Welcome to My Website
Hello and thanks for visiting my website. I am an author, international lecturer, clinician, and world traveler. I offer lectures/workshops to health professionals at conferences, universities, and hospitals worldwide about:
- Illness beliefs of patients, families, and health care professionals.
- Spirituality, illness suffering, hope, and healing.
- Interventions that promote individual, couple, and family healing.
I have now visited 48 countries. My goal is to visit 100 countries to learn more about illness suffering, illness beliefs, and families and offer that knowledge to my health care professional colleagues
