WHO AM I?

I care deeply about health: both outward and internal. Our bodies are an interconnected and complicated group of systems that are designed to build and repair themselves. The body cannot do this alone, however we as the stewards must help it along. Our bodies are our greatest assets, and like any valued asset (cars, homes, relationship…) we must do the work to upkeep and preserve them. Anything left unattended will eventually succumb to weathering, deterioration, and collapse. I want to help you maintain your body and to prevent you from pain, restrictions, and tension, so that it can heal itself effectively. I trust that there is a time and place for medication and surgeries, but I believe that this should be a final resort. We can greatly impact and even alter our bodies to perform more efficiently, and this starts with awareness and action. Small changes, as small as the way we are breathing, drastically improves our health.

When we feel good, we are our best selves.

OUTSIDE OF WORK

I enjoy daily, intense workouts like lifting weights and trail running. The more difficult the challenge the better. Anything outdoors in the sunshine brings me delight. I love what I do for a living, and the continuing process of learning. Other things that I cherish are my Rhodesian Ridgebacks, puzzles, music, quiet time, colors, coffee, tattoo art, Sedona, and community.

HOW DID I GET HERE?

In my previous profession as a comptroller, I operated all day behind a desk. I was constantly sitting while hunched over to see the screen. This eventually took a toll on my body. There was a specific day when my back locked up and I struggled to walk. I do not remember a particular action that took place to cause the issue, but I remember being under lots of stress, and sitting at my desk for hours on end. More than likely there were several contributing factors that finally erupted into my painful situation. What I remember most about the moment was having to crawl to my car in pain and panic. I had ignored the preliminary warning signs and waited for the worst to happen. I thought I was doing everything right by eating healthy and exercising, but I was not checking in with my body and doing the necessary maintenance. My first stop was to see my chiropractor, who after looking me over, recommended I speak with a Myopractor. I had never heard of a Myopractor before, but I trusted my Chiropractic friend and his suggestion. I quickly learned that everything in the body is connected and leaving physical stress unaddressed in one area will eventually affect another within the body. In one session my Myopractor was able to help me to stand and walk without pain. I was so blown away by the experience that I pondered changing careers on the drive home. That evening my Chiropractor confirmed this hunch when he called and suggested that Myopractics was somethings he could see me doing. I knew in that moment my vocational path was going to change. With joy, I now pursue the practice of helping to free people from pain, stress, and restriction, and to restore the motion of their body so that it may assist itself in the healing process.
