Luke Bigby

One of the most meaningful moments in my career, something I often reflect on when I need a reminder of my purpose, was with my very first patient outside of school.

As a yoga therapist, exercise physiologist and functional movement specialist, I was just venturing out on my own, in my business. One of my first clients came to me because she was in severe back pain and wanted alternative methods for pain relief. We started working together twice per week and her pain was gone within two weeks! This is where most people move on with their life, but she knew there was more I could offer her and continued to see me twice per week. She has learned better movement patterns, has gained so much strength and can do things as a 55 year old woman that she never thought she could do again! Read more>>

I’m a pretty gentle person, so a I coaxed her down on the table and got her to start belly breathing. She was so terrified, however, that I was only able to place one tiny pin in her body. Then she cried for the rest of the hour while I held her hand. I left the room defeated. thinking that I had done nothing for her and wasted both of our time. A few months later, however, I got a call from her saying, “I don’t know what you did, but my pain is gone.” I was floored! This is not what I was taught would happen in acupuncture school.

People often assume that growth comes in comfort. But for me and my family, the opposite was true. We left behind a financially stable life in Oregon, a beautiful home, steady income, and predictability because we felt a tug in our spirit that wouldn’t let go. It didn’t make sense on paper, but it made sense in our soul. Read more>>
