Beginning at age 19, Nathan served three decades in executive roles of non-profit agencies devoted to in-home health care, reproductive health care, water management and volunteerism.

Fifteen years ago he received a fellowship to study mind/body therapies for adults with health problems. He received his MA in Psychology from Antioch University Santa Barbara and did doctoral study at the Fielding Institute Santa Barbara. While researching body-centered psychotherapies and their overlap with classical Chinese medicine, he became interested in Chinese medical psychiatry, studying an additional 4 years at Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine. He is currently studying Tibetan Medicine through the Tibetan Medical Education Center in Geneva, Switzerland.

He has practiced classical Chinese medicine for 11 years (offices in Ojai and Beverly Hills), wrote a column on herbs in the Ojai Valley News for 4 years, and is preparing a book for the general public on medicinal herbs. He enjoys studying Chinese and Tibetan language with the goal of understanding medical texts in those languages. He also really, really loves plants!  In addition to his professional involvement with medicinal herbs he has had a lifelong intimate relationship with plants including organic gardening, heirloom vegetable preservation, cooking and woodworking.
