  • WW Podcast 13 - Eric & Amanda talk about non-judgment in healthcare
    In this episode, Amanda Barp, LMT, RYT and Eric Grey discuss a common theme in both their practices - the foundation of non-judgment that lies at the heart of all great healthcare.

At WW we do our utmost to ensure this doesn't impact our patients, and in this podcast, we reveal a bit more about our thinking and approach.
