The Hesitant Healer
What if all you need to get better, in every way, was available at the touch of a hand, the sound of a voice or even a vibration? Let’s talk about how that happens, who can do it and where to find them. I grew up secretly believing that everything we need to get better is here on the earth. It took me 50 years and A LOT of life experience to find the tools to put in my toolbox to make that happen. Hang out with me as I explain what and who I found and how we do it.
