I learned how to take care of myself as a doctor, good boundaries in medicine, and how to build myself body, mind and energy to be a more well rounded, healthy, and empowered person. This allowed me to see how to better practice and help my clients on deeper levels, as well as how to have a more fulfilling and satisfying life myself. Carrying on from my studies of spiritual practices and energetic healing, in Asia, these courses in Qi Gong, Taoist practices, Chinese medicine, Bigu fasting and more brought everything home for me and allowed me to integrate this into my life and my practice. It is the great perspective, deep understanding, and the joy of understanding I wish to share through my writing. Show less
