My Story

I learned the power of complementary medicine at the age of 14 through my own healing journey and have been open to and studied
complimentary modalities since that time.

In 1987, I  began my formal education and earned 3 college degrees, and several post-professional certifications all in healthcare.

When I choose to study Exercise Science, Cardiac Rehab and Physical Therapy in college, my education taught me to be myopic and disconnected. I was taught to treat body parts and symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of a problem or integrating bodily struggles with psychology and energy factors.

Because of my experience as a 14 year old, who overcame a severe and embarrassing problem holistically, I knew that their was more to healing than what I was taught.

So, I became a  Certified Functional Manual Therapist with the Institute of Physical Art and began teaching  in 2008  while completing
advanced trainings in health coaching and energetic medicine in 2015 and 2022 respectfully. 

As a result, I now include mindset and energy coaching, with my traditional physical therapy techniques as a Functional Corrective Therapist and teach my healing method to professionals and the public.

Since incorporating this holistic approach, I have a perfect success rate. 

My 1 -1 clients report on average a 60-80% improvement in just 1 session.  

And clinically,  diagnoses that used to take 12-24 sessions to resolve, now take half the time. 

When people are not healing or unable to get the their next level, then it is likely that  either the root cause has not been identified or they are not being treated from a comprehensive approach.

They then become part of a medical merry-go-round which sadly results in more problems.

I have witnessed this far too many times in my career with patients being misdiagnosed or suffering serious consequences of medical errors.

I was 1 of them.

For many of these people the result was death, some fast like my patient who was given 1,000 times the dose of radiation for a cancer treatment. 

And others slow, like my grandfather who was misdiagnosed with dementia when he had a very curable diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.

For me, my surgeon missed a infection after a routine dental implant and dismissed me with a diagnosis of allergies.

After losing a month of my life, I helped him get the diagnosis right because of what I know and who I know.

Most people don’t have the knowledge or the help that I did.

When you are experiencing pain and limitation in your life, and things aren’t getting better,  it is like an idiot light illuminating in your car, telling you that you are doing “something” wrong.

But it is not telling you what that “something” is.

And many people ignore the warning and follow ineffective advice.

That is where I come in.

I am like that diagnostic computer at the car shop. 

I help to determine the root cause of problem from a holistic perspective using a combination of education, experience and intuition.  

Then I share all the possible ways that I know to overcome it in safe, comprehensive way without potential disability side effects or death.

Because you have to reveal it to heal it and the more options that you have, the greater your odds of recovery, performance enhancement, and resilience.

I called DL and my toe was fine the next day!
