Our History.
Sometimes, experiencing the different leads to creative development of universal medical and clinical practices.
A trip to India changed our perspective. Seeing first-hand how medicine was accomplished in a unique but resource-strained medical model and a successful collaboration where mutual learning emerged, urged us to make a similar experience
possible for others.
And that we did. Along came The Storyteller & the World:
A non-profit organization seeking to share doctors’ and therapists’ knowledge with those in need in a locally responsible, understandable, and reasonable way for each specific
medical model.
