Sarah Bamford Seidelmann - Swimming with Elephants

Imagine this scenario. You come from a long line of physicians. You follow the family tradition, study medicine and practice for twenty years. But something is missing. Something does not feel right. Something does not feel good about what you are doing and the way you are doing it. You take a leave from your practice, a leap of faith and venture out to find a different approach to healing those you are called to work with and ultimately, heal yourself.

My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Sarah Bamford Seidelmann, actually lived this story. Sarah is a fourth-generation physician turned shamanic healer and life coach, who deeply enjoys shenanigans! She’s a frequent blogger at Maria Shriver’s site for Architects of Change and has led sold-out retreats combining surfing and shamanism in Hawaii and a sacred pachydermal pilgrimage to Thailand. She loves to help others find their “feel good” so they can live courageously and enthusiastically. Her website is followyourfeelgood.com and she joins me this week to discuss her book, Swimming with Elephants – My Unexpected Pilgrimage from Physician to Healer.
