Tell us about Marblehead Natural Healing and why you started it. I’ve been a practicing chiropractor for 41 years and opened Marblehead Natural Healing in 2013 when my family moved to Marblehead. I became a chiropractor because my terrible seasonal allergies, menstrual cramps and acne went away by seeing a chiropractor and I wanted to help others discover the innate healing power in their bodies. I learned a long time ago that bones in the spine misalign due to muscle imbalances and muscle imbalances come from physical injury, repetitive use, poor posture, toxicity, poor nutrition and/or emotional and mental stress.
My goal is to help people lower accumulated stresses of all types so they create health they can depend on. I use a technique called Applied Kinesiology; a manual muscle testing technique that helps me ‘communicate’ with the body to understand what it needs to heal. I offer chiropractic adjustments, as well as design nutritional programs for strengthening immunity, supporting digestion and bowel health, lowering stress, improving sleep quality, boosting energy and aiding in detoxification. Another service I offer is neuro-emotional technique, a muscle testing technique that identifies emotional stress and where it’s located in the body, and helps rewrite the brain so that the stressor no longer triggers the fight or flight response. We also offer infrared sauna therapy for detoxification, metabolism boosting and stress reduction as well as BEMER therapy for improving microcirculation and pain reduction.
What is the best piece of business advice you’ve ever received? The best piece of business advice I learned was a model for how to bring excellence into my business. The model says to be excellent at something you must start as a beginner. Beginners need mentors to train them how to move towards excellence. I listed every facet of business on a piece of paper and identified where I could improve. I delegated everything that I wasn’t good at, got trained to get the skills I needed and now have a relatively stress-free business.
What is your favorite spot in Marblehead, and why? I love Front Street from Crocker Park to Fort Sewall. I love swimming near Fort Sewall, watching the fireworks on the Fourth of July and sitting by the water at The Landing. It’s pretty perfect.
What is something people would be surprised to learn about you? Something people would be surprised to know about me is that I tried my hand at stand-up comedy years ago. As you can see, I didn’t quit my day job.
