Gabor and I are hosting a webinar to share our mistakes, lessons learned, and how you can apply them to better navigate your healing journey.
We know the body holds trauma, but many live with this knowledge without the tools to create lasting change. Instead, we're often told to just manage symptoms caused by an unchangeable past.
I want to change that for you. Why? Because I was once in that same position.
Even as a physician, I was the sick patient, struggling to find a clear path to improve my health, relationships, and life. Now, after helping myself and thousands of others, I want to share hope and guide you toward your path.
I’m excited to bring you this opportunity to learn from Gabor's insights!
