An inspiring and empowering guide to emotional freedom, from a Naturopathic Doctor who took charge of her own life and mental health.

“This book should be on the shelves of every person struggling with their moods.” Dr. Jonathan Prousky, ND, author of the Textbook of Integrative Clinical Nutrition
