As a doctor of chiropractic, I often have discomforts develop in my upper back and neck from the physical and emotional stresses that come with running my practice. Through a professional colleague's recommendation, I went to be evaluated and treated by Ian. After taking a history and examination, he was able to locate and successfully treat the soft tissue issues that were leading to the pain I was feeling. His manual skills as a practitioner are second to none. In addition to routinely supplying me with his beneficial forms of soft tissue work, Ian introduced me to his energy work skills and these have been very effective in helping me to balance my emotional stresses as well. Because of the successful care that I have received from Ian since beginning care, I have and will continue to refer patients, friends and family members to him for treatments.

I met Ian approximately 3 years ago. At that time, I was experiencing significant reduced range of motion in my left shoulder due to a mastectomy from 12 years ago. After 2 sessions with Ian, I achieved complete range of motion! I also have a significantly handicapped daughter who cannot stand, walk, see or hear (without the use of hearing aids). The physical and emotional demands required for her care are challenging. Ian has been instrumental in alleviating my upper and lower back pain caused by lifting her. He has also provided me with recommendations for breathing and relaxation techniques to reduce the stress I experience. Ian is an extremely knowledgeable and effective massage therapist who cares deeply about improving the quality of life for his clients, both mind and body. His ability to diagnose and treat the "whole person" is second to none! As a result of my work with Ian, I am better able to deal with the daily physical and emotional demands I encounter.

Before visiting Ian I went to many different doctors, physical therapists, and received cortisone shot for the pain in my arm. A friend recommended Ian to me. I was desperate for some help and I gave him a try. I started seeing Ian weekly as he massaged and used energy work to begin healing on my arm. During the sessions I was able to get to a place of deep relaxation. I felt some relief even after the first session. He recommended a support brace to wear while I worked in my office. The most significant part of my healing was his recommendation to begin a meditation practice. This put me in touch with a group in my community that helped settle my mind and open my heart. I continued to see Ian for a few months and now my arm and elbow are completely healed.

Through Ian I was introduced to the world of meditation and beyond. Before working with him, I knew there was "something more" I was searching for, but didn't know what it was or how to get there. Over the years, he has presented many spiritual tools and avenues I didn't know existed, and may not have found on my own. Since beginning my spiritual journey, though not the easiest one, discovering and living who I truly am has by far been the most rewarding.

I was drawn to work with Ian for spiritual growth and energy work. Being a busy, working mom with two teenagers, I often disregarded my own self care, not feeling important enough to take the time for me. I remember one of my first sessions with Ian, he worked a great deal on my abdominal area. Over the next few weeks I could feel the shift within my conscious mind, how I was making better, mindfulness choices about how I thought about myself, and the choices of what I put into my body. Often times when I was in "crisis" Ian, without hesitation, would fit me into his schedule. He always made feel like my "issues" were worth caring for. Ian's sessions are always very personal and individualized, not a routine but a true caring for the soul.
