Workshop Topic - Total Body Restoration: A deep dive into the gut-brain connection
I never fit into the traditional “box” of medicine. And pretty quickly after finishing residency, I realized that I was simply a cog in the wheel of big business medicine & disease management. So I jumped off the treadmill of 10 minute visits to pursue my dream of being a healer. Instead of trying to fit into the current system, I decided to create my own. And I would love YOU to help me do this! It takes work and commitment and it IS worth it! I have seen sooo many kids get thousands of dollars worth of testing, x-rays, procedures, and surgeries, and the underlying cause of their symptoms can often be traced back to something they are eating. Things like dairy, gluten, and the Standard American Diet (SAD) of processed foods and not enough fruits and vegetables. We cannot feed our children chemicals and expect them to be healthy. Join me in creating a health plan for your child and family that works! I am a board certified pediatrician and I also trained with Andrew Weil, MD at the University of Arizona in integrative medicine. I work with families to find the root cause of illness using natural and nutritional therapies whenever possible in treating things such as: colic, reflux, eczema, recurrent ear infections, recurrent sinus infections, asthma, allergies, stomach and GI issues like constipation and abdominal pain, ADHD and sensory integration disorder. I have also created many live and on-line courses for parents in addition to seeing individual patients. Infinite Health: www.sheilakilbane.com |
Tracy Latz, M.D., M.S.Workshop Topic Spiritual Keys to Mystical Healing: Harnessing the Power of your Etheric Field (Click Here to Read More) |
Tracy grew up as a natural intuitive in eastern and central North Carolina with an intense love of nature and a curiosity about the inner life of cells - but she took her spiritual journey further down the rabbit hole following a health crisis in 2001. It was at that point that she chose to expand her previous education in cellular biology, immunology, western medicine, and psychotherapy to include metaphysical and spiritual training at an Ancient Mystery School. As she integrated all that she had learned, she began to fully understand the spiritual and metaphysical keys to soul-directed, mystical transformation of both health-related and global issues. Now her goal is to not only share all of the wisdom that she has gathered with others - but to assist others with learning it much more quickly than she did. She has a knack for opening doorways or portals to help jump-start or take to the next level your metaphysical or spiritual journey.
Tracy Latz is a cell biologist, intuitive, metaphysical teacher and integrative psychiatrist. She holds a masters degree in immunobiology and doctorates in holistic healing, metaphysics, complementary, alternative and Western medicine. Tracy is certified in intuitive development, hypnotherapy, medical qigong, crystal healing, mind-body medicine, homeopathy, Entura art, and energy medicine from accredited programs. She teaches locally and internationally through Shift Your Life® and the Shift Your Life® Mystery School (Now Online Classes too). Tracy also sits on the Earthing Advisory Board for the Earthing Institute. She has appeared on various local and nationally syndicated radio shows as well as an expert on portals on William Shatner's Weird or What? television show; and she has co-authored with Marion Ross 3 books on personal and entrepreneurial transformation, produced >70 YouTube instructional videos, meditation CD's and instructional DVDs.

Rev. Rebecca Nagy |
An Inspirational Speaker, Spiritual Director, Meditation Coach, and Spiritual Teacher, Reverend Rebecca was named Senior Minister/Spiritual Leader of Spiritual Light Center of Charlotte in February 2014. She is committed to developing programs that focus on bringing into all areas of our lives and communities spiritual principles and ethics grounded in Unity Principles and enriched by the Ageless Wisdom Teachings of both East and West.
Rebecca spent the first 25 years of her career in the fashion industry, where she was a Fashion Director, Merchandiser, Designer and Divisional Private Brands Manager for Divisions of Federated and May Co. Department Stores, Kmart International, and Belk Stores Services. It was her position as the National Training Director for the Singles Division of Jerrell Inc. that led to her interest in the training of spiritually based leaders for the 21st century. As a result, Rebecca left her 25-year fashion career in 1998 to pursue her ever-growing inspirational speaking and teaching career. That decision was based on her first-hand experience in the global marketplace, where she saw the need to combine her spiritual training with her experience in corporate America. Her goal is to use that integration to help shift the old paradigms of power and control to the emerging paradigms of ethics and spiritual principles in all aspects of our lives, not just in our churches, synagogues, and temples. www.SLCofCharlotte.org |
Marion Ross, Ph.DWorkshop Topic Spiritual Keys to Mystical Healing: Harnessing the Power of your Etheric Field (Click Here to Read More) |
After spending the first 30 years of her adult life focused on licensing corporate trademarks, fashion designers, patents and building businesses around the world , Marion felt that there must be more to life than striving to be a perfect type A over-achiever. A series of health related issues, intuitive realizations and synchronicities led her to her next stage of life into the Metaphysical and Healing realm where she learned to look within and found her purpose in teaching people tools for Self Realization and Empowerment.
This new path began at Delphi University where Marion finally learned the difference between thoughts and feelings and that it was clearly more joyful to live from the heart and not the head. She was determined to continue to raise her consciousness and share this newfound wisdom with her left-brained friends and anyone who would listen. Marion’s students describe her as a Yang style dynamo of information. But being type A she studied endlessly to find enough tools to resonate with everyone whose path crossed hers - and eventually incorporated right-brained approaches to reach others via a teaching collaborative effort with Tracy Latz. Marion holds a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology and Complementary and Alternative Medical Therapies and an RhD in RoHun Spiritual Psychotherapy from Delphi, and is certified in intuitive development, hypnotherapy, medical qigong, sound healing, crystal healing, mind-body medicine, Entura Art, homeopathy and energy medicine from accredited programs. For the past 12 years Marion has been in private practice as a psychotherapist in New York and Paris. Together with Dr. Tracy Latz they have written 3 books in both personal and entrepreneurial transformation (one a #1 bestseller on Amazon), taught seminars on various topics at local gatherings as well as national and international professional conferences, produced 75 YouTube instructional videos, meditation CD¹s and instructional DVD¹s. Through Shift Your Life® Mystery School (now with ONLINE teaching), Shift Your Life® website and other products for transformation they promote, Marion and Tracy are reaching people around the world and giving them tools and techniques for self healing and raising Global Consciousness. www.shiftyourlife.com |
