Clear, concise, physiological based information with an immediate impact on how to asses, troubleshoot and communicate with people struggling with ANS dysfunctions. The class brings messy, complicated cases with years of struggles into a simplified, systematic perspective and is the best form of patient advocacy I have witnessed with ANS dysfunctions. Highly recommend for every practitioner who wants to serve people at a deep level and for those who want to specialize with ANS dysfunctions.

Amazing "ANS Dysregulation" Given by 3 Amazing Testimonialist-Instructors
I attended this week-end's (9/11-12/26) ANS Dysregulation presentation (with Lorri, Ahn & Dr. Sarah) and I can't compliment them enough. It was a lot of complex material to cover, but they did an amazing job!!! However, the most impressive aspect was that these 3 women have actually lived these conditions . . . and further, they themselves researched their conditions which transformed them from suffering "disability" to being functional AND now sharing their testimonies to educate providers to help others (sounds familiar - Dr. Z!!!). I suspect that the sharing of each personal testimony will help better cement this complex info for better retention and recall. Truly amazing women! Truly an amazing subject of study! Truly an exceptional presentation!! "THANK YOU" Lorri, Ahn and Dr. Sarah. I'm so sorry that you all have had to walk that path, but you took the lemons that life handed you and made lemonade that is now the blessing that will help many other patients. Thank you!!! 🫶❤️🫶

Impressive teachings on the complexity…
Impressive teachings on the complexity of what entails dysautonomia clients that are more often than not complex cases. The reasoning through each part of what needs to be considered before even starting to help the clients was a big take away, as well as always asking certain questions while working with these clients due that many systems shift and also does the approach to help support the current state. It was specially helpful to not only learn each type of dysautonomia on its own but have 3 real complex cases presented by practitioners that are living this daily and spoke from own experience and current applications. I can't wait to see and apply all what will be provided in the toolkit to use with our own clients. I also want to say that these certifications really help dig into own recognition of symptoms/diagnosis and approaches. I could personally relate with much of what was shared and learned how they're interconnected. It made me realize how much more I still don't know and continue learning for my own health and to better equip myself and help my clients. Big thank you to and shout out to Lorri, Ahna and Sarah for their vulnerability to share from their stories and bring so much awareness, knowledge and practical applications to the table with this certification. The whole team has provided invaluable teachings that show the dedication, resilience and persistence to life. Thank you!! My mind gets blown away but each times its more that the prior. Incredible support. I love how FMA its constantly leveling up.

After 21 months in this mentorship
After 21 months in this mentorship, I continue to be blown away by the amount and quality of relevant, practical material available and how much it has helped me grow as a practitioner. I only wish there were five more of me so I could absorb, implement, and fully utilize everything being offered! Every new course leaves me thinking, “This is where I need to focus next,” because I can immediately see the potential for lasting impact on my patients.

Building the Healthcare System we've Been Missing
As a surgical trauma ICU nurse, one of the things I appreciate most about Dr. Z’s program is that it speaks to all healers and healthcare practitioners. It encourages us to take what we know and use it in new ways to help people more effectively.
To me, this is part of how we begin revamping our current fragmented sick-care model into a more comprehensive approach focused on staying healthy, building resilience, and preventing disease.
We are given an incredible amount of clinical knowledge in nursing and medical school, but very few of us are taught how to build a practice, market our services, use technology and social media, or communicate what we have to offer to the people who need it. Yet these skills are becoming increasingly important.
We live in a world where information is readily available. The challenge is no longer simply having knowledge. It is knowing how to bring that knowledge together, apply it effectively, reach people, and create something meaningful with it.
Dr. Z’s Bootcamp and program provide many of those missing tools. They encourage practitioners to take action, build their own practices, and recognize that with the right guidance and support, creating a successful practice is possible.
This is the kind of education I wish we were exposed to in nursing and medical school. We have been given the knowledge to care for people, but we also need the tools to bring that knowledge into the world in new and meaningful ways.
Thank you, Dr. Z. 🙏 I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and seeing where this experience takes me.
