Health care management consulting/coaching

Ordinary people are not trained to handle medical situations for themselves or

their family members. 

They either blindly "trust" and do what the doctor tells them, which may turn out just fine. 

Or it may result in complications,  life-altering consequences, and sometimes even unexpected death.

Preventable medical errors account for 250.000 deaths per year in the US. 

People may also experience secondary effects as a result of a disease process or treatment which then requires additional specialist appointments and more system management.

I call this the medical merry-go-round. 

Some just do not get better and don't recover fully from a medical event.

When you are not getting results or not recovering at 100%, you are not addressing the chief cause of your problem and wasting precious time, energy, and money doing the wrong thing. 

Know that this is not your fault. 

If you are not healing, you are not alone, you are not flawed, and most of all, you are not a hopeless cause.

You are simply not receiving the right care for your problem.

When you are not back to 100%,  “nothing is working for you,” you are tired of just managing symptoms, and you are ready to discover and address the root causes of your problems in a functional way.

Then let’s figure it out together.

HI, I'M DL WALKER

Educator, Healer, and Diagnostic Detective.

My goal is 100% recovery and guiding you to achieve your bright, beautiful future.

Missing a diagnosis, medical complications, and errors are not uncommon. It is estimated that there are over 5 million cases reported yearly in the US alone. 

I have witnessed this as a professional with my patients and I have experienced it personally in my own life. 

I know what it is like to lose your quality of life and to be dismissed by your doctor. 

I also know the frustration of trying to get better when nothing seems to be working.  

What I know for sure is that in order to achieve a 100% recovery, you need to reveal it to heal it.

 Using my 30 years of traditional and complementary health care training, I evaluate your entire situation beyond the area of dysfunction.

I then advise you where to go, who to see, what to ask and how you can manage your symptoms so that you can figure out  the root cause of your struggles and receive the best care possible. 

I love helping people get their lives back and their loved ones cared for.  

I have achieved great success, helping patients uncover life-altering diagnoses of bone fractures, brain tumors,  hydrocephalus and infections that were missed. 

As well as using my world-wide connections to get people the best care for them  locally. 

I enjoy challenging clients who are fed up and frustrated. Where nothing has helped and they are ready to try something new. As well as people who are looking for the very best care for themselves and their families, now and in the future.
