He was headed for the precipice of a full-fledged hip replacement. This extreme stress caused Christopher's hearing to wane, and his vision to dim, compelling him to read lips for communication. Amidst unyielding adversity, Christopher dedicated himself to seeking out the answers that would help alleviate his discomfort. His self-healing journey began with the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Yo San University, where the tapestry of Traditional Chinese Medical Practices interwove with Western science and pathology. After a transformative decade under the tutelage of Grand Master Mantak Chia at Thailand's Universal Tao Master School, Christopher realized the power of what he had learned and made it his mission to guide others through the fog of accumulated stress in their lives. Christopher's profound wisdom birthed the holistic paradigm—True Body Intelligence technology—a fusion of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual enlightenment. His guidance garnered success in luminaries throughout sports, entertainment, commerce, medicine, and global diplomacy. Rooted in Los Angeles, CA, Christopher orchestrates metamorphosis from his sanctuary. His revolutionary methodology dissects pre-cognitive subconscious stress imprints, effecting instantaneous and lasting transformations of the physical and spiritual self and helps them transcend the original root causes of thier pain, trauma, and stress.
