Dr. Schumacher’s contributions to the field continue to reverberate, not just in the literature, but through those he has trained. Says Dr. Schlesinger of her fellowship: “There are times in your life that you wish never ended and [my fellowship] was one of those times. Dr. Schumacher expected of you what he expected of himself, which was to work hard. I loved what I did, how he practices, and the crystals! We were lucky to have access to him.”
