Please welcome Danielle, our summer intern!

My name is Danielle, and I am entering my junior year at Endicott College, where I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. I chose to intern here because of my own personal experience with a concussion. After trying numerous treatments with little success, a friend recommended this clinic—and for the first time, I began to see meaningful improvement. That progress sparked my curiosity about the science behind the methods used here. I wanted to understand why the treatment was working so well, which ultimately led me to pursue this internship. For fun, I like to play with my dog, go to the gym, and try new recipes. Through this experience, I hope to deepen my knowledge of the techniques Dr. Andy uses and gain a clearer understanding of the principles behind their effectiveness

Dr. Andy recently attended the QSM³ Module 3 class, taught by the creator of the technique.

This powerful experience brought together doctors from across the globe—one even traveling from Australia—to deepen their understanding of this evolving method.

QSM³ continues to revolutionize how we perceive the body's traumas, compensations, and innate energetic capacity for healing.
We remain committed to growth and transformation, continually evolving so that we can help people even more deeply and effectively.
