Testimonials
Being back at in person seminars again was such a treat! Shawn is a truly engaging speaker, with passion and knowledge that are second to none! Older & Bolder was incredibly comprehensive, approaching elderly patients in a ‘whole person’ manner from a number of perspectives. It reinstated my confidence in treating this underserved population!
