Dr. Raoul Goldberg spent decades as an integrative physician, trained in anthroposophic clinics in Switzerland and Germany, working with the deeper context of chronic illness. Dana Smirin arrived at his Cape Town practice in 2011 in the middle of her own healing, bringing a background in consciousness studies, systems thinking and embodied practice. What began as a doctor and patient became a working partnership, and PATH Method grew out of it.
Together they spent years refining a way of working that invites a person to step outside a fixed story, witness themselves, and find within themselves what is needed to change it. They tested it in workshops from Cape Town to California. They named it PATH Method, Participatory Awareness for Transformational Healing.
