“Good health is a process that often involves a substantive shift in mindset.”
During early childhood, Rodney Blount was diagnosed with two life-threatening illnesses and given a very poor prognosis. Doctors said he was very unlikely to live past the age of 10 or become an active adult. Deep down, he knew that he would beat the odds, and experienced no fear.
Around the age of 11, Rodney started investigating the esoteric aspects of martial arts and experienced an improvement in his overall state of health. Ultimately, against all medical predictions, he attended college on a football and track scholarship. He studied biology and exercise physiology in an effort to round out his knowledge of the mind-body connection.
Later in his college career, a severe automobile accident and debilitating athletic injuries awakened and intensified Rodney’s investigation of alternative healing methods. In an effort to heal himself and return to sports and the outdoors more quickly, he began to understand his passion for healing in a new way.
Although he continues to study the latest techniques in mind-body medicine with leading proponents in the field, the alternative approaches to healing are what ultimately captured and maintained his interest.
Where he works
Rodney’s primary residence is in Sun Valley, Idaho, where he sees clients in person. He also works frequently in San Francisco and Maui, travels to clients for multi-day on-site intensives, and works worldwide by video session.
