Hello Friends, Family and Colleagues,
Thank you for taking some time to look at my page and see what I've been up to! Some of you may know that I am currently in my fifth quarter of twelve at Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area. It didn't take me long to realize that I have found my true calling in life, and for that I am extremely grateful.
On December 16, 2018 I will be embarking on a 7 day trip to Malinalco, Mexico. I'll spend 2 days of service adjusting the beautiful community of Malinalco, alongside other US chiropractic students and doctors. Another 2 days will be spent in seminar, learning from our host Dr. John Martinez.
I am traveling with 9 chiropractic students from Life West. Each of us has dedicated countless hours, early in the morning and after classes into our training-- training not only for physical preparation, but also training our commitment, connection and intention to those who we will serve at the highest level possible. Upon arriving in Mexico City, we will shuttle to Malinalco with our trip coordinator, Dr. John Martinez. Dr. John runs a thriving practice in Denver, CO and takes students and doctors to Mexico twice a year. You can find out more about Pneuma here.

Why Chiropractic? Chiropractic is a three-pronged approach for taking care of our nervous system. Science, art and philosophy are the essential components of chiropractic care. We know that the brain controls all of the body's functions, including breathing, heart rate, digestion, movement, sensation etc. The brain controls all these functions via the nervous system, housed in the bony spinal column, and from there branches to every tissue in the body. Think of the brain as the conductor of a symphony orchestra, and each instrument, like the tissues and organs, has an important role to play. If just one instrument is out of tune, the entire orchestra is affected. Similarly, the tissues of the body struggle to stay in harmony with one another when there is interference in the nervous system (including in the brain itself). This state of "dis-harmony" is called subluxation, and it impairs our bodies' ability to adapt properly to the environment. You can imagine how dampened function and performance of the nervous system will eventually lead to tissue dysfunction and disease.
When we are able to clear those interferences, the whole nervous system can be "tuned up" so to speak. Chiropractic accesses the nervous system primarily through the spine, and once those interferences are released, the body can once again tap into its natural healing abilities.
Why do I need your help? In order to make this trip a reality, it is going to require money. My goal of $2600 CAD ($2000 USD) will cover all potential expenses-- flight ($500); food, ground transportation, and lodging for 7 days ($1500). Food and proper hydration are especially important given the condition and volume of people we will serve.
If you feel that it is in your being to support this cause, then I am ready to graciously receive your gift. Your financial support means more to me than you know. Your support inspires me to keep learning and growing, and to come into the purpose that I am meant to serve. I am looking forward to the growth opportunities and transformation to come!
