About Dr. Richard Grossman
Integrative Healer, Author, and Authority on Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing
40+ years Acupuncture & natural health20 years Amazonian shamanic traditions3 credentials L.Ac., O.M.D. & Ph.D.Published author Trust and Forgive
With over 40 years of experience in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and natural health care—and two decades immersed in the healing traditions of Amazonian shamanism—Richard Grossman has dedicated his life to helping others transform trauma into personal growth. His work spans continents and consciousness, blending science and spirit in deeply grounded, practical ways.
Richard is the author of Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life, a reflective guide built on half a century of clinical insights, ceremonial leadership, and lived exploration. Far from prescriptive, his message invites listeners to find their own way back to joy, peace, and inner truth. Drawing from his background in sound healing, plant medicine, and traditional Asian wisdom, Richard reframes trauma not as a permanent wound, but as a catalyst for awakening.
Through his Heartfeather platform, Richard guides spiritual travel experiences and shares teachings that remind us of the value in slowing down, listening inward, and embracing the “walk” rather than the “Lambo ride” to self-discovery. He’s passionate about expanding access to healing modalities beyond pharmaceuticals, making ancient tools accessible to modern audiences navigating anxiety, disconnection, or burnout.
His work resonates especially with listeners on a personal development journey—those who may be therapy- or coaching-literate but feel like something deeper is calling.

Episode 305 - Transforming Trauma withDr. Richard Grossman
This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.
In this episode, we explore how trauma can become a gateway to profound personal growth, guided by insights from decades of experience across both traditional and alternative healing modalities. Our guest offers a unique blend of science, ritual, and reflective practice, highlighting pathways toward healing that extend beyond conventional approaches.
Instead of viewing trauma as something to simply manage or suppress, we examine the possibilities that open up when we approach it with curiosity and compassion. Slowing down to reconnect with ourselves, we learn how trauma can be transformed into an opportunity for deeper awareness, inner peace, and lasting change.
