In 2012 I experienced a life changing injury, while starting a business from scratch, less than a month before my partner at the time deployed to Afghanistan.
I call this the worst/best year of my life.
Worst because holy *$*% that was hard.
BEST because that one year taught me a lesson that changed my entire life AND the way I practice medicine, for good:
Our greatest setbacks launch our most pivotal comebacks.
The hardships of 2012 are literally the reason that RISE exists.
💉They’re the reason I turned to Prolotherapy and PRP injections to avoid my own surgery
🩺They’re the reason I opened my own regenerative medical practice to help other women avoid surgeries they knew in their bones weren’t right.
👩‍⚕️They led me to scar therapy, so I could help women recover from surgeries they had to have — completely, and with dignity
🫧They’re the reason I expanded to hyperbaric medicine, and then into aesthetic medicine.
🪄(Because it’s all the same thing: your body needs the same supports to heal a joint cell, a brain cell, a skin cell, a gut cell…)
They became the root of the entire philosophy of the medicine I practice: the injury, the surgery, the health crisis, the hormonal s**t storm, or waking up one day and not recognizing yourself in the mirror is not the END of the story. It’s literally the beginning of the next, most incredible, powerful, embodied becoming of your SELF.
These crisis are INVITATIONS. They ask us to decide if how we’re living is working the way we thought it would, if the choices we’ve made so far are going to take us where we’re meant to be, or if it’s time to change course. They help us not miss the most important turns of our lives.
If you’re at an inflection point and you don’t know what to do, that’s what we do. We ask the right questions, run the right tests, compare your lab values to OPTIMAL instead of “normal” ranges, and walk next to you as you learn your own owners manual. Then we add targeted nutrient, hormone, and injection protocols to fast track your healing.
If you’re ready to turn crisis into transformation, we’re waiting for you right behind this door. 💛
