What Interns are saying...

"I absolutely loved my time at TMC and was quite devastated when I had to leave DC a bit early. I recently finished my certification as an integrative health practitioner and I loved it so much that I decided to enroll in a “Mastery" program. One of our recent assignments was to write about a person in your life who helped you grow. I ended up writing about you Dr. Norris, because when I look back I realize just how much you (and my time at TMC) impacted my life by planting "seeds of truth," so to speak, that wouldn’t start to sprout until several years later. Perhaps I just wasn’t ready for it at the time, but now I realize how so much of the recent positive change in my life I can track back to things I learned from you while I was at TMC. I wanted to reach out to tell you this and to express my gratitude for my time at TMC. Thank you so much for cultivating a space that is full of radiant energy and truly dedicated to whole body health and wellness, our world certainly needs it! I am so appreciative for the time I was there and for everything that you taught me."
