When I was in my early 20’s I was struck with this powerful calling to help others. At the time, I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I knew that this was the path. Multiple points seemed to converge at the same time…sparking a major turning point in my life
Having traveled extensively around the world and spending a lot of time with indigenous cultures, I came to the realization that something was seriously off when it came to health and wellness in the western world. Indigenous people ate locally, had a powerful sense of community and did not suffer chronic, degenerative disease like we do in the West
After a 7-month trip through Asia I got to Canada. I landed up living and studying with a First Nations group doing sweat lodges, vision quests, fasting and ceremony for 6 years. While I was being fed Spiritually, I was also learning about nutrition and physical health through school.
My first job in Canada was as a maintenance man at a nursing home. What an eye-opener (to say the least)!
Between highly processed foods and cocktails of pharmaceuticals; it quickly became clear that these people were never going to get well.
Day in, day out I would watch as people’s health deteriorated…
until they died.
The more I spoke with people, the more I realized that here in the developed world, you are expected to be sick when you get old. This was in stark contrast to what I had seen elsewhere in the world, where old people just got old
These experiences shaped my life in ways I never thought possible and were all major catalysts that helped me step into my calling.
I realized that the vehicle for me to help others was going to be through natural medicine grounded in Spirit, and since that day I have never stopped learning
Over the last 18 years I have continued to study many areas within the field of natural medicine – functional medicine, holistic/clinical nutrition, iridology, clinical detoxification, Ayurveda, energy medicine, homeopathy, and energy psychology, to name a few.
This led me to a lead faculty position at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition where I taught multiple subjects to thousands of practitioners over 14 years.
All that said, this is what makes up “my tool kit”.
It’s what has made me a good practitioner, teacher, communicator and podcaster – able to tap into science, spirituality and everything in between.
It is what has made me a sought-after adviser to some of the most innovative companies in the health industry
As the years have evolved, I have slowly funneled everything onto the Holistic Health Masterclass platform.
So what exactly do we do here?
Glad you asked…
- Private practice, specializing in gut health, autoimmune disease, hormones and detoxification.
- Community functional medicine programs
- Online practitioner programs – both business and health related
- Top-rated podcast featuring healers and visionaries from around the world
- Public speaking
- Consulting, formulating and advising top North American and international companies
I am a firm believer that in order to shift the healthcare system and transform peoples health, we need to approach it from multiple angles – education, resources, hands-on help and innovation.
This is precisely what I strive to do in all of my endeavors. As I continue to root myself Spiritually and grow my knowledge, I will share this with you in an effort to help you in any way I can
Thank you for being here. Here’s to your health
