There are many heartwarming stories from my career in the elementary school system as an office administrator. Part of my duties as an elementary school secretary were to greet and enroll children in Junior Kindergarten (average age 4 -/+. Some of these kids remained at the school until they graduated from Grade 8 at about age 12 or 13 years of age. It was a joy to watch as the children grew and learned in the school environment. One special occasion stands out during that time.  Read more>>

I have many heartwarming stories from the work I do. There are actually very many that stick out. When I first began working with the medicine much of my focus was on working with drug addiction clients. I had this one kid who came in, his name was Mark, he was a 15 year heroin addict and he was only 30. He was living on the streets and shooting up daily. He came for treatment with us. He sat in ceremony with Bufo (5MeO-DMT) one time and had a miraculous life changing experience. Read more>>

I had a client with a chronic skin condition. He had eczema all over his face. When he came to see me, he was struggling with confidence, anger, frustration with his ability to manage his skin. He was constantly taking prescriptions medications, that weren’t really working. I remember at the end of the session, he looked at me as if I was a crazy person when I was giving him his protocol. But shockingly, he followed it and when he came back in and said his skin hasn’t felt this good since he was a kid. Read more>>

When I started in the field as a grief therapist in the mid 1990’s, my entry was by way of a grief counselor at a Hospice organization in Columbus, Ohio. I had just completed graduate school so half-of my job was working with kids in schools running grief groups, and the other half was home visit based grief counseling. I had a client that was German and they immigrated to the United States. I began seeing her following the loss of her husband. They had been married for over 50 years. She would always have the table set with ceramic tea cups and saucers, linen napkins, and serve me home made German pastry. I learned about Christmas stollen from this client.  Read more>>
