Theresa is a mother, military spouse, functional medicine physician assistant, mindfulness teacher, author, Army veteran, Olympic alternate, and 3xNCAA champion in gymnastics. She started my medical career at the University of Utah's PA program in 2005 and soon after joined the Army as a PA in 2009. During that time, she deployed to Tikrit, Iraq and earned a Bronze Star for service in a combat zone.  

Seeking more holistic approaches into wellness, Theresa branched into functional and integrative medicine as well as mindfulness and meditation.

Heather LeFevre:

board-directors

Originally from Texas, Heather graduated from The University of Texas with a BA in English and an MA in Communications and then set off on an exciting career in advertising and marketing living around the US and Europe developing strategies for brands such as Emirates Airline, Unilever, and Burger King. 

She wrote a book called Brain Surfing The Top Marketing Strategy Minds in the World that chronicles the year she spent traveling the world to work with top strategists while living with them and their families

Along the way, the stress and high heels, an abdominal surgery, and a dash of trauma led to pain that would not go away and began to limit her life. She discovered CranioSacral therapy to release trapped emotions and repattern her brain to get rid of the pain for good and became determined to bring this little known practice to others. She is now a techniques certified therapist and a certified movement trainer who never stops learning and is eager for the day when it is socially normal to seek support to heal ourselves and the tools to do so are easy to understand and access.
