FAQs
What’s your most-used emoji and what does it say about you?
Hands making a heart (just love that one) and all my patients will see that and others in messages I sent them.
How do you stay grounded when life gets chaotic?

What’s one lesson you’ve learned recently that changed your perspective?

Snacks and plasters – I am boy mom.
