More about Dr. Russell Kennedy:
As a physician, neuroscience expert, somatic intuitive, certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and a professional stand-up comedian who struggled with crippling anxiety for decades and has finally healed…I’m here to personally guide you through non-traditional treatments for anxiety. Because, let’s be honest, traditional methods have had their chance — and they just don’t work long term. Using a combination of neuroscience, somatic work and psychedelics, I’ve uncovered a brand new way of approaching and healing anxiety in myself and my patients. Instead of your anxiety completely controlling you, I will show you how to completely control your anxiety.
