This first hand insight fuels my passion for aiding professionals in overcoming behavioral health challenges and attaining their utmost potential. I have crafted a performance wellness program that enables individuals to enhance their productivity and personal lives by integrating the key elements of mind, body, and emotion. I have also conducted a significant scientific study involving individuals worldwide, shedding light on the effectiveness of AŠVA protocols. Additionally, I have spearheaded philanthropic initiatives in East Africa, where I have had the privilege of teaching student-athletes the transformative power of AŠVA protocols.
