My Story
From practitioner to Healthpreneur.
I was 17 when I lost all of my hair to an autoimmune condition. I didn't know it then, but that moment set the direction for my life. I went to the University of Toronto to study kinesiology and health sciences. I played soccer at the highest level I could, including a stint in France with the Lille OSC reserve team, and came home determined to help people get healthy.
Then reality hit. I was working 12 to 14 hour days, seeing clients one at a time, and I could see the ceiling clearly. In 2006 I took my work online. I started publishing on YouTube in 2007, long before most health professionals were there. Over the next decade I built, scaled, and eventually sold that business, and wrote a New York Times bestseller.
The thing that surprised me most was how many practitioners kept asking how I did it. Brilliant clinicians, stuck in the same 12-hour days I had lived. That is why I started Healthpreneur: to give health business owners the leadership, leverage, and authority it takes to scale without burning out.
