Kevin Davi
(He/Him)
Kevin considers himself a jack of all trades. His journey as a healer began when he became a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Yet, the cannon of western medicine wasn’t enough. He had to look deeper. An avid yogi with a daily meditation practice for 10 years running, he continues to explore bridging the gap between mind and body, in hopes we can all learn to intuitively treat ourselves with the love & care we deserve. • Connect more with Kevin on his website and on Instagram.
Lorri DeVore
(She/Her)
As far back as she can remember, fear has played a huge role in Lorri’s life. In learning to accept and embrace change, stepping out of her comfort zone time and time again, listening to her Intuition, practicing meditation, and shifting her view to see fear as an opportunity rather than a threat, Lorri has learned how to consciously face & work with fear. In her writing, she continues to heal and explore it as it surfaces. • Connect more with Lorri on Facebook.
