was the last time you hung on the branch of a tree? Or how about upside down? You may find these to be silly questions, but believe it or not hanging decompresses your spine and maintains health and youth. It also can bring peace of mind.

Read MoreA series of epiphanies thanks to various practices, people, and information sources gradually woke me up. I realized I wasn’t lucky or unlucky; I was creating my reality with my thoughts and my actions. After realizing how the universe works, I decided to alter my reality, and I continue to do so everyday. When I’m not happy with something in my life, I choose to change it. I’m not going to just deal with it. Life is too short for that mentality. In no way, shape, or form will I ever settle or compromise when it comes to living a life full of passion. These are the top tools I use to create my reality.
Read MoreI’ve been quiet lately—suffering from writer’s block since my trip to the Amazon. Today I realized that sharing my secret hobby with you would facilitate me in sharing my Amazonian adventure.
For those of you who have been following my journey, the signs have been present, but I haven’t really been so verbal about. To many of you it may seem weird because, heck it was weird to me when all of these interesting experiences kept happening across my path.
Read MoreWe all begin our journey of healing somewhere. It's a cyclical process of light and suffering. Oftentimes my clients are mirrors into my soul. They inspire me and we support each other through the healing process. I wrote this letter to a client and thought it may be an inspiration for others. Namaste
Read MoreI’m all about cleansing the body. I think there are safe ways to do so, and not so safe ways. This past week I did "The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush" by Andreas Moritz and let me tell you… it was amazing and interesting and a first in many ways for me. I warn you this blog may be a bit graphic because I’m going to be honest about this gut cleanse so you may not want to read this while eating…
