Your Guide to Finding Answers and Solutions. She offers an online mental health coaching bootcamp as a companion program to her book to find root causes, provides alternatives to medications for people with chronic mild to moderate anxiety and depression-like symptoms that do not respond to antidepressant medications, and prepares the body for tapering of medication if appropriate and desired.
