Robynn has always been attracted to the healing arts, but it wasn't until she experienced the power of Chiropractic first hand after the birth of her first child that she decided to learn the art herself. So, the family picked up and moved to Iowa where Robynn graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in October of 2005. During school she became certified in Applied Kinesiology (AK) Chiropractic and after graduating she spent two and a half years working with a Chiropractor who is a teaching Diplomat in AK. During this time she refined and enhanced her skill.
When she started utilizing the Un-Cut FlorAlive™ Flower Essences she found her passion, helping her patients give their subconscious mind an opportunity to heal. She worked closely with the developer of the Un-Cut FlorAlive™ Flower Essences, traveling to Los Angeles, CA where they presented, demonstrated and researched the effectiveness of the Un-Cut FlorAlive™ Flower Essences.
When she was introduced to the Lifeline Technique™ she was thrilled to once again enhance her ability to facilitate healing at a subconscious level. The process of becoming a Certified Lifeline Practitioner was an amazing and humbling experience. She was honored to be able to work with Darren throughout her journey.
She also practices Total Body Modification (TBM), Retained Primitive Reflexes (RPR) and Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT). She has been running a private practice, Red Tree Natural Health, for the past 2 years. Robynn believes that every aspect of persons' body and life are an important piece of the whole. So, to achieve and maintain our optimal health we must treat the WHOLE person, with each part being as important as the next.
Robynn is very excited to be joining the team at The Optimal Way To Health and looks forward to working in such a positive and supportive environment.
Dr. Dan is from Grand Rapids, MI, where he worked as a counselor/therapist for four years before deciding to return to school. At 30, married with two children, he attended Palmer College of Chiropractic.
A few years after graduation, while practicing Applied Kinesiology, and teaching as adjunct professor at Aquinas College, he attended a seminar, Neural Emotional Technique, which assisted him with the triad of health; Physical-Chemical-Emotional. He was then fortunate to receive information about the Lifeline Technique. After meeting Dr. Darren and a few seminars later, he saw how deep and complete the Lifeline Technique is, and now almost eight years later, he has the honor of joining Dr. Darren and the staff at "The Way to Optimal Health."
The emphasis of the spiritual principles of Love so defines Dr. Dan and fits well into his lifestyle. He is now able to be teacher, counselor, and doctor, completing the parts of the puzzle. He accomplishes this with an array of methods he has studied over the last 27 years of practicing, including: Applied Kinesiology, Total Body Modification, Body Talk, Neuro Modulation Technique, Neuro Emotional Technique, C.R.A., Matrix Energetics, and most importantly, the Lifeline Technique. He loves sharing "Life" with his patients and offering a plethora of healing options. He looks forward to meeting you!
