After sixteen years of practice,
I have turned another corner, chiseled the barnacles
off the vessel of my career, cleared the decks and
re-set the sails for a new direction. I feel in many
ways that I am not just relocating my practice but
truly starting over.
Over the last year many journeys
have ended for me but I’m starting anew and
know that many journeys are yet to be discovered.
As with all of us, we enter a time in our lives when “things”,
for whatever reason, change.
Perhaps it is some huge karmic design,
or some greater plan but never-the-less life will
briefly show us many opportunities, and as quickly
as they are shown, they will disappear. Recognizing
the right opportunities and acting upon them is challenge,
but essential for achieving one’s life goals.
My excitement of re-locating the
clinic has turned into a very personal reward of
moving my practice back towards its original direction.
What I have envisioned for many years has quickly
materialized into a simple but ‘ideal’ environment
for providing a unique healing service. We have known
for years the best place to heal or better yet to
providing healing lies within the home.
Our new home on Chicago Street is
enabling myself and my staff to put focus on the
process of helping individuals to regain their health.
Small as it is, the new clinic provides the warmth
and comfort, the right state of mind and healthy
energy to direct individuals to true health.
Many of you who have gotten to know
me over the years, know my single, primary intent
when I enter into a treatment room. That intent is
to restore health into a body that has been neglected,
abused, medically misdiagnosed, overmedicated or
a surgical failure. I realize there is a time and
place for all treatment modalities, but what I see
are failures of a health care system based primarily
upon treatment of symptoms, not the cause. When everything
else has failed, I find thinking “out of the
box” is often the only course to healing and
restoring quality to a person’s life.
My emphasis with the new move is
to sharpen my Chiropractic, nutritional and energetic
medicine skills; the professional skills of the staff
and to refocus our direction to True North.
I found out over the years that
it is so easy to slip away from the direction we
often set and end up somewhere off course, often
into a rocky shore.
For those who have already visited
our new home, “Thank You” for your continued
patronage and the continued interest in your own
health. For those who haven’t been in, we will
be here when you need us. For now I wish you the
Best of Health.
