Today we drop in with Dr. Karolina Mikos in Chicago, Illinois and this is a story about following your heart.

Dr. Karolina wanted to be a doctor since age six, and made good on that by becoming a Board-Certified Internist, working as a travel hospitalist in paradise. So why did it all feel so wrong?

Professional burnout including depression led her to a transformative journey in the jungle with the Indigenous plant medicine Ayahuasca. Inspired by her own dramatic healing, she followed the science, and quit her prestigious medical career to go all in on holistic health and plant medicine.

Karolina holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in addition to her MD and is currently licensed to practice Medicine by the State of Illinois. She holds certificates in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy from ATMA Academy (now ATMA CENA) in Calgary, Alberta, is certified by the Whole Health Medical Institute, California in Holistic Medicine, by the IFS Institute in IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy Foundation, as well as the Medical Cannabis Mentor in Medical Marijuana therapeutics.
