About Guest, Donald Grothoff:
I’m Don Grothoff, a Dad, EFT Practitioner, and, Mindset Coach. When I had my second child, I had no idea she would have OCD and the tough journey she would take us through. Then to find my youngest suffering from it, we relived the whole journey again. This painful anxiety disorder crippled both kids, me, and my family.

While their OCD never went away, the girls, my family, and I have learned to manage it. I became dedicated to learning methods that I could use to help them and the family cope, bring down anxiety, and eventually manage their OCD.

I decided to use the skills I acquired as a Dad and from Emotional Freedom Techniques training to be a mindset coach for individuals and families to handle the curveballs that life throws their way. I use my skills in naturopathic and holistic doctors’ offices to help patients through their healing process, make them more efficient, healthy and satisfied patient.
