In the inner-city districts of Oakland and Richmond, California, my life as a 21-year-old EMT brimmed with potential. At this formative age, I stood at a crossroads, teetering on the edge of a major decision: attending nursing school or joining the fire academy. Leaning towards my aspirations of becoming a firefighter, I was on the verge of solidifying my professional path. However, fate had other plans. An unforeseen accident struck, rendering my left leg paralyzed from the knee down. In that heart-wrenching moment, the dreams I held dear suddenly felt out of reach.

Determined not to give in, I sought out answers from conventional medicine, and while some treatments brought relief, my foot remained immobile. After numerous treatments and attempts, it became evident: traditional methods weren't providing the solutions I desperately needed. While they offered me opioids, my experience as an EMT had taught me the grim realities of such drugs.

Looking for options that could truly help me, I explored spinal rehabilitation and chiropractic therapies - and started to experience real healing for the first time since the accident. Having such a positive experience with this attempt, I became curious about what other holistic healing methods might be able to help. I embraced breathwork, meditation, and leaned into my innate intuitive gifts.

My real breakthrough came when I encountered the combined wonders of Reiki and Tibetan sound healing. Emerging pain-free and with the regained ability to move my foot, it became crystal clear: my ordeal was a guiding force, pushing me towards a destiny as a holistic chiropractor.

With renewed purpose, I submerged myself in the world of holistic healing. The once paralyzed leg now walked me into understanding the power behind holistic healing methods I would have never experienced before. My transformation wasn't just physical; it was a metamorphosis of spirit and purpose.

This journey, from a budding EMT to a holistic chiropractor, is a testament to resilience, self-discovery, and the infinite potential of holistic healing. Through life's storms, I've unearthed a deep-seated purpose and passion. Within every challenge lies an opportunity for profound transformation. Today, I proudly offer chiropractic care combined with modalities like cupping therapy and the Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) - a mind-body approach addressing emotional and behavioral patterns. Alongside these therapies, I provide energy healing and mindful facilitation, as a comprehensive holistic approach to well-being.
