\\u201cPeople don\\u2019t know how to set goals.\\u201d

\\xa0

\\u201cWe tell our patients all the time you have to be patient, and yet we don\\u2019t apply that to ourselves.\\u201d

\\xa0

\\u201cWhat social media has become is another language \\u2013it\\u2019s another way to connect with people.\\u201d

\\xa0

\\u201cWe don\\u2019t attract what we want, we attract what we are.\\u201d

\\xa0

\\u201cYou have to be ok with the fact that not everyone is going to love you.\\u201d

\\xa0

\\u201cIf you\\u2019re selling something\\u2014you\\u2019re marketing\\u2014you have to push it more than you want to.\\u201d

So, this is the place where it\\u2019s standard practice to give you a sterile glimpse into my professional life and hopefully convince you that I\\u2019m qualified enough for you to let me treat you. But, you should know, I\\u2019m anything but traditional. Before you keep on reading, I\\u2019d love it if you could take a few moments to watch the video from the home page (if you haven\\u2019t already) and learn a little bit about me. I know that four minutes is a lot to ask of someone in 2018, but, that video IS me.

I\\u2019m a firm believer that everything in life is about connection. As it relates to our bodies, we are a united whole, with all the parts working together and affecting each other, and as such, that is how I treat. As it relates to the universe, we are all connected in some way, be it blood, physical proximity, belief systems, or energy. And as it relates to choosing a provider, choosing to listen to a podcast, or choosing to attend a course, I believe that it is paramount that you are able to connect with that person. As such, I teamed up with a close friend to film something that I felt would give you a better understanding of who I am, what I\\u2019m about, and hopefully make you realize that I am an actual person, not just a picture on a screen, a voice in your headphones, or words on a piece of paper.\\xa0
