Sarara conducts holistic healing consultations, mainly with cancer patients, to support them in determining an integrative approach to their treatments. Sarara believes in and understands the curative powers of Cannabis as one of many options a patient might use for their healing.
One of Sarara’s areas of interest is in Cannabis education. In 2012 she established CANNAhealNOW, which is devoted to educating people on the medicinal uses of Cannabis. She provides private consultations to individuals, public education seminars called “Cannabis 101” for patients and potential patients, and high level CME medical conferences for professionals.
She co-organized the medical education conference called Marijuana for Medical Professionals www.marijuanaformedicalprofessionals.com. She was also a speaker at that conference covering the subject of “Overcoming Marijuana Stigmas”.
The conference objectives include educating MD’s and other medical professionals on the science, the current research of medicinal uses of Cannabis and how they as professional practitioners, can participate in the growing
acceptance of the medicine. This is a CME certified conference, allowing medical professionals to gain continuing medical education credits.
Through clinical data and solid science implemented worldwide for over 50 years, this course educated front-line medics to the value of medical marijuana and how to work with patients. This conference was historical, bringing together the best minds in Cannabis research fields.
