My Story

The knowledge and work I do is based on my own 20+ years of chronic pain and symptoms. This is important for several reasons; I understand every facet of this work because I went through it myself, and because I tried everything to get free. I found the way out, but that was only after years of education, reading, researching, and testing.

I was a successful actor and radio announcer when I woke up one day, and my life changed. My symptoms seemingly ‘came out of the blue’ in 2004. I tried absolutely everything and saw every doctor there was, but the symptoms never went away. Some years were better, some worse, and some changed, but they never went away, remaining a constant source of fear and frustration.

Years ago, someone had introduced me to Dr. John Sarno. I was given the book THE MINDBODY PRESCRIPTION. I was incensed. Dr. Sarno talked about the mind and pain, how the brain and nervous system are actually responsible for almost ALL chronic pain and symptoms. The cause of most chronic pain is actually rooted in our emotional and psychological world. I threw the book against the wall, “But my pain is REAL! … my mind didn’t create this … I’m not making this up!” Sadly, it took me a few more years to understand what Dr. Sarno was talking about. It took a very nasty flare and extreme desperation to pick Dr. Sarno up again, and this time I started to understand what he was talking about.

Sarno founded this syndrome in the 1970s and laid the basic understanding of where more than 90% of chronic pain and symptoms come from, but other physicians who have picked up this torch, together with new medical science, have learned so much more about chronic pain and symptoms; where they come from, why we have them, what purpose they serve, and how to release them. New science is making leaps and bounds in pain research, and the old-school medical model is slowly catching up.

When I found out what my pain truly was and why I had it, I healed. This was so mesmerizing to me that I realized that the world had to know. Millions of people are struggling unnecessarily. What the world has been taught about chronic pain and symptoms is wrong. It’s based on the old school medical model, but science has now proven that these outdated beliefs and methodologies are no longer valid.

At that point, I quit my career as a TV/film and radio performer to pursue this field. I went back to school, taking all the learning, courses, reading, studies, conferences, experimenting, and researching I could, so I am able to help others find their own way out. And have been doing so ever since.
