Bert Fellows, MA As a former Peace Corps Volunteer in Bolivia, SA, Bert is no stranger to working under challenging circumstances in another culture.

Christopher Lowman
A social entrepreneur and humanitarian, with a decade of experience, Christopher has focused his passion for service and compassionate care into a dynamic career path blending natural forms of medicine and high level business consulting.
With law school plans at a prestigious university underway and internships lined up, Christopher experienced a major turning point in 2000 after visiting an Ayurvedic doctor in London. His view of the world was radically transformed by the understanding that everything we typically seek in the outside world (love, security, power, etc.) can, in fact, be derived from within our own selves.
This led to his involvement with the inner growth disciplines of Jin Shin Jyutsu, Yoga, and Family Constellation Work, while simultaneously building his experience in business consulting with start-up enterprises and a Fortune 500 corporation.
