At age 16. At that time\xa0I was 9 months into a 26 month treatment for leukemia, 80 pounds overweight and in such bad physical condition that I literally could not walk 3 blocks without almost passing out. I felt like my life was completely slipping away from me.\xa0 That\u2019s when I decided to take back control of my health through diet, exercise and living a healthier lifestyle. My body was completely transformed in 22 months.\n\nWhen contemplating a career, I realized that I wanted to help other people the same way, so\xa0I began to work in fitness training at age 22.\xa0I quickly realized that many\xa0people are struggling with physical\xa0problems that restrict their ability to be active and do what they want to do.\xa0\xa0I felt so sorry for these people because most of them had been to Doctors and Therapists and they were still having problems.\n\nI knew I needed to find a way to help them.\xa0\xa0As fate would have it, I discovered something absolutely amazing that nobody else was doing. I discovered Muscle Activation\xa0Techniques (MAT).\xa0 \xa0MAT answered so many questions I had as a practitioner about why things\xa0were the way they were with peoples bodies, and it gave me a way to solve problems that couldn\u2019t be solved any other way.\xa0 Since\xa0then, I\u2019ve\xa0performed\xa0MAT on hundreds of people, and I\u2019ve seen\xa0so many\xa0lives transformed because of it. I\u2019m one of them!\xa0 Without MAT I\u2019d probably be close to crippled right now because of old back injuries. Thanks to MAT I live an active life and rarely ever have any discomfort in my body.\xa0 It is truly a gift from God!!!
