I am therapist investigating key elements of health with POC settings, and how we can bring our own medicine and linages of goodness into this space. In the past i've suffered from depression, isolation, loveliness . chronic fatigue and the impact of racism and othering. I've learned through this program that much of this can be regulated, manged and altered and that mind over matter and is possible. If I can overcome the adversities and challenges of my past and history so can you.
