About Dr. Maria Coffman: A 1995 graduate of Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (now A.T. Still University), Dr. Coffman has experienced an osteopathic medical career that resembles a jungle hike through the mountains emerging on clear sparkling shores.
Her early career focused on emergency medicine where she further developed her resourceful nature and acute care skills. In 2001, she founded Hands On Health Osteopathic Medicine and began to treat the chronic effects of injury and illness while continuing to transform the practice to include prevention of both acute and chronic health concerns. Careful to incorporate intuition into every step, as a physician author, Dr. Coffman accepted the notion to write and illustrate for others what she has been treating and teaching for several decades.
