Debi’s journey in health began in 1973 when her mother was stricken with late-onset MS. At the time, she was just a mere 15 years old. Within a very short time, she became her 24-hour primary caregiver, caring for her personal needs as well as managing the household. This life-altering experience, at such a young age, taught Debi resilience and compassion, which she carried into her medical career. Within her grew the unshakable drive to understand and improve health as well as advocate for patients and their right to proper care.   In 1987, Debi was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which was only the beginning of a cascade of rare and difficult diagnoses to follow. For 21 years, she trusted doctors to be her sole health advocates. In 2015, they abruptly abandoned her in treating her pain with no concern for the impact on her physical and mental health. Debi’s chronic pain was endless and from this point, she continued to accumulate a myriad of health conditions.   However, little did she understand at the time but their rejection was her opportunity to regain sovereignty over her own health and well-being. Their refusal led Debi to meet and learn about the Endocannabinoid System, and through years of research and study, she not only regained the will to live but also the strength and endurance to flourish. Medical Cannabis became the key to reclaiming her life. Not only did it assist her in eliminating her reliance on opioids and 24 other pharmaceuticals, but it also brought unexpected improvements to her severe COPD and Pulmonary MAC lung disease.   Debi is now a victor in health as she has had no new diagnoses since beginning Cannabinoid Therapeutics and living a life she never thought she would see again. Learning how to incorporate Medical Cannabis into her complex medical treatment plan opened the opportunity to discover what medical advancements are truly possible. Currently, Debi speaks from experience to advocate for safe, quality Medical Cannabis access for all through the education she provides.

Dr. Sandra E. Cohen began her career as a clinical psychologist in the 1970s, working in psychiatric hospitals. Those hospitalized, without exception, suffered childhood trauma. She saw the devastation of trauma firsthand. The complexities of how trauma affects any one person are not easy to unravel. Witnessing the long-term effects of childhood trauma well into adulthood made her determined to perfect her skills and specialize in helping traumatized people heal. Dr. Cohen has been in private practice for over forty years as both a psychologist and psychoanalyst. She became certified as a psychoanalyst to gain training in uncovering the unconscious roots of how trauma affects adult lives. She is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Psychoanalytic Center of California, where she has served as Dean. Dr. Cohen’s psychoanalytic training has given her the skills to help patients work through their trauma. She specializes in treating those who’ve been sexually and physically abused and severely neglected and who come to see her with persistent depression, anxiety and panic, dissociative states, eating disorders, problems with self-esteem, attachment difficulties, and struggles with love. She has written book chapters and numerous blog pieces about the effects of childhood trauma and is currently completing a non-fiction manuscript. This book focuses on how a traumatized child is forced to cope when starved of love and the ways problems with love continue into adulthood. This writing was inspired by years of experience seeing traumatized patients in therapy. At the core of their problems are difficulties with love: believing they are unlovable and unworthy, feeling self-hate for needing love, and shutting down emotionally due to fear of rejection. Dr. Cohen has written this manuscript for those who have not yet been understood and are looking for answers about why they continue to struggle with love.

Andy is a certified naturopath specialized in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), dedicated to supporting individuals on their healing journey through acupuncture and integrative healing modalities. His work focuses on acute and chronic physical as well as emotional pain, combining physical treatment with emotional and energetic alignment to address both symptoms and the deeper patterns connected to them. Over the years, he has developed his own therapeutic approach designed to create movement within the healing process while delivering tangible and immediate results. More than 80% of his clients experience noticeable improvement during their first session. His treatments are rooted in the understanding that physical discomfort and emotional pain are deeply interconnected, and that sustainable transformation requires addressing both simultaneously. Throughout his career, Andy has worked with a broad spectrum of patients, including professional athletes, artists, retreat participants, and individuals seeking to improve their overall health, resilience, emotional well-being, and inner balance. His ability to combine practical results with emotional awareness and energetic alignment has made his work especially valuable for people looking for a holistic and transformative approach to healing. Unlike many practitioners who define themselves as “healers,” Andy believes that healing can only come from within the individual. In his view, the role of the practitioner is not to heal someone, but to guide, support, and ignite the spark that allows the healing process to unfold naturally. For him, healing is the process, while health is the outcome — a state of calmness, balance, inner harmony, and freedom from physical disturbance. A central part of his philosophy is the belief that a practitioner’s own energy and lifestyle directly influence the quality of support they can offer others. Inspired by principles of energetic alignment and the law of attraction, he believes practitioners must cultivate harmony within themselves in order to effectively guide others toward transformation and well-being. Based in Switzerland, Andy also practices internationally in Dubai and collaborates with organizations hosting transformational retreats and wellness experiences. His work combines TCM, acupuncture, spiritual awareness, and energetic cultivation to create a healing environment where individuals feel safe, understood, and supported with renewed hope for recovery and personal growth.

Toure` Akela Ra is the founder of Southwest Atlanta Yoga and the SWAY Yoga Foundation, and the creator of Metaphysical Hatha Yoga® (MHY®), an alignment-based system that integrates breath mechanics, subtle-body awareness, and sound to cultivate disciplined self-mastery and energetic coherence. A U.S. Army veteran with a professional background in healthcare informatics, she brings a rare synthesis of structure, science, and spiritual philosophy to the modern yoga landscape. Beginning her practice in 2003 and undergoing a profound transformation in 2016, Toure` refined her work into a methodology that does not chase energy, but instead builds the body’s capacity to hold it. She is a graduate of the University of Metaphysics in Sedona and is ordained through the International Metaphysical Ministry, with additional ministry credentials through the Universal Life Church. An E-RYT 500 and YACEP® with Yoga Alliance, Toure` has led multiple 200-hour teacher trainings since 2019 and developed a 300-hour advanced training intentionally outside conventional frameworks to preserve depth, rigor, and philosophical integrity. Her work bridges classical Hatha Yoga with a modern metaphysical lens, emphasizing breath regulation, nervous system resilience, and what she defines as “energetic hygiene.” Trauma-informed and community-centered, she has guided Yoga Nidra, somatic recovery, and sound-based practices for underserved populations, including survivors of violence, through her nonprofit initiatives. Her leadership has been recognized with inclusion in Marquis Who’s Who in America. Through her teaching, writing, and public work, Toure` continues to position yoga not as performance, but as a disciplined path of embodied awareness, ethical structure, and sovereign self-development.
