✅ Unfortunately, most doctors are not good at managing migraine, and there are only 700 certified headache specialists in the US! There are so many people suffering with migraine, without clear answers or direction. Many have no access to a headache specialist or wait 6 months or longer to see one, often traveling from across the US or from out of the country. These are exactly the reasons why I created this course.

✅ This is the only migraine masterclass created by an experienced headache specialist and neurologist. All others are created by non-physicians without the years of experience managing complex migraine cases.
