The most essential aspect of my mentoring with Josephine is knowing that I am seen and heard.

I recommend it highly!

Anyone wanting and willing to experience a richer, deeper, more authentic life should meet Josephine Spilka.

Josephine has been an ally and teacher since the very beginning of my journey with cancer in 2000. Her doctoring – herb, diet, acupuncture, and other prescriptions – has been enormously helpful.

I feel encouraged and trusted to make the choices that feel right for me.
