I grew up around decent health concepts and on farms which gave me a pretty solid foundation to look for answers in the right places. A little over 10 years ago I decided to make health a larger part of my life and begin sharing it with others. I went to school to learn Massage Therapy and Neuromuscular Therapy.

While working in the industry I was not coping well with my own stress and definitely was not feeling well. I took an opportunity to get some advanced training in nutrition with the M'lis Company and it turned my world upside down. Besides gaining a great partner and a massive amount of knowledge and tools, I learned that I was struggling with a Candida infestation and probably had been my whole life. My recent stress overdose of working full time, plus being an Air Force Reservist and finishing my Bachelor's Degree ALL AT THE SAME TIME, was too much and what was left of my immune system finally crashed. I started working on the M'lis candida protocol (it's their specialty) to heal myself and within weeks I was becoming a whole new person. Soon after, we realized that this was also the very same thing that was terribly affecting my toddler son and wife.

We journeyed on a whole family healing journey that has completely transformed everything about us. We blogged about our journey years ago and you are welcome to read about it here. After a couple years of continuing my bodywork practice, improving my clinical skills to include medical massage, developing some balancing techniques of my own, and adding nutrition and lifestyle consulting as a Holistic Health Practitioner, I decided I needed to learn more. I enrolled in a graduate program for Health Education and Holistic Nutrition. It was during this time that I very quickly began to understand the power that stress has in our lives. It was the final piece to my healing journey and became the focus of all of my work. I drove my teachers and classmates nuts with all my rambling about stress elimination. What came out of all of this is what you see in front of you today.

I developed a stress elimination model called Perception Rehabilitation and use it as the focus for all of my Health Education and Holistic Practice. If you are talking to me about health, I guarantee you we are talking about stress. After learning that 75-90% of all doctor visits are directly attributed to stress, I set out to conquer it. This led me to a personal, spiritual transformation that I live to this day, to change my beliefs and perceptions of the world around me so that I can be whole and not live in a stress dominate mindset. I am always continuing my education to be better and provide better education to those who need it. I am working on becoming a Naturopath and enhancing my educational platform by developing these online classes. Keep in touch, we are transforming steadily. Thank you for your interest in IATAI.
