My purpose is to shift perspectives, so that we can see new possibilities and be kinder to ourselves, others, and the planet.  I work to stretch people's worldviews, infuse their lives with a sense of awe and wonder, and help them use these expanded perspectives to do good in the world.

Let’s Build a World that Supports True Mental Health TEDx talk is now available!

The future of mental healthcare is here. From exercise and nutrition to mind-body science, psychedelics to virtual reality, and so much more, this influential TEDx talk covers how new practices are promising entirely new potentials for enhancing mental and emotional well-being! This groundbreaking, evidence-based talk is a step in the right direction for mental wellness and mental healthcare globally. 

Everyone knows we are in a mental health crisis. What people don't always hear is that we are also in the beginnings of a mental health renaissance. Approaches to mental well-being are expanding each day, empowering families and communities with practices that can be integrated into their everyday lives. Please share with your friends, family, and network to reach and help people learn about mind-body approaches to mental health!
