Hello

​​My Journey:

"I did not know how amazing the body is until I set out on a quest to address my own dis-ease with Alternative Therapies... I still have thyroid function after 10+ years without medication, I no longer suffer with chronic sinus issues, migraines, thyroid symptoms or deep depression, my sciatic pain of 10 years has magically disappeared”

 

I am a strong proponent for Alternative and Complementary Therapies and feel I would not be in the shape that I am if I had followed what the medical profession had to offer. I am in my 60s and feel like I am in better health than when I was in my early 30s.

 

For more than 5 years in my late 20s, I struggled (and was on and off a variety of medications) with chronic sinus infections. I felt disabled when dealing with the pain. It was hard to concentrate or function at work and the constant pain interrupted my daily life. Often my sinus pressure would trigger debilitating Migraines (something I battled from a young age).

 

With one round of 10 sessions of Acupuncture for my sinus infections, I was off all sinus medication and for 30+ years since, have only had one sinus-type headache (which was actually very mild). You can imagine…this was nothing short of a miracle for me!

 

I began having migraine headaches at the age of 17, which continued to disrupt my daily life at work, home, and at times I would get migraines during my sleep. Often I would wake up with them and be unable to lift my head without being thrown into another one, like a loop of migraines, this could go on for several days.

 

I once found myself parked on the side of the road, less than a block from my home, weeping and terrified with no idea where I was. If the police had stopped, they, surely, would have put me in a mental institution because, I could not form a sentence, I did not know my name,  I did not know where I was going, nor could I drive as I only had half my vision, let alone walk. I felt alone and helpless. I was incapacitating to say the least by a migraine.

 

My medical doctor had been prescribing various Migraine medications without resolve, then I discovered Herbal and Nutritional Therapies, after nearly 30 years of suffering, I am ecstatic to be prescription free and nearly Migraine free since the early 2000's.

 

In addition, in 1995, I was presented with the disheartening news of being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease of the thyroid. The doctors told me it was incurable and would only get worse which did not paint a pretty picture. I was prescribed drugs to relieve the symptoms but, after a few months of taking increasing amounts of the drug, I came to the conclusion that they were causing my thyroid to completely shut down and it seemed the drugs would eventually take the place of the thyroid on some level (since it was not required to function).

 

I was in my early 40s and in pretty good physical shape at the time, I routinely worked out and had followed a healthy diet. I dreaded the idea of ending up like the classic thyroid patient with the thick neck and thick body. (2005)

​

In 2016, I was in a car crash that involved 2 semi trucks hitting my car from different angles. One from the left, then the other from the right. As a result, my body's connective tissue tightened so much that in 4 months it compressed by body to the point that I had lost 4 inches in height and I was restricted in my ability to stretch. After searching, I discovered Advanced Bio-Structural Correction and in about 7 years was able to regain my height and flexibility. I was so impressed by this modality, I decided to study it.

 

I have personally had amazing results with alternative medicine and have seen many more amazing outcomes with patients. It is my mission to offer as many alternative therapies I can gather to help others leave their issues behind and get on with life.

​​

Because of my neuromuscular background and fascination with Rolfing Technique (fascial release system) my college thesis was on connective tissue / body fluid and it's involvement in what makes Acupuncture work which was a theory way before its time. It has been shown that the acupuncture meridians flow with the electrolyte fluid which moves through the connective tissue / fascia, however during that time, most of my classmates had no clue what connective tissue was and our instructors made Acupuncture out to be mystical, rather than offering any scientific explanation.

 

This mysticism was widely accepted in the field at that time. Energy exchange and electrons were part of some woo woo therapy which had no validity to modern medicine so Acupuncture was never given the credit it deserved...Activating hormones, stimulating stem cells, etc. is only dabbling in what Acupuncture can offer.

​

The year following my graduation there was a symposium on Fascia and Acupuncture. It was the beginning of a new way of thinking.

​

Since that time, many of my theories have been clinically proven or supported, now it is hard to deny their validity.

​

I use my common sense, my innate intuition, along with my education to connect the dots and help people that the medical profession have given up on. These are my favorite cases. In a perfect world, patients would be required to have acupuncture before other therapies. This would greatly reduce the strain on our "western" medical system.

Let me know how I can help you get back to living.
