Immersive Transformational Wellness Experiences

Dr. Andrea Carter Best brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her integrative wellness workshops and retreats.
For decades and long before integrative medicine, holistic psychiatry, nutrition, and brain optimization became part of mainstream conversation, Dr Best combined psychiatry, nutrition, mindfulness and holistic, whole-person medicine into an approach designed to help people thrive—not simply manage symptoms. She utilizes this approach with individuals, and corporate groups, to co-create their own optimal health systems.
Workshop and retreat attendees are frequently:
