| Dr. Dave "Tree" Montgomery |

| Who are you? As Dave Montgomery, I have been exploring this question-with-endless answers for the last 57 years. As "Tree" I began living this question at the beginning of time. I am a "symbol of a feeling", a feeling, not bounded by words and present in all that has ever existed. What do you do? If you are interested in what I do as a profession, then I am an obstetrician/gynecologist who specializes in Holistic (mind-body-spirit) health care of women. I am also Associate Clinical Professor at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. If you are interested in what I do metaphysically, then I wander, love and heal. What brings you joy? Wilderness group experiences. Unleashing my creativity. What brings you sadness? I feel sad when I allow my actions to be guided more by my need for approval from others than by the voice of my Soul. I feel sad anytime I choose fear over love. What experiences have you had that has contributed to your soul-purpose skills? *Vision quests, Animas Valley Institute soulcraft journeys, Vision quest apprentice experiences. *Gestalt Therapy training and counseling *Shamanic practitioner apprenticeship with John Perkins, Theo Paredes as well as training with other shamans. *Training in "Reconnection Healing" with Eric Pearl (bringing light and information into the healing process.) *I climb trees. |
