The Future of Self-Healing: Green Nurse Sherri Tutkus
Sherri Tutkus is the host and producer of The Green Nurse On The Go podcast; founder and nursing director of the Green Nurse Group housed at Irie Bliss in Rockland, Massachusetts; cannabis patient and mom. Nurse Sherri’s cannabis story begins with her own healing from debilitating pain and flows into a conversation about the future of personalized self-care and how cannabis fits in.
Sherri also speaks of her own mother’s reluctance to accept her work for several years and her mom’s miraculous turnaround when she was able to open her mind to a new way to heal. Then Sherri opens up about how she speaks with her own children about her work, her medicine, and the implications of cannabis misinformation and the importance of each of us talking with our loved ones about the positive uses of cannabis.
