What brought you to whole-person health?
I am passionate about helping each person identify their definition of health and assemble the providers and healing modalities that work best for them. I am a firm believer in the knowing that everything and everyone is connected. As a result, one small improvement in a person’s life can influence their life as well as the lives of everyone in their circle. I have also witnessed that those who have meaning and purpose in their lives feel better and do better. The Samueli Institute is working to find innovative, accessible ways to create new levels of whole-person health, and I am excited to be part of the team leading the way.
