I developed Healing Path 3 over time, incorporating many years of education and training, as well as professional and personal experience. I’d like to share some of my background with you.

I’ve been a passionate athlete all my life. As an MVP and Hall of Fame basketball and tennis player, I sustained my fair share of injuries. I have rehabilitated 6 severely sprained ankles, low back and shoulder sprains, chronic hip pain, and a ruptured Achilles tendon.  My rehabilitation sessions, although grueling, sparked a deep interest in Sports Medicine, biomechanics, injury prevention and overall health and well being, and ultimately led to my career in healing. These sessions changed my life as they opened up a new sense of responsibility for self-care. Having learned many invaluable lessons through my healing process, I am now able to empower my patients to take better care of themselves on their healing journeys.

I was deeply concerned when I was diagnosed with injury-related grade 2 spondylolisthesis, a condition in which one vertebra slips forward atop the one beneath it. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and I became very ill and weak. Facing possible back surgery and an inactive future, I was desperate for a better solution. This is when my own quest for a healing path truly began.

Fortunately, I was introduced to a Neuromuscular Therapist. After a few treatments, pain-free days began to link together. But progress was painfully slow as I tried to resume more activity. This inspired me to create Kinetic Link Training, a system designed to restore the body’s ability to move properly and regain optimal strength and balance.

For the next few years, my practice focused on Sports Medicine and Neuromuscular Therapy, and many clients responded exceptionally well. Some, however, did not achieve the desired results. As I explored ways to help them more, I discovered Oriental Medicine and herbal prescription, and decided to seriously study these practices.

Today my patients benefit from the combination of these three disciplines. These patients are able to truly thrive, to experience vibrant new energy, and to enjoy newfound resilience to the challenges of daily life. My own healing path has enabled me to play basketball and tennis once again, and to surf the waves of Mexico, Hawaii and Southern California.  My goal is to provide a nurturing healing path to all those who seek it, so they too can enjoy their lives to the fullest.
