About the Author

Inspired by a dream to "take a thousand of their closest friends to Peru, fifteen at a time," Doctors John and Sharon Franklin have introduced numerous western-trained health care professionals and others to the healing traditions of Peru. Successful veterinarians, the Franklins have traveled from the Andes Mountains to the Amazon Rainforest for well over a decade. Transformational ceremonies at Machu Picchu and other sacred sites and a wisdom tradition about an ethical relationship with nature inspired them to write Gift of the Jaguar.
When not in Peru, John now writes and shares his gift of touch with people through Zero Balancing and Feldenkrais. Sharon shows others how to create vibrant health and financial abundance with XanGo, and is a Gold-Seal Certified Flight Instructor. Avid hikers and runners, the Franklins enjoy life in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with two cats. See DoctorsJohnandSharon.com for more about Gift of the Jaguar, trips to Peru, and XanGo.
