CCI Grad Profile: Shoshana Church – From Physician Assistant to Helping Clients get off Pharmaceuticals with Cannabis

Meet Shoshana Church

Certified: Cannabis Educator

Class of: February 2022

Location: Southern Illinois

Background and Qualifications:

I have been a Physician Assistant for 20 years in primary care. I combine that background and my deep understanding of the science of the plant to guide people in using cannabis and how to eliminate or decrease the use of some pharmaceuticals.  

I am a Certified Cannabis Educator, Certified Cannabis Coach, and a Certified Aromatherapist.

Why are you a Cannabis Coach? 

cannabis jobs

I used cannabis when I was a teenager until I was in my early 30s.  I realized at some point that I could lose everything I had because cannabis was completely illegal!  That was a fear that became enormous as I got older and was raising a family.  

So, I told Jesus if he was who he said he was that I needed to be able to stop, but I wasn’t able to on my own, so could he help me?  On May 6, 1990, I was freed from the burden of using an illegal plant to make me feel better.  

Fast forward to 2015, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I had started exploring the world of plant medicine in essential oils and found multiple solutions to various issues I was dealing with and was astounded at how effective they were.  

When cannabis became legal in Illinois for medical users, I decided to explore the plant again to address many issues I had with getting older, having cancer, brain fog, hot flashes, and so on.  

What I have learned prompted me to become a certified Cannabis Coach and Educator so I could help you.

How has cannabis impacted your life?

Since I came back to the plant, I have been able to use cannabis to get some of the best night’s sleep ever without pharmaceuticals!  

I am in a much better mood by using a combination of CBD and very low doses of THC. I have eliminated pharmaceuticals that were for depression, anxiety, sleep, and menopause symptoms.  

I have learned so much about the science of the plant, and I am a confident authority in guiding family, friends, and clients in how to use the plant as medicine.

What are you fantastic at as a Coach? What’s your special sauce?  

Listening, advising, and understanding the medical aspect of chronic health problems

Tell us about your best offering. 

Check out my Bundle Package, which is the best bang for your buck. 

You get:

  • A thorough medical history intake
  • 3 Zoom calls 
  • and you have access to me via text or email for 30 days.  

I will make recommendations based on your current health concerns. I can screen your pharmaceuticals and advise if there would be any interactions or not.  It is just like going in to see your healthcare provider, except we are talking about plant medicine.

There are also individual sessions you can choose from. 

Who are the people who benefit most from your coaching?

My ideal client is the woman struggling with menopausal changes, the woman newly diagnosed with a chronic health problem, and the woman who is scared to talk with her provider or her pastor about using cannabis as medicine.

Share a testimonial from a client.

“Cannabis coaching with Shoshana Church has made a great impact on my daily activity and quality of life. I have struggled for years with arthritis, stenosis, and degenerative joint disease. 

I was taking Norco to help with the pain, but it was only masking my thoughts of pain. I was still in pain, but I didn’t care. I didn’t like being on opiates, so I struggled with my pain until I contacted Shoshana. 

I had seen some of her blogs and became very interested and hopeful about using Cannabis. We worked together to get me back into the living world so that I can function and enjoy my life. I can’t believe the change it’s made in my day-to-day living.”  TD

A word from Shoshana.

Are you frustrated with talking with your provider about your health, and they barely listen and then give you pharmaceuticals?  Does your provider lack an understanding of cannabis and how it works?  

Are you a cannabis user, and you are afraid to talk to your provider or your pastor about it for fear of retribution or being dismissed from the practice or, worse yet, your church?  

If you want help figuring out how to address common health problems and you would like to be comfortable communicating with your provider and your pastor, then please reach out to me at [email protected] or visit my website www.cannabisremedy.org for more information.  

As an experienced medical provider, I totally understand this issue from both perspectives. As a Christian believer, we should be able to find natural solutions and use what God has provided for our needs.
