I have loved the idea of healing people with my hands ever since I was 12 and I massaged my mom’s feet every day for a year, which prevented her from needing to get an expensive surgery at that time. I grew up with the mindset that drugs and surgery should be used as a last resort. This was put to the test when my wife, after our second child was born, experienced terrible migraines for days at a time every single month. She received routine injections and took tylenol almost every day to manage the symptoms, but they would always come back eventually. This also caused her high levels of stress as she felt like she wasn’t able to be the mom she should be. And this only seemed to worsen her symptoms!
I became frustrated as well because although I treated headaches on a regular basis at the time, none of the techniques I had learned would alleviate her pain. At this point I decided to look into learning more advanced techniques, and I started learning about a more holistic approach to manual therapy. Eventually I gained the skills necessary to cure my wife’s migraines (not to mention my own back pain). What I did not expect, however, was that I would also learn how to cure her acid reflux and chronic nausea she had since the age of 10. She went from an almost daily dose of tylenol, antacid, and zofran (don’t forgot the injections) to not being dependent on anything for the last 3 years.
What I have learned has been a tremendous blessing in my life, and I am passionate about sharing it with others.
