This Isn't About Healing.

I spent 19 years as a perioperative nurse. I started at MD Anderson Cancer Center in 2007 -- one of the most respected cancer institutions in the world — and spent years in operating rooms watching the best surgeons on the planet do extraordinary work. I assisted in procedures across ortho, spine, neuro, GYN, pediatrics, plastics, and urology. I became a First Assist. I became a Director.

And I watched people come back. The surgeries addressed the disease. They didn't address what created it.

At some point I stopped asking "how do we treat this?" and started asking "why does this keep happening?" That question changed everything. I went back to school — nutrition, biochemistry, genetics.

What I found is that the body isn't broken. It's been deprived and burdened. The natural state of the body is harmony. Give the cell the right signals, remove the wrong ones, and it remembers how to work.

My wife and co-founder, Madeleine, is an RN, a personal trainer, a yoga instructor, and a pre/postnatal certified fitness specialist. She even teaches a mommy-and-me class — movement built for real mothers and their babies.

Her heart is women's and family health: pre and postnatal care, perimenopause and menopause, and the movement that carries a woman through every one of those seasons. Where I come at this from the operating room, she comes at it from the home and the whole arc of a woman's life.

She also quietly runs the machinery behind all of this — the systems, the design, the build -- while raising our daughter Evelyn. She shares it as The Holistic Momma, which now has a home of its own at theholisticmomma.com.
