For years my clients, colleagues & friends suggested I write about living joyfully with chronic pain & restrictive medical diets. I am a licensed clinical social worker (CA LCS 27100) and meditator ordained in the Zen Buddhist lineage of Shunryu Suzuki, Roshi. Assisting people impacted by life-changing illness, chronic pain conditions and medical situations requiring extensive management is central to my work.
::: I am not a medical provider and I do not give medical advice. Nothing I write is intended as a substitute for appropriate evaluation & treatment. If you are ill, have unmanaged or undiagnosed pain, or having difficulty maintaining a healthy weight, please talk to someone qualified to address your needs as soon as possible. :::
