From Bedridden to Breakthrough: My Journey Through Chronic Fatigue, Pain & Purpose

Chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic pain had their grip on my life.
What started as a high-performing, athletic, med school-bound life turned into 23 hours a day in bed—almost overnight.

And then it got worse.

My muscles and joints locked up.
My stomach burned constantly.
The answers weren’t coming—just more appointments, more confusion, and more frustration.

I was told:

• “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome never goes away.”
• “We don’t know what’s wrong with you.”
• “You should just take these four medications with a list of side effects.”
• “It’s all in your head.”

I was desperate. So I tried something different: the natural approach

The First Adjustment That Changed Everything

One chiropractic adjustment opened a door I didn’t know existed—one of hope, clarity, and healing.
That moment led me to enroll in chiropractic school in Southern California—specifically because they integrated everything: nutrition, yoga, muscle therapy, acupuncture, lifestyle medicine.

My healing journey had begun, and it never really stopped.

I met mentors who helped me rebuild.
I studied every weekend, absorbed every lesson, and tested every method on myself.
It was long, and it was messy—but it gave me a foundation to now help others do what I once thought was impossible.

From My Pain Came a Plan: The Restoration Plan

Today, I get to help transform lives daily—over 30,000 patients treated, and more than 500 people through the Restoration Plan.

I’m not 100% perfect—wellness isn't about perfection—but I’m living at 90% function, and every day I wake up grateful.
I still have flare-ups, but they don’t define me anymore.

Why I Practice Differently

Our treatments are second to none when it comes to physical pain.
But what makes us truly different is the why behind what we do.

I had to fight for my own healing—through shadowing 30+ natural health practitioners, learning 20+ muscle therapy techniques, and crafting my own path when “traditional” wasn’t enough.

Now I help others navigate those same stuck places with:

• A proprietary, gentle approach to chiropractic care
• Adapted techniques for sensitive or trauma-informed bodies
• Functional medicine that addresses the root—not just the symptoms
• An integrated mind-body approach to every injury
• Zero pressure. No cookie-cutter plans. Just personalized, thoughtful care.

Afraid of Natural Health? Been Burnt by Chiropractic?

You’re not alone. Many of our patients arrive skeptical, exhausted, and a little jaded.
We’re the home for the “wayward souls” of health care—those who’ve been pressured into big treatment plans or told their pain was “just something you have to live with.”

We’ve helped thousands who felt out of options:

• Traveling nerve pain and numbness
• Headaches and migraines
• Tension and TMJ
• Carpal tunnel
• Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
• Knee pain, including runner’s knee and patellar tendinitis
• Chronic back and neck issues

Let us be your lighthouse of hope.
