My medical training taught me how to get a patient through their surgery, alive. That's what they teach. And for many years, I gave medications to put patients to sleep, and then brought them safely to the recovery room.

And then I had a few experiences that changed how I thought about anesthesia...

One of those experiences involved a patient with complicated emotional and sensory issues. I worked with this patient over the course of a year and learned how anesthesia can work to overcome sensory issues and trauma.

In my ketamine clinic, I saw how altering consciousness can relieve anxiety, depression, PTSD, and can help people unfold what is living within them. I created a program call CTSR (Consciousness Shifting Trauma Resolution) using sensory integration through differing levels of concsiousness.

I then had my own life-altering experience with trauma and needed to figure out how to breathe again. This led me on my journey with breathwork - I even became a yoga teacher! And I was able to use breathwork to overcome my anxiety.

Combining my consciousness work with my own path to overcoming anxiety, I created an online course to help patients manage their anxiety for better surgical outcomes.

I have spoken to many groups, including other doctors, patients, parents and teachers, including on the TEDx Stage.. became a International #1 best-selling author, and most importantly have co-created healthy communities where people could thrive regardless of their social, emotional, financial, or educational levels.
