Eric's Story
As a lifelong athlete Eric has always had an interest in health and fitness. His passion and dedication became so apparent that while he was still in high school, people would ask him to design programs for them to improve their health and fitness and from there, he never looked back.
And then … on July 31, 1999 everything changed. An event happened that had a profound effect on the Holistic Practitioner he would become.
On that day, Eric was rear-ended at a traffic light by a large truck traveling at over 50 mph. Eric’s entire spine was severely injured from top to bottom. From his neck down to his legs, Eric’s body was in constant, acute nerve pain with periods of such severe pain he could not walk.
“I did all different types of therapy and pain management for years,” explained Eric. “I got a little better a little worse, a little better, then a little worse … “
And then one day, after yet another injury, he got the “magic a-ha” moment:
“All of my personal training background and exercise experience continued to get me hurt because general exercise is a dangerous tool and if you have any structural imbalances (as almost everyone does) you will, at some point, get hurt.”
Eric began to study and practice multiple disciplines. He studied under leading chiropractors, and under Founder Paul Chek of The C.H.E.K Institute, a world-renowned expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology.
“That’s how I learned to go from A to Z step-by-step-by-step,” explains Eric. “Every time you try to skip a step because you get impatient, you get hurt. I learned how to systematically and safely progress through each level.”
Putting together everything he learned, Eric recovered from his injuries and continues to thrive. So much so that his spine is a case study in one of the CBP chiropractic textbooks.
The principles I learned in spinal rehabilitation I’ve been able to apply all orthopedic injuries, imbalances and dysfunction. Now, when people come to me in pain, I can understand and empathize with everything they’ve gone through and I can help them feel better in a fraction of the time it took me.
In the course of his rehabilitation and coaching others, Eric has developed a powerful passion for Life Coaching. “In Life Coaching, I help people overcome limiting beliefs and create new powerful thought patterns, life goals, and dreams.”
Bottom line: “My own journey allows me to help other people through challenges, stress, breakdowns, and breakthroughs.”
