Dr. Karen Kan was a family doctor who tried to be “everything to everyone”, working exclusively with medically underserved populations, until she succumbed to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Having been trained in acupuncture, she sought the help of other natural healers, nutritionists, and spiritual teachers in order to heal her incurable condition. Through her journey of self-healing, she was able to integrate some of the best teachings available world-wide and share them with her patients, thus healing them as well as herself. Her #1 Amazon bestseller, Guide to Healing Chronic Pain – A Holistic Approach invites the reader to perceive their pain as an opportunity for transformation – mind, body, and soul.
