Paul E Youngquist, LMT CFNC
Hello,
My name is Paul and I have dedicated my life to creating pathways for the body, mind, and spirit to come together in harmony. I am grateful for the gift I have been given: a life filled with purpose and passion, where I am able to do work that I truly believe benefits humanity as a whole. I am pleased to have you here.
Healing has been a central theme throughout my life's journey. Like you, I have experienced moments of regret and hope, uncertainty and clarity, suffering and healing.
If you are curious about how I found the confidence to embark on my healing journey, it began with a determination to overcome intense anxiety and panic attacks that disrupted my teenage years. Traditional pharmaceuticals and therapy did not offer me the solutions I was seeking.
Several years later, I faced a life-threatening health crisis that sparked a lifelong pursuit of healing. The diagnosis of viral meningitis was terrifying for a young, otherwise healthy man like myself. Dissatisfied with conventional medical approaches, my curiosity and determination led me to explore natural and holistic healing methods. I had already acquired a foundation of knowledge in supplements.
Reflecting on my past, I acknowledge the significant influence of my upbringing on my healing path. Growing up in a family where allopathic interventions were common due to my mother's nursing background, I developed a disdain for mainstream medicine and sought a more balanced and grounded approach to healing. Working in my father's garden and creating remedies from plants I grew sparked my interest in natural healing. An article in the local newspaper introduced me to the power of support groups and community, and I later delved into energy healing, meditation, massage, and Yoga. Countless opportunities for learning presented themselves as I embraced a lifelong commitment to education, including attending the Food as Medicine Conference in DC, which inspired me to incorporate this knowledge into my practice.
During my journey, there were moments of pure joy that brought tears to my eyes as I reveled in the possibilities and envisioned how others could benefit from the wisdom I was gaining. Driven by my passion and ambition, I pursued further education in massage, essential oil science, energy techniques, and ultimately focused on Functional Nutrition Counseling.
Some significant areas of study in my journey are: A licensed massage therapist since 2001 Graduate of the Functional Nutrition Lab - Full Body Systems program 2020 Essential oil science Infrared therapy Yoga Meditation Diets impact on lifestyle Advanced metabolic testing Organic gardening Nutrition Bio-hacking Color therapy Vibration therapy Through my experiences and education, I have developed certain beliefs. I believe that setbacks can serve as motivation for a comeback, that everything needed to heal the body, mind, and soul can be found on Earth, and that individuals have the power to achieve their well-being goals with the right guidance.
I am filled with gratitude for the many skilled helpers and healers who have been part of my journey. As a young man, I found my purpose in life: to dedicate myself to guiding others in their quest for well-being. Witnessing the transformations my clients achieve with my assistance brings me immense joy. I illuminate the path, but it is up to you to take each and every step. Let’s start your journey now.
