Our mission

I've spent my career at the intersection of places most people keep separate: the clinic and the chapel, the textbook and the bedside, the anatomy lab and the grief room. That unusual territory — medicine, theology, psychology, and caregiving all in conversation — is where I've done my deepest work, and it's what every one of my schools reflects.
My teaching philosophy is simple: complexity deserves clarity, and every learner deserves to be treated like an intelligent adult. Whether I'm walking a PA student through pharmacokinetic principles or helping a family caregiver understand what sundowning actually looks like at 2 a.m., I try to make the difficult genuinely graspable — not dumbed down, but well-lit. I build courses the way I wish I'd been taught: structured, specific, and always anchored to what you'll actually do with the knowledge.
The range of my schools isn't an accident. A death doula needs emotional skill and clinical awareness. A dementia caregiver needs practical tools and spiritual resilience. A PA student needs board-ready pharmacology and the art of a patient interview. Real life doesn't honor disciplinary silos, and neither do I.
If any of these schools speak to where you are right now — whether you're studying for the PANCE, sitting with a loved one in memory care, exploring Wesleyan theology, or trying to understand your own dreams — I'd be glad to be your guide. Come in, take your time, and let's do serious work together.
