After residing in New York City for over two decades, Dr. de Vihil made the decision to relocate his family to Laurel Canyon, nestled in the serene Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California.

While the initial leap of faith may be challenging, it is through this act of trust that true transformation and growth can occur. He attributes his success to his grandmother who was the most healing relationship in his life. She nurtured and poured so much love into his life during some very extreme circumstances as a child.
