Thea’s teaching voice both whispers and shouts of her experience and wisdom, giving me the supportive nourishment to keep asking the better questions. Those questions are… within myself… with my patients… with life itself. These works encourage me. They remind me of why I want to be a practitioner, still, after 20 years. They also explain so much of what I have already encountered and what could be yet to come. These writings help me value my own capacity to deepen, to be still, to bring forth an open heart for medicine that is not always curative but yet transformative and loving.
