Occupation:
We are a big jumble of skills and experience. We’ve worked as photographers, writers, IT professionals, filmmakers, actors, editors, bartenders and small business managers. Today The Gastown Gazette kind of works as a co-op. We pitch in where and when we can, or are needed. Most days Jeff handles the photography and edits, Dani writes the Gastowners series and Gastown Style, Kim holds the team together, and Andy pontificates and publishes. What unites us is a passion for telling a great story, contributing to the community, and helping people understand the unique challenges, potential and incredible beauty of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

How long have you been a Vancouverite? 9 years (wow!)
Occupation:
I’ve been practicing family medicine for 20 years. After the first five years in traditional allopathic medicine, I began my search for alternative remedies. I am also a mind-body medicine coach, yoga teacher, meditation teacher and certified medical intuitive.
I currently take my strong knowledge base in Western Medicine combined with alternative medicine to help people get to the root of their disease. Through the marriage of these disciplines, I am able to work with clients, and guide and empower them on their healing journey. My primary focus is to help patients integrate that state of wellness inside of them. My job is to teach, guide and show my patients the paths that will allow them to heal and create greater wellness from the inside out.
