I want to take care of you. It is my life’s work to understand the ways that the body-mind-spirit work together…or don’t work so well together…and what can be done to facilitate a healthy relationship between those three components of a person’s life. This is why I am a forever student. I am driven to deeply understand, and I love using my wisdom and knowledge of all these different methods of whole-body healing to find a solution for you.
I want us to learn from each other. I love understanding how the body works. Because of my profound curiosity, I know a lot of things, but I certainly don’t know all the things. I don’t try to pretend that I am omniscient, and I try to fix my blind spots as soon as I find them. My patients and students are the reason that I spend my weekends reading textbooks and attending courses. When there is a problem that is not immediately solvable or a situation in which I have made a mistake, I want to know about it. My patients and students are my best “blind spot finders,” and I welcome learning from them.
I want you to feel loved. Yes, I am using that word on purpose. I want you to feel cared for and nurtured and supported and loved. I think that this is and should always be the foundation of a healing relationship. Love generates trust, and trust generates a willingness to try that hard thing that will help you to heal. So if you don’t feel loved, it will be harder for you to change and harder for you to get better.
I want you to get better. I’m delighted to see people come back or to keep coming because they just feel so good when I treat them, but I don’t want you to need me. I want you to feel so good that you don’t need me anymore. I want you to graduate and live your healthy life and send me your friends and family so that they can do the same.
