An old friend once gave me the advice…In business, it is better to dig one hole as deep as you can instead of digging a few shallow holes… This advice really stuck with me and became my focus over the years. Once I found the perfect hole for me to dig I started digging it and have not looked back since. I have been digging my deep hole of knowledge and understanding in my field since 1999 and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon! Every course I take, every class I teach, is all focused on a deeper understanding in the field of Alternative Medicine.
The question I asked myself for years was…Why do we take a one size fits all approach to our health and healing when each one of us are so unique? Over the years I have found that I could have 5 people walk into my office, all having the same complaints and each treatment would be different, because each one of us are different and why we have pain in a certain area can differ greatly. This is exactly why I have studied and trained in many different therapies that fall under “Alternative Medicine” so that I don’t have to take a one size fits all approach to helping you.
We can look at your symptoms from many different angles and we can help bring your body back to balance through many forms of healing.
My goal through my work is to help you understand what is currently going on in your body and with your organs and how to best create balance, for YOU.
