Medicinal Cannabis Education · Michigan & Florida

Your most valuable
patients deserve more
than a guess.

Seniors. Veterans. Cancer patients. Caregivers.
They walk through your doors — and into senior living communities, VA halls, and cancer support groups — every week hoping someone knows how to help them. I make sure your team does. And I bring that education directly to every community they belong to.

Who I Serve

The patients your team is least prepared for

These aren't casual recreational customers. They're people in real need — making decisions that affect their health and quality of life. When your team is equipped to serve them, they don't just come back. They send everyone they know.

🌿
Seniors

Managing chronic pain, sleep disorders, arthritis, and neurological conditions. Often first-time cannabis users who need patience, clarity, and real guidance.

🎖
Veterans

Navigating PTSD, TBI, and chronic pain — and the complex relationship between military culture and asking for help. The right conversation changes everything.

🎗
Cancer Patients

Dealing with treatment side effects, pain, appetite, and fear. These patients need more than product knowledge — they need someone who understands what they're carrying.

🤝
Caregivers

Shopping for someone else, carrying enormous weight, relying entirely on the expertise they find at the counter. Serve the caregiver well and you've earned a family.

How I Work

Two ways I serve your community

I work with dispensaries to train their teams — and directly with senior living communities, veteran organizations, cancer patients and caregivers to provide education that changes outcomes. Both tracks feed each other and strengthen Cannabis Compass as the bridge between cannabis businesses and the communities they serve.

Founder · Cannabis Compass · Medicinal Cannabis Educator
About

16 years.
One focused mission.

I'm a cannabis and hemp wellness educator who has spent 16 years working exclusively in medicinal patient support. My background spans direct patient consultation, field research, physician-facing presentations, community education, and ongoing study under world-renowned integrative medicine practitioners and pioneering cannabis scientists.

I work with dispensary teams in Michigan and Florida to close the gap between what their staff knows and what their most vulnerable customers need. Not product training. Not sales scripts. Population-specific education that changes outcomes.

I also work directly with senior living communities, veteran organizations, cancer support groups, and caregiver networks — providing the education these communities need to navigate cannabis confidently and safely.

My clinical roots — formal study in physical therapy and rehabilitation — inform how I approach cannabis therapeutics. I understand the body, how it heals, and how to speak about cannabis in a way that earns the trust of a skeptical veteran or a frightened cancer patient.

Where I Work

Two markets. Different angles.
The same outcome.

Michigan
Southeast Michigan · Downriver · Monroe Corridor
"In a market racing to the bottom on price, trust is the only advantage that can't be copied."

Michigan's recreational-dominant market means dispensaries compete on price and proximity — and many are struggling under increasing tax pressure and regulation. The independents that differentiate on medicinal patient experience right now will be the ones still standing when the market consolidates.

Florida
Venice · Sarasota · Port Charlotte · Southwest Coast
"Florida built its entire cannabis program on patient care. Most dispensaries haven't caught up to that promise yet."

With over 800,000 active medical patients, Florida independent dispensaries have a narrow window to build the kind of patient trust that no chain can manufacture. Federal rescheduling accelerates that opportunity — and the urgency.
