Dennis pursued his Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree at Misericordia University in Dallas, PA. After college, he returned to his hometown in the Utica, NY area where he gained valuable experience treating people with various orthopedic and neurological conditions (Parkinson's Disease). He then moved to Seattle, WA where he enjoyed working with people in both conservative ( = non-operative) and post-operative treatment in an orthopedic-sports setting.

Dennis has a history of sports-related injuries that sidelined him time and again. At PT he was fortunate enough to see the close relationships fostered between patients and their therapists, and believes this is an integral part of the patient experience.

Dennis enjoys working in the orthopedic setting with various patients, alongside working on people's balance to improve safety and reduce their risk of falls.

His hobbies include playing/watching soccer (big Manchester United fan), hiking, biking, trail running, reading, playing with his cat, and going for walks with his girlfriend.

About the Speaker Jeri Ching - I Ho (She/Her) is an acupuncturist, bodyworker, Chinese Medicine herbalist, and artist of many walks. To her, service to others means to continually engage in a healing relationship with her whole self - body, heart, mind, and Spirit. As a Denver native, Jeri is blessed that years of study and service have culminated in a Women's Whole Health practice based in Denver, CO. Her Chinese Medicine practice springs from and continues to be inspired by the healing and sense of empowerment that activates when she is able to completely surrender and relax into the moment in her Taichi practice. Jeri was drawn to the Chinese Healing Arts - including ancient Chinese philosophy, meditation, acupuncture and internal martial arts - in college as a way to better understand herself, her heritage, and her health where Biomedicine provided only symptomatic relief. In the process, Jeri rediscovered a deep sense of empowerment and authority. It is the experience of belonging powerfully to herself that Jeri wishes to share with others. With gratitude for this life-long journey, she invite you to experience and interact with your body and soul's authentic wellness and ever-evolving truth. Jeri is dedicated to helping you rediscover empowerment within the healing process.
