How it all started

In 1997 a friend asked me to join him on a six-month holiday in America. I ended up in Dallas, Texas playing rugby for three years for the Dallas Harlequins. A week before my return to South Africa in my last match I was offered a scholarship to study and play at the Life University of Chiropractic. I accepted the scholarship and began my chiropractic education not knowing that this was to be my calling…now I know, many years later and working as a chiropractor in South Africa. I admit that I never chose chiropractic as a profession, but during my second year, it became clear to me.

A world-famous French chiropractor, Arno Burnier came to speak at the University’s assembly. He started off by saying, “I want you to think about this, did you choose chiropractic or did chiropractic choose you?” No questions, I knew. Looking back at the road I had travelled and where I was sitting at the moment, it became perfectly clear to me that there are no coincidences. Chiropractic focuses on all aspects of healing, mind, body, and spirit.
