The Accident That Changed Everything

In 2015, I was rear-ended at a stoplight. It wasn't dramatic. No explosion, no ambulance. Just a regular day that suddenly wasn't.

What followed was years of chronic pain, medical dismissals, being told it was "just whiplash" or "all in my head," and watching my body slowly betray me in ways no scan could capture.

I went from being fully mobile to barely functional. From independent to needing help with basic tasks. From feeling whole to feeling... broken.

And when the medical system couldn't help me — when chiropractors, physical therapists, pain management doctors, and specialists all ran out of answers — I had to find my own way forward.

How I Found This Work

I didn't find healing in a hospital. I found it in the margins — in bodywork modalities that weren't covered by insurance, in energy work that doctors scoffed at, in practices that required me to trust my own body again when everyone else had dismissed it.

Myofascial release. Craniosacral therapy. Reflexology. Shamanic healing. Energy clearing. Movement rehab. Breathwork.

I tried everything. And slowly, piece by piece, I rebuilt myself.

Not because any one thing "fixed" me. But because I learned to work WITH my body instead of against it. To listen to what it was trying to tell me. To honor the pain instead of silencing it.

And in that process, I realized: this is what I'm meant to do.

Why I Do This Work

I started Dynamic Body Therapies in 2017 because I kept meeting people like me — people who'd been dismissed, gaslit, or told their pain "wasn't real enough" to warrant help.

People whose bodies were screaming but whose scans looked "fine."

People who were exhausted from explaining themselves to practitioners who didn't listen.

People who needed someone to meet them where they were — not where they "should" be according to some textbook or protocol.

I do this work because I know what it's like to be in that place. And I know what it takes to get out.
