Thanks! I’ve found my greatest liability has become my greatest asset.

My experience and scaffolding it left behind allow me to support some incredible people and organizations around the world in their own growth and transformation.

I’ll even be at the UN this Wednesday for a meeting on global mental health.

It is really wild to think that just a few years ago I was being told I’d be on medication the rest of my life; my girl friend at the time (a Stanford Psychiatrist) told me her advisors had said “Stanford psychiatrists don’t date men with bipolar! They never get better, they are like alcoholics!” and that she’s be ruined professionally for associating with someone who thought they could heal without medication; I was suicidal and sleeping in a vacant house in San Jose...

Now I’m living in NYC; engaged to an amazing yogi; a full practice of clients; my relationship with my family is better than ever and we just bought an Island in Panama to build a healing village.

When we go within, anything is possible!
