Your Body Might Be Capable of More Than You Think…

So often, people come to me after being told that surgery is their only option. But in many cases, the body still holds an incredible capacity to heal itself; it just needs the right kind of support.

That’s where advanced, non-invasive therapies like Softwave Shockwave and EECP Therapy come in. Both work with the body’s natural intelligence to restore balance, improve circulation, and ease pain, without surgery, drugs, or downtime.

⚡️ Softwave Shockwave Therapy uses advanced soundwave technology to stimulate deep cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the body’s natural healing response, helping people recover from chronic pain, injury, and mobility limitations that other treatments haven’t resolved.

💓 Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive, cardiologist-recommended therapy that naturally restores circulation, strengthens heart function, and increases stamina, helping patients breathe easier, move with greater energy, and regain quality of life without surgery or medication.

The body’s ability to recover never ceases to amaze me. If you’ve been told surgery or medications are your only path forward, it might be time to explore what your body is truly capable of.

My work isn’t really about technique, though I’ve learned many over the years. It’s about understanding the lay of the land and engaging with the inherent corrective force that moves through the body.

There are places where that force flows easily, and others where it meets resistance. My role is to listen, to dialogue with it, and to support its intelligence in finding the most elegant resolution.

This means working with every layer—the physical, emotional, and metabolic body—and recognizing the deep intelligence that formed us cell by cell. It’s never just about muscles and bones (though they often take all the blame and get all the glory).

When I’m in that connection, I don’t impose what I think should happen. Instead, I follow the body’s lead, supporting its natural process toward resolution, balance, and wholeness.

✨ The body already knows how to heal. My job is to help it remember.

I can’t describe the joy I feel when someone walks out of my office smiling, moving freely, and realizing their pain is finally gone. Every story of healing reminds me why I do this work.

For thousands of years, our ancestors have understood that true healing happens in community, through care, compassion, and connection. To me, this story is a powerful reminder and the heart of my philosophy: we are at our best when we serve others, when we lift each other up in times of difficulty, and when healing becomes something shared.

A compelling study by Frontiers in Physics revisits an astonishing possibility — that DNA is not just the molecule of heredity, but a living fractal antenna capable of receiving and transmitting electromagnetic energy.

Researchers discovered that DNA’s helical geometry enables it to resonate at multiple harmonic frequencies — from radio waves to ultraviolet light. This geometry may allow cells to communicate through resonance, exchanging information through electromagnetic fields rather than chemical signals alone.

If confirmed, this changes everything. It suggests that life operates not just through chemistry, but through coherent vibration, harmonic communication, and field intelligence — the very principles behind consciousness, healing, and energy itself.

DNA, in this view, is not only a code — it’s a receiver of the cosmic broadcast.

The wide frequency range of interaction with EMF is the functional characteristic of a fractal antenna, and DNA appears to possess the two structural characteristics of fractal antennas, electronic conduction and self symmetry. These properties contribute to greater reactivity of DNA with EMF in the...

Coming to Nevada City this winter: EECP Heart Therapy ❤️

Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive, cardiologist-recommended treatment for lasting heart health, circulation, and energy.

If you or someone you love has been living with chronic chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, or poor circulation, and medications or procedures haven’t helped, this gentle therapy may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

EECP can help with:

-Chronic chest pain (angina)
-Coronary artery disease
-Fatigue or shortness of breath
-Heart failure support
-Poor circulation and mobility issues
-Building new “natural bypass” blood vessels
-Increasing stamina and endurance

How it works: While you rest comfortably, special cuffs gently compress the legs in rhythm with your heartbeat. This process improves circulation, reduces strain on the heart, and stimulates new vessel growth, often called “natural bypasses.”

EECP is FDA-cleared, trusted by cardiologists worldwide, and has helped thousands improve daily life, like walking without pain, climbing stairs without stopping, and enjoying activities with loved ones again.

This winter, I’m excited to bring this cutting-edge therapy to Nevada City. If you’ve been searching for real answers for your heart and health, this may be the next step forward.

Curious if EECP is right for you? Visit my website to learn more or schedule a free consultation.

One of the most exciting tools I’ve brought into my practice is
SoftWave Shockwave Therapy.

Heard of it? If you haven’t, this is going to blow your mind!

This cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy uses sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. It encourages stem cell growth, improves circulation, and helps tissues repair themselves at record speed.

SoftWave has been trusted by leading health centers such as Stanford, UCSF, Cleveland Clinic, Baylor, and UCLA Health, as well as professional organizations including the NBA, NFL, MLB, and USA Basketball. And now, it’s available right here in Nevada City.

⚡️SoftWave can help with:

-Chronic pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments (arthritis, back pain, sciatica)
-Sports injuries and slow-to-heal conditions (sprains, tendonitis, joint pain)
-Post-surgery recovery and rehabilitation
-Tendon and ligament healing
-Neuropathy and diabetic foot pain
-Knee issues like osteoarthritis, ACL tears, and ligament injuries
-Shoulder problems including rotator cuff and calcific tendonopathy
-Ankle and foot pain such as Achilles tendonopathy, sprains, and plantar fasciitis

What makes it different is how quickly people feel the results.
If you’ve been living with pain and wondering if there’s another option besides medications or surgery, this may be the next step you’ve been looking for.

Scientists have demonstrated a surprising new way to restore vision using gold. By injecting microscopic gold nanorods into the eye, researchers were able to bypass damaged retinal cells and trigger visual responses in the brain.

The retina normally relies on photoreceptor cells to capture light and send electrical signals through the optic nerve to the brain. In diseases such as macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa, these cells gradually die, leading to vision loss that cannot currently be reversed. The gold nanorods offer a different strategy. Once injected into the retina, they respond to harmless infrared laser light projected through special goggles connected to a camera system. The rods absorb the light, generate tiny bursts of heat, and activate deeper retinal layers that are still intact. These layers then send electrical signals to the brain, creating a visual pathway that works independently of the damaged photoreceptors.

In mouse experiments, this method successfully stimulated brain regions responsible for vision without requiring invasive surgery or complex gene therapy. The approach is minimally invasive and could eventually be delivered as a simple eye injection followed by wearing laser equipped goggles.

If future studies confirm safety and effectiveness in humans, this technology may one day give back functional sight to millions worldwide living with retinal diseases, offering hope where few treatments currently exist.

At the core of my practice is something I call osteopathically-informed bodywork.

Basically, it’s a unique combination of different modalities, such as cranial and visceral work, to lymphatic and neural techniques, combined with a deeply intuitive way of listening and communicating with your body.

Many of my clients come to me after trying countless treatments without answers, still living with mysterious ailments or unresolved chronic pain. By gently helping to untangle the body in a strategic yet intuitive way, I’m able to help them finally find relief.

This work also reaches beyond the physical and can ease stress, release stored emotions, and help bring your whole system back into balance. This type of bodywork may be well-suited for you if:

🌱 You’ve been struggling with ongoing pain, stiffness, or fatigue that hasn’t improved with other treatments
🌱 You’re dealing with neck, back, or joint pain, nervous system stress, or chronic conditions that limit mobility and energy
🌱 You’re looking for gentle, non-invasive care to maintain your health, that works with your body’s natural rhythms
🌱 You’re seeking the best care for your children - I love working with kids and babies, gently addressing early imbalances that can affect growth, posture, behavior, and well-being

Common challenges I often help people with are:

-Headaches and brain injury
-Chronic pain and trauma
-Musculoskeletal problems
-Lymphatic conditions
-Allergies and immune dysfunction
-Neuropathy and sciatica
-TMJ and fascia-related issues
-Sports injuries & post-surgery recovery
-Mobility limitations & tendon/ligament healing

And more…

The body is deeply interconnected, and when you know how to listen, it always tells the truth. Hands-on bodywork will always be at the heart of what I do, because it’s where the real magic of healing begins.

My journey into this work began more than two decades ago at the Canadian College of Osteopathy where I built the foundation for what is now over two decades of practice.

Along the way, I’ve studied a wide range of modalities, including Cranial Osteopathy, Neural Manipulation, Visceral Manipulation, Lymph Drainage Therapy, and Bone Marrow Work. Each one offers a unique lens into the body, and together they create a deeply effective approach to healing.

What amazed me then, and still inspires me today, is how interconnected the body and mind truly are. For example, a headache might stem from tension in the hips pulling on the spine, or a frozen shoulder might be linked to restricted movement in the ribs or congestion around the liver. And sometimes pain isn’t just physical... Emotions and past experiences can also store themselves in the body, showing up as sickness or tension until they’re given a chance to release. The body always has a story to tell if you know how to listen.

In more recent years, I’ve integrated advanced therapies like SoftWave Shockwave and EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) Therapy to bring an even higher level of care to my community here in Nevada City.

What I love most about what I do is watching someone leave with less pain, more ease, and a sense of relief they didn’t think was possible. Every person who walks through my door has a story, and my role is to listen, support, and help the body find its way back to balance.
