How did a Harvard trained medical scientist become a mystic? In reality it was the other way around. At the age of 10 Joan experienced 6 months of an alternate reality what modern psychiatry would label psychosis and obsessive compulsive disorder. One day while praying fervently for help all fear and confusion parted to reveal a luminous reality of exquisite love surpassing peace and practical wisdom that guided her to an almost instantaneous recovery. Her journey to hell and back birthed a lifelong fascination with healing the roots of consciousness and the realm of Spirit. Weaving together biology psychology and spirituality in a credible accessible way is her soul's purpose.
