For much of my life, I lived with unresolved health problems. I was not searching for a philosophy, I was searching for relief. I tried approaches that clearly made sense. When they failed to produce lasting change, I continued looking because I needed to find something that worked.
Over time, a pattern became clear. Every discipline I encountered was effective—to a point. Each system helped some problems some of the time, yet none addressed root causes or produced consistent, systemic relief.
So I kept looking for ways to help myself and others who experience chronic pain. My efforts have included physical therapy coursework, nursing studies, emergency medicine training (EMT), licensure and practice as a massage therapist, and over 1,300 hours of post-licensure education in advanced manual therapy systems, with a primary focus on Fascial Counterstrain and Barral-based work. I now bring that experience and training to the people I work with.
Chronic problems are complex. I do not assume every issue can be resolved, but I do not stop evaluating prematurely. Symptoms are often more malleable than people assume. My role is to evaluate carefully, work precisely, and determine what is realistically achievable in your case.
