When I was first introduced to Homeopathy in the 1980’s I was already engaged in a successful career. However, the draw to an   efficient and effective system of medicine took me in a new direction.
At this time in our history schools and educational opportunities in the field of Homeopathy in the U.S. were scarce. In many other parts of the world Homeopathy is taught in medical schools and widely accepted within their health communities. When I discovered the National Center For Homeopathy I began taking courses wherever they were offered.
I was then fortunate enough to move from Massachusetts to Southern California, where it was like being a kid in a candy store. (Thanks for the job transfer John; I’ll always be grateful.) 

A synchronicity of events led me to the British Institute of Homeopathy, Los Angeles branch. Here I trained with such giants in the field of Homeopathy as:
Dr. Trevor Cook, homeopath to the Queen of England
Dr. Ifeoma Ikenze
Dr. Asa Hershoff
Dr Janet Zand
Dr. Richard Hiltner
Dr. Fuller Royal

This solid foundation in Homeopathy was followed by a Masters program, then Doctorate program at Curentur University (now known as American University of Complimentary Medicine) where my studies continued with even more exceptionally talented homeopaths such as:
Dr. Roger Morrison
Dr. Berkeley Digby
Dr Jonathan Shore
Miranda Castro, FSHom
Nancy Herrick, PA
Dr. Terry Pfau

The completion of the Curentur University program was followed by a two year Master Clinician Course taught by Louise Klein of Canada.
My education continued to expand over the next decade with subsequent conferences and seminars with other experts from around the world including:

Rajan Sankaran  of India
Robin Murphy, N.D.
Jan Scholten, M.D.
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, N.D., LCSW
Robert Ullman, N.D.
Massimo Mangialovori, M.D. 

During this time I created the Holistic Resource Center, which continued to round out my experience and knowledge. I met Dr. Craig Wagstaff, a naturopath from Canada, who brought his vast expertise to the clinic over the next five years. We also brought in acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, chiropractic, bio-feedback and a myriad of other modalities and health practitioners who participated in the health center over the years.
It has been an amazing journey to be living in an error where natural medicine is so boldly rearing its head and being embraced by millions, not only in America, but around the world.  
It brings great pleasure to continue to feed my passion for practical healthcare practices by teaching, writing, and product development. It is also rewarding to be able to bring to so many another choice in health care, one that reaches back to our origins and gently balances the body from within.
As the journey continues I am always proud and humbled to discover cutting edge, science based products, modalities, testing devices and the brightest minds that open our eyes to unraveling the health challenges of today.
