Health Professional Referrals
Being heard, and having a health team that feels like they support you in your choices, is important. I think that everyone needs a number of different practitioners that can help them move along their health journey.
I often get asked for health professionals that I would I recommend. I love connecting people (read about that here), so love sharing the best of the best with others.
