My new Morrow Project Character.

This is a character I'm creating for a Morrow Project Game run by my friend Arne.

Name: Nephtalie Johannsen

Her mother was a Haitian Mambo (Voudouine). Her father worked for the World Health Organization. they met while he was doing relief work there.  Because of her father, she was able to go to college and studied Psychology and Agriculture. She followed in her father's footsteps and joined the W.H.O, 

From her mother, she has experiences of effective folk medicine and shamanism, and struggles to understand these experiences, and to reconcile them with science.  She holds a great respect for the folk medicine and indigenous cultures of the people she serves. This is one reason why she is effective.

She is empathic, and good with rhetoric. These things, together with her knowledge of psychology, enable her to convince people to change the way they do things in order to create a more sustainable future: for instance, to stop slashing and burning.  Often the people that she convinces think the idea was theirs to begin with.

She is not afraid to break or bend the rules to accomplish her goals. One thing that gets her in trouble is her open disdain for people she sees as the oppressors.

She is bisexual with a healthy sex drive. She snores, enjoys card games. 
Height: 4'11"
weight: 91 lbs
eye color: green
hair color: black
skin color: dark

My burning question: How do they do it.  And I don't believe it's just power of suggestion.
What can science learn from them? What can I learn that I can apply to my own practice?
