Welcome To Caring Hands FDM Osteopathy Clinic

My journey began in a family dedicated to global service. Growing up with missionary parents, I learned early on that true purpose lies in serving others. From a young age, l sensed God’s call to blend medicine with ministry, healing not just the body but also the heart and spirit.

That calling led me to pursue a career in medicine. In 1996, I was honored to be part of the founding team of Christian Health Associates, where I saw firsthand how medical care could open doors to connection, faith, and transformation. These experiences deepened my understanding of how Christ’s healing ministry can be reflected in the work of our hands.

Today, I’m stepping into a new chapter I call my “second curve.”

Through the Foundation for the Advancement of FDM Osteopathy, I’m committed to equipping doctors with skills in the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) and osteopathic care. Our focus is clear: to serve regions of the world where both medical expertise and the hope of the Gospel are urgently needed.

By training and empowering doctors in underserved areas, we’re not only advancing medical care but also embodying Christ’s love in action.

This foundation is the culmination of my life’s calling – to extend His healing hands to a hurting world, uniting medical excellence, global service, and the transformative power of the Gospel.
