Hello there friends. How are we today? Gosh, it's good to be with you again. So it's I I release these on Friday mornings, right? So it's Friday morning here in the the the realm, right? I'm actually recording this quite early. I just felt like getting on the ball. And I got some time today in between clients and just want to chat, right? It's always good to chat and meet and see you guys and be with whomever is listening. So this is wow, this is Holy can only, is this is the 15th episode of Wizard of Wonder Podcast. We are cooking right along, right? And somewhere along the lines, I have read that after episode 12, you have a legitimized podcast. And I can't believe this, right? What what started it is just like a thing that I wanted to do. And I just sat down one day and I was like, you know what, we gotta do this. And yeah, I was it was it was like during a storm, I was just kind of chilling, hanging out, and yeah, we did we did the thing, but now we're at 15, 15 episodes in. So thank you guys for anyone who's tuned in. So today I'd like to talk a little bit about what I did just prior to starting my practice, right? It means a lot to me. And I uh a while ago, actually back in March, no, yeah, no, maybe earlier, I don't remember. Anyway, maybe March, maybe March. Anyway, I I one time started this podcast, right? And I I had no idea what I was gonna talk about, what I would even be about, but I actually recorded a full 20-minute episode on my background a little bit and like what I do and and how I like to do things, right? So I I wanted to talk a little bit about my time where I worked for a corporate health entity, Perkview Health, and what I was doing for them. It's kind of an interesting story. So now that we're here, I I think I'd like to talk about that, right? 15 episode 15, I think it's a good time to chat about it. And, you know, I don't know. This is this podcast is is a creative outlet for me to just express myself and you know, tell my story, right? I've come to determine that I'm a little bit of a storyteller and I like doing it through vocal stories rather than anything else, right? It's nice. So yeah, for so for four years, I worked for Parkview Health, you know, almost four years, just almost four years, just a month shy of four years, actually. And Parkview Health is like a giant hospital organization in northeast Indiana. Sometimes, you know, they're they're spreading, they're growing, right? So there's some in northwest Ohio as well, they're Parkview, but it's a giant corporate health cog, right? An entity. And, you know, they they do all kinds of great things. And the thing that I love the most about Parkview Health is the people. Okay. The people, people make an organization, right? It's not necessarily the organization or its mission or its values or what it can do for other people, right? It's really the people who work within that organization that make it unique and make it its own. And I I, you know, was caught up in the glitz and the glam and how beautiful it was and how green it is, right? I worked up at what what they call as the Emerald City. And I had a couple different jobs. So I had two different jobs, really, two different jobs, right? So one of them, I worked for the Center for Healthy Living. Okay. It really should be called the Center for Toxic Work, Workplace Toxicity, is really what it was. But in that place, I I held the title of a massage therapist, and that's what I did there. I did massage therapy for for a lot of Parkview staff, more staff than than people who came in. And that's just kind of how it what it morphed into because of the other job that I had that I want to talk a little bit more about, and that was part of the holistic response team. Holistic response team, or also known as Code Lavender. Okay. So at the time that I started, what okay, what happened was I I started at Parkview, okay, in July of 2019. Okay, started at Parkview, and it was good. It was good. And I worked there for three months. I got hired in as a PRN massage therapist, and I really thought, you know, okay, cool, we're at PRN. Give me, you know, a few months in and let me work real hard, let me take on all kinds of hours, you know, work on all any client that would come through the door, I would want to work on them because ParkView has like this prestigious air to it, right? So it's like, oh yeah, let me do a good job, let me prove my worth and let me get insurance, right? Because as a massage therapist, the idea of a business providing insurance to you is just like almost non existent, okay? Especially here in the Midwest. So I was like, oh man, this is my opportunity. And you know, fair point. I have never had a job that ever pays me insurance, not one. Okay. So I was like, oh, this is a grand opportunity. Wonderful. So I went in there and I worked my little heart out for a good six months. That first six months, three to six months, I was working a lot. Okay. I was putting in about 36, you know, 38 hours probably a week. And I was getting a little bit burnt out, right? Massage therapy can burn you out pretty quickly if you don't pace yourself. And I wasn't pacing myself. I was still a young hotshot, and I'd, you know, just trucking, right? And so three months in, I decided to get this other job. And the job that I worked prior, what I had this nurse come to me one time and tell me about this idea, this concept that was happening in at Parkview Regional Medical Center. Okay, it's this giant hospital campus. Okay, it's a whole campus. So this nurse came in and he was chatting me about that. I'm like, oh my gosh, like that sounds crazy. Like a bunch of nurses running around and massaging other nurses. Like, that's probably cool. So, what would happen if a massage therapist got in there and then did this job as well? And they're like, Well, I don't know, maybe maybe you should come work at Parkview sometime and figure it out. Well, lo and behold, a couple months later, I ended up leaving that other spa job, very sketchy place. They're no longer in business because of some sketchy things that they did towards the end of it and massage therapy clinic, Georgetown. So goodbye. But, you know, then I got in with Parkview. I worked for three months, and then it kind of hit me. It's like, oh, you know what? I should probably do something else. I don't really just want to be here in a dark room providing massage therapy with like all these rich snobby ladies. Okay. That's that's really who came into that office. Was you know, the people that I seen were really nice, genuine, honest people, but a lot of them were just like these rich snobby women who would like come in like all super entitled and super, you know, done up, dolled up, you know, they would spend like hundreds of dollars on these really crappy skincare products and just think that they were so posh, you know. But that was just like what they were dealing with, you know. They it's just what whatever it was, right? It is what it is. Uh, but anyway, and I see a through I I have this cool ability to see through a lot of superficiality. So I didn't like it, right? So I didn't like it. So I wanted to work with some real people and make a real difference, as I like to do. So I went to work at, I I met with this nurse. Her name is Carolyn Meyer, super sweet lady. Shout out to you, Carolyn, if you ever hear this. But she was so super kind and so super nice, and she humored me and she's like, you know, this is kind of a little different. Like, usually we just have nurses, you know, providing care to other nurses. So if you want to help, you know, your PRN, you know, come on over. As long as you don't work more than 40 hours a week, you're gonna be golden. So I was like, cool, sign me up for Thursdays and Fridays. I want to do eight hour shifts. Usually we worked in four hours. So I just I like to chunk it in because if I'm gonna be driving to Fort Wayne, I might as well be there, right? So I loved it. So I did that job for four years. That was my favorite, probably favorite job ever. I got to meet so many people, I got to talk to so many people, and I was very, very outgoing. Like, I feel like my my personality hit was like really blooming at that point because I was able to be dynamic. I was able to talk to multiple people and I could entertain, I could educate, I could engage with people, and people just like seeing me come around. You know, it got to a point where these nurses, these medical assistants, um, you know, tech, and I mean, like, you know, and I went everywhere. I went absolutely everywhere in this massive hospital. Okay, so I went to like the main core tower, okay. So like the surgery centers, the medical floors, the ICU floors, you know, orthopedic floors. I went into the orthopedic hospital, right? Where a lot of people were recovering. And, you know, I didn't work on anybody who was like there to be like a patient or anything. I just specifically was there for staff stress management. So I provided massage, I provided hand massages, shoulder massages, some lotions, some snacks, snackages. It was really cool. And I I did that, like I said, from I want to say like October, maybe September, October, until the end, until I left in June of 2023. So yeah, and I absolutely loved that. It was the the best, absolute best job. And like I said, I went everywhere. So I went to the Cancer Institute. I went to I love the Cancer Institute. That was one of my favorite places to work. It was very heavy, it was very hard, but I I loved going over there because it would be it would be like five floors of just all these amazing, wonderful, beautiful nurses and MAs who would really, you know, just work from their heart. You know, there's so much love in that building. It was crazy, you know, and there had to be, you know, there's an infusion clinic. They did all kinds of different like cancer sites, right? Each floor was basically kind of like the all these pods, right? Five floors, the third floor is the infusions, and then on all the other floors, there was like three main pods in on each floor, right? And each of those pods focused on a different tumor site, and then they would have these meetings called tumor board, where like they would all collectively get together and they would like review these cases. So they had multiple eyes and knowledges, right? Multiple intelligences working on like one person. And I thought that was phenomenal. I really hope it's still going on over there. It's so so super cool what they do. But I loved the Cancer Institute, and I would be like a lot of the other rounders, as we were called, didn't didn't go over there because a lot of the rounders who worked on that team, you know, most a majority of them were nurses. There were some OTs, there were some MAs a little bit as well, but mostly nurses, right? But I had found that those nurses, when they're on the team, they really stick to the areas that they're familiar with. And what was cool about me was that my other job at the Center for Healthy Living was not on that campus. So when I was working, I it was all free reign to me, you know, and I didn't have somebody like dictating, like, well, you need to do this today, you need to do this today. You know, I had no expectations other than to see as many people as I could with my sh my schedules and help as many people as I could and uplift as many souls as I could in a shift, right? That was kind of like my job, okay? And I loved it. So I went all over this giant hospital, you know, like I was saying. So it's and it's all connected. So I didn't I didn't really have to go outside. I I did from time to time just to get some fresh air and hang out a little bit, you know. I I knew all these really cool spots to hang out in the hospital. And if somebody found me and they're like, hey, do you know how to get to here such and such? You know, I was like probably the best person because I knew all the secret corridors and passages and different things to like take you anywhere. And yeah, I I loved it. But I worked in the, like I said, the main tower, the Cancer Institute. I worked in the Ortho. Excuse me, had a little yaw. I worked in the Heart Tower. So we had this whole beautiful building for all, you know, there was what four floors, five floors, four, four floors over there for the heart tower. The very top of the heart tower, they had this rehabilitation unit. So it was like the the the like there was windows, windows all over this whole top floor, right? And it was like this workout center where they would monitor people after heart surgery or you know, anything involving their heart, really, but they were uh monitoring them and having them run on like treadmills or like exercise bikes and just checking how they were recovering. I thought that was a super cool place. I really liked going up there. Fifth floor? Was that the fifth floor? Were there six floors? And I don't know. It's a little f blurry right now. That was three years ago, right? Three years ago, actually, at the end of this month, will be three years since I've left Parkview. That's crazy how much how much how time has flown. Absolutely bonkers, really. Thinking about it now. But yeah, I loved working on the Heart Tower, the whole Heart Tower. I really liked working. My favorite place over there was prep recovery for the people who were, you know, either getting their clients ready for surgery or after surgery on that unit. They were just some amazing people. Like everybody every every person that I met in this entire facility was just awesome, right? Like, like I that's the that's the thing that I loved them the most about Parkview. Whether it was a cafeteria worker, whether it was somebody who like salts the sidewalks, or whether it was a nurse, or whether it was even a doctor, you know, they were the absolute coolest people. And, you know, I there were some people who are little sticks in the mud, sure. You know, you'll have those anywhere you work. But generally speaking, everybody was super nice. So underneath the well, down on the main floor of the heart tower, there was like a lot of different offices in there, a lot of different cardiology offices, and I loved rounding with them as well. I would like visit the phone nurses, and it was just a blast. And I really love those units. But my I think one of my more favorite units that I I worked in, you know, I love the Cancer Institute. Cancer Institute's probably top dog, but a second close top dog, right? If there had to be even, you know, two dogs in a in a room, I don't know, would be women as women and children's, the women and children's hospital, you know, with with mom and baby land, and then we had uh the pediatric units, and then we also had the NICU units. Those were some of my favorites, and then post post-delivery as well, right? So we had like the the birthing units, and then we had mama baby, and like I said, the NICU, and then the pediatric unit was that was there as well. And I loved visiting the these nurses, and it was so cool. I love visiting like L and D, labor and delivery, because they would just like light up, like like they'd be like, Oh my god, Joel's here. There'd be like this little thunderous applause, or like, like, oh, Joel's here, Joel's on the floor, Joel's here, right? There's like this buzz and excitement, just like, you know, and like they're like I would roll up to one of their nursing stations, and there might be like, you know, 12 nurses right there, and all of a sudden they all just like line up in their chairs. They're like, All right, like we're all ready, you know. So I would just I would spend some good time there, and I'd be working on these nurses and like talking to them and listening to their stories, laughing with them. Gosh, they uh, you know, I love nurses because they have some like dark humor, but they're really, you know, really just average people. Just they're they and they were they work so well together. Like the teamwork is crazy, you know. I I only spent a little bit of time on that unit, you know, uh, you know, uh twice a week. You know, I I would always try to always hit them up because I know how intense it is for labor and delivery, you know, and I know that they really appreciated me rounding on them, you know. Some of them took candy, some of them took hand lotion, but a lot of them did get massages, so that was really nice. And I I miss I miss them so so much, you know. I I miss feeling important like that. You know, it's it's it's so weird to think like how three years have gone by and like I have this little office now in just Ohio, you know, I'm no longer in Fort Wayne, and it's it's weird how it's changed. Like I felt so important when I worked there. You know, I I felt like every day I went in, I was like, I have a purpose, I have a goal. You know, I couldn't even make it through the parking lot without somebody being like, hey Joel, how you doing? You know, and like wanting to have a good interaction with me. And I love smiling at work and I loved I loved getting all my steps in. My gosh. I in an eight-hour step, like in an eight-hour shift, there could be some times I would get about 20,000 steps in a shift. And I was just always moving and I always was dynamic, but I always listened to my body, you know, if I needed to take time or like go chill somewhere, quiet. There's a couple different like meditation rooms or quiet spaces that I would just go and I would sit for a few minutes, collect myself. I would meditate sometimes. I would like take my shoes off, I'd I'd lay some rugs down, get like some blocks or something, like yoga blocks, and lay there and just kind of like melt a little bit and like resolve some tension. Because as I round, like it gets a little intense, right? And I I love being around people, but there would be a come there would become a time where excuse me, another yon, where I just had to kind of chill for a little bit, get my bearings with me. When you're in a hospital like full of people, like it's hard to find quiet spaces, but I was able to find them, and I knew where some really cool spaces were. So on the heart tower, you go up to the fifth fifth floor, it's like where all the physicians' offices are, and it's like the this the headquarters for like the heart tower and stuff, like like all those big dogs who were up there. And they had like some of the really biggest bathrooms and all the facilities. So I would go up there and I would chill, or I would go down to this little meditation spot, or there's a spot kind of like down underneath the core tower where they were like working on like a bottom level floor, and there was always a lot of construction there at the time, so nobody really went down there except me. So I would just take like a like a little hidden elevator and I would go down there and I would just chill, right? But I I was I was a hard worker and I really loved that job, and I really miss those people. You know, every now and then I'll have somebody message me and they'd be like, Yeah, Joel, can we get a code lavender? I'm like, I'm 40 minutes away and I have a full schedule. Like, I'm sorry another going. But, you know, that that that means something to me that almost three years later, you know, people are still thinking about me and like they they miss when I would round and and I would come help them. You know, another part of the job that I did with that aspect was every now and then I would have to do either like debriefings, you know. So a debriefing would be like if if something kind of heavy happened, especially, you know, what comes to mind is sitting with a lot of NICU nurses after they had had a fetal demise, and you know, just holding space for them. Some of them would get massaged, some of them would just, you know, be happy that I would be there is like a symbol, you know, it was like an icon. So when people saw Code Lavender coming down the the hallway, people just instantly like felt a sigh of relief. Sorry, another y'all it was awesome. I I totally loved it. You know, absolutely loved it. You know, sometimes it got heavy. Sometimes I had to have conversations with employees that were just so upset and so stressed, you know, like doctors would lay into them and like like just like you know, make them feel small or like un not valued or not seen, right? And that's that's hard in a caretak caretaking facility. You know what I mean? If if somebody's putting you down because like you got them the wrong instrument or the wrong tool or maybe weren't fast enough or whatever. So so somebody with like an entitled personality would put you down, you know. That that really that really hinders the love of health care when that happens to somebody, you know? And it's hard. So that was what I did. Goodness, I'm so sorry. We're in the yawns, I guess. I don't know why. It is one o'clock, and I've been up since six. I've been up moving and grooving and exercising hardcore since six, so maybe it's nap time. I don't know. But I got three more people on my schedule yet today, so no naps for Joel. But yeah, that's a little bit about what I did, and I I truly loved that job. I absolutely loved it. Like I said, it was one of my favorite jobs that I've ever held. And I'm not I'm not really one to hold a hold a lot of jobs. I don't I don't I have learned since leaving Parkview that I really don't like working for anybody else because nobody else is gonna have my dreams, my goals, my visions, and be able to do it like I do it, you know, nobody. And it's been great. It's been great being my own boss, but that's the job that I'm like, man, you know, if I could just do that all the time, I would love it. And the crummy thing was that at Center for Healthy Living, the manager over there and then the supervisor over there, supervisors, managers, silly, silly, silly people, they like to keep people in boxes. That's the thing about Parkview, and that's why I didn't do well at Parkview. I mean, I did well in the retrospect of this other job because I wasn't boxed in, you know, I had free reign, I was my own boss. If I want to be like, okay, hey, it's Friday, I'm gonna go spend all day at the Cancer Institute making sure they're taken care of because people wouldn't always go over there, right? So I would. So I just, you know, I prioritized what I knew needed where I needed. Sometimes I'd spend a lot of time in ortho, sometimes I go to women and children, sometimes I go to the main floor, sometimes I'd be all over them, right? And then maybe in a in one unit or one one shift, I would be all over the place, right? Who knows? But anyway, oh gosh. The management at Center for Healthy Living did not like that. I had two different jobs, okay. HR HR had a kind of a little fit about it. They're like, oh, how do we how do we understand this, right? And they're on a weird system, they're on like this point system, right? And I still really don't understand it. And as you know, as since it's been a while, I've kind of forgotten how it works, and I really don't care because it's stupid. But they they they point you based on how many hours you work, right? So at this time, I was working about 36 to 38 hours, right? Which is like a I don't even know. I can't even remember the stupid point system anyway. It doesn't matter. matter. It's just kind of a way that people organize people in giant corporate things, right? Anyway, so, but anyway, I was basically working enough hours to have appointed position. Okay. So when you're a pointed position, if you work so many hours, you basically get insurance. Okay. And I was working above that, right? To be able to qualify for insurance. But they didn't allow it because I was working two different jobs, two different job codes. So it wasn't one job is like, you know, 30, 30 some hours, and then the other job is so many hours, right? They couldn't comprehend that. You know, it was too much for them to understand, right? Because they're too big of a corporation, they can't understand a small, easy concept. Okay. That's what happened. So for that four years, I was basically denied any kind of growth. You know, anytime I would talk to the manager, I'd be like, look, I'm doing this, this, this, right. And there was a point in time when I was getting my Bachelor's of Science in holistic health to eventually flip over and work for the Cancer Institute to start a program for bringing integrative medicine to oncology. Right. Now I would probably have flipped that over into more of a mind-body approach to medicine because it's really needed. And right now in the realms of cancer research, there's actually a lot of evidence pointing to the use of energy medicine. So Reiki, right? I also practice Reiki, but Reiki and sound and vibration healing on the body. And they're having amazing results from this work. It's crazy right now what science is actually pointing us to that like a lot of like consciousness healers and stuff have known for centuries, right? Probably right even yogic theories and stuff like that have all talked about energy Chinese traditional Chinese medicine thousands and thousands of years old have all talked about these concepts and it's only now where modern science is like oh yeah guess that's real you know to make it applicable right whatever digestible for these corporate systems that have to have all these things. Anyway it's kind of like believing in Santa Claus. You know what I mean? Like like you don't have to believe in Santa Claus for your gifts to appear on Christmas morning. You know what I mean? But yeah, I don't know where that little tangent went. That kind of took me off off course and out of my ADHD brain. But but yeah like so that that was what I did prior to starting my practice. And then in 2022 Yeah yeah in 2022 in October of 2022 I had somebody reach out to me and they had an interest in getting me into their office involved with their office to do like contract work as a massage therapist under their business. That lady turned out to be extremely shady and yeah I had to get away from that one. She was so shady that I had created my LLC right to protect myself as a business right uh doing the legal ethical thing and I created my own LLC and I went to go talk to her about that and be like hey I've created my own LLC I want to protect myself as an end of like as a a business right and I want to create my own business and all this cool stuff right and she ended up opening my mail okay federal offense ladies and gentlemen but she ended up opening my mail and it was like one of those those when you start a business you get junk mail from different organizations that make you think that you need a thing right so like that's what she opened and she's like holistic wizard wellness what's that and was just kind of like a a a bitch about it right and we'll call it what it is. But anyway she got a hold of that opened my mail and she's like what's this and like was really confrontational about it about it. So you know what do you do? You tell the truth right so I told her what was going on and what I'd like to do and how I wanted to switch from like this weird percentage thing that we had working going on where it actually kind of screwed her over too she didn't realize it she was just so new at like trying to like hire somebody else and all this stuff. Anyway she ended up getting screwed over but I I I wanted to just pay her flat rent so that way she didn't dictate like how I did business and stuff like that and I could actually start doing my own thing right that turned into a weird mess. But anyway she basically fired me on the spot and she's like you have like two weeks to pack up your shit and go and I was like you know and so after that is when I was like okay I really want to have my own business now I'm I'm getting some of my own clients in I need to let this park view thing go and then transition over. So I let my I let part of Parkview go or something. Anyway I let something go and then I transitioned so I opened my own office it was it was a lovely office in Fort Wayne. I do miss it. So I I holistic wizard well was full on hardcore so we were running with that and I had an office there and I was also working at Parkview. Not maybe not as much I was like pulling away a little bit but you know I think in another episode I've talked about where you know I was working towards this integrative medicine thing at the Cancer Institute and it was all ready to go I saw how much money I would make I saw that I would finally have a job where I was making insurance and I was going to be paid fat money right and it all fell apart on me and basically my feelings got hurt right and after that I was like you know what I'm not working for you clowns anymore. If you want to dawdle around and like waste your time your energy and effort on somebody who actually gives two shits about people and wants to see people feel better not through a corporate cog y'all lost me right so I left and I've been doing my own thing ever since. So it's been a good run. It's been a good road I've I've actually learned so much more as being my own boss than the time that I was spending at Parkview or even when I was going to school for my bachelor's of science right and I've I've talked maybe before about when I I got my bachelor's of science because I initially wanted to do go into and get my mental health and counseling to blend bod with counseling. And then I kind of found out that that's not really a thing. It's kind of a little frowned upon and then it it hit me that I can still do somatoemotion release work underneath my bodywork scope of practice and we're all well and good. So I ended up dropping that but I still wanted my bachelor's so I finished my bachelor degree and I like I said I was going to get this job at the Cancer Institute to bring integrative medicine to both staff and patients there. And I would have implemented craniocral therapy somatoemotion release and then I would have also I was working on building a program they didn't know this but I was working on building a program for them where they could start doing like psilocybin therapy for people who are in palliative care for end of life to address some things at the end of their life so that way they can die happier, right? Is what it was okay I have a really keen interest in palliative medicine and a lot of the research that has been done with psilocybin therapy different things is being used and treated on both the east and west coast in palliative hospitals and the results are amazing and people are getting finally lasting relief at the end of their life to come to terms with a lot of things that have maybe been hard or tumultuous throughout their life right and I wanted to bring that to Parkview and I knew it was going to be like a 10 year project plan but I was in the infancy of creating that for them. But they had no idea because they dinked around and due to budget cuts they had to let me go. Right. And honestly if I probably would have kept on that trajectory they probably would have just let me go anyway due to budget cuts and because like you know you know I'm not a surgical oncologist who's going to be be bringing fat money to them by doing surgery or you know doing you know anything like that right or you know meds and stuff. Anyway this has been a long episode right 30 minutes we've we've chatted about this but I I really wanted to give it its its good time because I I really love the holistic response team and code lavender and you know my time at Parkview. It's it was it was a really big expansive amazing time for me and I love it and I miss every single person. You know I had a lot of people who were clients who were coming over a lot of like nurse practitioners some doctors a lot of MAs and some nurses right and I loved it. Even people who would work in like the blood bank or you know different satellite offices stuff like that. So really good people bottom line is Parkview is full of amazing people with like the biggest hearts for caring and for wanting to make a difference in the world right it it just comes down to the fact that now their CEO is just this like money greedy little snot right from what I've been hearing. So that's unfortunate you know the the last guy he was super nice and like this new guy took over and you know now they have like crappier forks because all of these millionaires at the top of their nonprofit refuse to like let themselves go because they know that they're the problem right at the top right think crap trickles downhill and but anyway you have all these people at the top who are making millions of dollars right this is this public knowledge right you can go on and Google it but they're making literal millions of dollars at the top right and and because they refuse to like take less pay because they're they're greedy greedy people you know everybody else suffers so now they have these really cheap forks from what one nurse was telling me not too long ago in their cafeteria because of all this stuff because these they keep opening new businesses they want to expand they want to grow it's crazy stuff right but it's all part of all that stuff right anyway corporate health is icky but yeah anyway that was today's episode I hope you guys enjoyed that I hope you guys liked hearing a little bit of the history behind what I was doing prior to starting this my practice now holistic wizard wellness and now fields my buddy therapies but yeah that's it that's it guys thank you all for listening and tuning in today I hope you guys really take care of yourselves and like be well to each other I'm when you're hearing this Friday morning I'm gonna I'm gonna pre-schedule this but as you guys are hearing this I'm gonna be starting new training I'm gonna be in training all weekend long it's Friday Saturday and Sunday so my weekend's gonna be like train training all weekend that's the name of the game I'm so excited for it it's to help people with post traumatic stress and limiting beliefs stopping that stuff up to 90% of efficacy after one session one two visits right powerful powerful stuff and I'm so super excited to be bringing this to my people anybody who's really needing some help and assistance because this is the cool stuff right and it works over Zoom.
