So, how does a naturopathic doctor become a communications consultant, anyway? The truth is, I have always loved to write, and I was completely shocked to find myself making a career out of it. At first, it began by helping my friends build up their naturopathic practices with ghostwriting, copy editing, branding and marketing consultation, and social media management. While I loved connecting with folks as a physician myself, there was something even more gratifying for me when I taught other docs how to connect with more people than they ever could before. I realized that this was my true calling: increasing access to licensed naturopathic medicine (and thereby improving public health), one ghost-written article, Facebook ad campaign, and naturopathic blog entry at a time.
Since those simpler times, my business has grown quite quickly, and I'm working with folks across the globe to get the word out about the incredibly cool things they're doing for the naturopathic community. I absolutely love becoming inspired by my clients excitement for their books or products or services, and figuring out ways to share their good work with the world.
A few years ago, I authored the Health + Humanity Oracle Card Deck and Guidebook to teach concepts of alternative medicine and spirituality in an easy-to-follow and engaging way. Oracle and tarot cards have become a very powerful and meaningful aspect of my personal spiritual practice, which has, in turn, positively affected my physical health. I am so pleased to have been able to create a deck of my own that draws on my experience with naturopathic medicine and behavioral health, and to now share it with the world.
Outside of my virtual office, I spend my days traveling to random cities throughout the country, eating excellent cheese, cultivating my tiny-but-surprisingly-productive urban garden, digging through countless thrift stores and salvage shops, and loving life as a foster mom with my wife and two puppies.
