About Me

After years in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, much of that time devoted to cancer and hospice care, I felt compelled to return to the foundations of my Osteopathic and Natural Medicine training. That calling led me to establish an exclusively hands-on practice in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, or, as I call it, Cranio-“sacred” Therapy.

This approach recognizes the intrinsic connection between body and soul and aligns naturally with my vocation as an Orthodox priest. It is a holistic discipline that supports the body’s innate capacity to restore balance and well-being through gentle, mindful touch.

Every system of care rests on a guiding philosophy. Conventional medicine, or allopathy, focuses on opposing disease symptoms through medications or procedures. An approach valuable in trauma and critical illness, yet one that seldom addresses underlying causes. My clinical experience prompted a search for gentler, more integrative methods such as functional medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and acupuncture, all of which honor the body’s inherent wisdom to heal.

Seeking a more comprehensive understanding of pain and suffering, I advanced my Osteopathic training at the Osteopathic College of Ontario and pursued deeper study in the Biodynamic approach. My interests also led me beyond medicine into pastoral counseling, Christian spirituality, and interfaith studies, ultimately culminating in ordination within the Orthodox Christian Church.

Through Soul Body Medicine, I offer a path for those seeking relief from pain and distress, complementary support alongside conventional care, or comfort at the end of life. My commitment is to provide a safe, respectful, and confidential environment where healing, understanding, and peace can emerge naturally.
