Integrative Medicine and Yoga Retreat
It has been quite a full September! I continue to advocate for the use of complementary and integrative health in occupational therapy and mainstream health care. I submitted a petition with over 100 signatures asking the Accreditation Council of Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) to create an education standard on how these approaches can be taught in the over 300 OT colleges and universities across the United States.

Congratulations to the New Graduate of the Holistic Healing Program!
Congratulations to Jill Tessman, MSW, LICSW, who completed my 2 Year Holistic Healing Certificate Program on a beautiful spring day today!

She has already been applying what she has learned in her life and already benefitting from it with more sense of calm and peace.…

Are We in the Midst of a Revolution?
There has been a lot going on in my world as a holistic health care practitioner who also holds a conventional mainstream health care license – combined together; a Holistic OT. I am finally convinced that holistic/integrative medicine is here to stay and will only continue to grow – to the point that it will completely infiltrate all of health care and truly transform it. One may consider it as a revolution that is happening. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a revolution is defined as: revolution noun rev·o·lu·tion \ˌre-və-ˈlü-shən\ Simple Definition of revolution : the usually violent attempt by many people to end the rule of one government and start a…
