About the Author

Vicki Matthews is a Naturopathic Physician who is passionate about re-establishing balance in the world. She has been an outspoken advocate for alternative healing and spiritual pursuits most of her adult life, and has appeared as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show twice to share aspects of this message.

Vicki grew up in Santa Monica, California, back when it was a quiet town full of retirees; the greatest danger those days was being run over by a wheelchair. Her best friend was, and still is, her sister. Vicki loved reading and writing, and her first poem was published when she was eleven.  

Never quite clear exactly what she wanted to be when she grew up, Vicki majored in English and was feature editor of her college newspaper one year, then changed to a psychobiology major, and finally ended up with a degree in psychology. Her graduate work includes an MBA and a PhD in Naturopathy.   You can visit Vicki's practitioner website here.

Vicki lives on a lake just north of Chicago with the best husband in the world, her other best friend, Mark.
