The wonder and enjoyment of what nature has to offer.

Two former patients, John and Scott, inspire me every day, overcoming their physical challenges. We met at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation when they were newly diagnosed teenagers and found each other on FaceBook years later.
Why did you choose your profession?
An early diagnosis of migraine headaches in my teen years resulted in a prescription. I was told that I would have to take it 4 times a day for the rest of my life. I started researching and learned that I had other healthier options. So now my goal is to reach out to the community and help others of all ages learn what options they have in order to live healthier.
