My gratitude to Kinshasha Kambui and KFAI for the opportunity to share my story.
My intention is that by sharing my story others will be inspired to find their own path to health and what I like to call "Wholefullness" despite a medical diagnosis or serious health challenge through holistic healing and coming home to one's self.
