About your teacher:  I’m a South African trained Clinical Psychologist, and author of 3 books (one featured in O).  I’ve been fortunate enough to  have had my views expressed in many magazines (everything from Reader’s Digest to Men’s Health), TV and radio.  I’m an award-winning speaker who has presented workshops and seminars internationally.  I have been invited onto the peer panel for the South African Journal of Psychology as well as the  Advisory boards of Shape magazine and the South African Journal for Natural Medicine and SANEP (South African Nutrition Expert Panel) as their consulting psychologist, and Metropolitan Health as a health partner.  I’m also a total research junkie.  Ever since I discovered medical and psychological journals, I’ve been nibble-noshing a steady diet of them.  I like to read em, digest em and spit em out in new and interesting ways.
