Therapist Statement
I believe that we are all part of one human family, and that everything is connected. Nothing exists that is not in connection to the whole, to Source, Great Spirit, the Tao. Touching one thing touches all others; touching the body also touches one's spirit. I hope that my healing philosophy is one that indeed grows corn.
