“I truly believe that coming to your practice and joining this wonderful community was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I’m a stronger clinician, a more heartfelt healer, and a better human being – and after only a few months!!! You and your family have created a loving home environment worth sharing – the team certainly feels it, and our clients certainly do, too. I’m so proud to be a part of this.” –email from a Postdoctoral Fellow
