Cognitive Crossfire: Natural Medicine Meets Modern Psychology

Welcome to Our Brand New Collaborative Series

Our mission is to empower our students and community through providing unique perspective, tools and lessons that are drawn specifically from the fields of psychology and natural medicine.   We believe in the power of healing that can be shared with community through coming together in the face of challenges. We will be weaving together lessons and tools in a way that is easily digestible and able to be integrated within daily life.  The wildness of human life can be felt in both the body and the mind, and the impact can lead to cognitive dissonance of the individual.  We are here to support you in the crossfire and hope to bring your system - mind, body, heart and spirit into alignment with one another.
