REWRITE YOUR STORY
REACH YOUR GOALS
As of 2021, after 25 years in Vancouver, building and practicing in 3 successful multi-practitioner clinics, helping thousands of people reach their health & wellness goals, my wife Chantal, my 3 boys (Salix Ari and Axel), Ollie (pooch), Soul (kitty) and I moved to Salt Spring Island to start a new chapter of life.
