“From early in my training a focus on the cohesion of body, mind, and spirit began forming due to experiences, professionally and personally, with manual and lifestyle medicine, mindfulness practices, religious and interracial communities, sustainable living, contemplative spirituality, and numerous factors implicit in behavior change and what it takes to get “unstuck.”

Much of this, however, came through the numerous challenges and failures I’ve experienced, again professionally and personally, that shaped how I understand both myself and my life. Reaching for integrity within the disease-focused, profit-driven medical machine that exists both locally and nationally, I began to see the preeminent value in considering the nervous and affective systems in treating almost any persistent symptom and energizing a person’s innate self-healing capacity.

And I knew I had to find a way to do it better. Tony Robbins has said, “There are no failures, only outcomes,” and this has proven quite true in my life, ultimately leading to the development of the Center for Insight Medicine and its unique philosophy.”
