Self-love embraces navigating optimal wellness journeys and approaching personal decisions as if advising a best friend. One regional holistic doctor takes every aspect of this concept to heart. Healing through both science and spirit, Chris Motley, D.C., DABCA, founded his practice in 2004 to help people recover from chronic illnesses by addressing physical, emotional and energetic health.
"My mission is to eliminate fear surrounding health information and empower individuals to take control of their well-being," he assures. "It all starts from within. We have to truly connect with our bodies to heal."
This undertaking is rooted in Dr. Motley's own healing journey, as he now assists patients in Murfreesboro and the Nashville region. His unique approach integrates modern technology with time-honored practices, recognizing physical, neurological and emotional health as interconnected aspects of overall well-being. He holds a bachelor's degree in biology from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri, and certifications in acupuncture, kinesiology and Neuro-Emotional Technique.
Self-care techniques he recommends include facial work to release PTSD (such as EFT Tapping, myofascial release or stretching); animal-shiver release exercises to reduce trauma; colon cleansing; stomach massages to release grief; kidney cleansing to avoid UTIs; and emotional heart strengthening through sternum massages.
"We can't move forward emotionally if our body isn't ready," he explains.
When he's not with patients, he's recording The Ancient Health Podcast or speaking at wellness events nationwide. As podcast host, he merges ancient Eastern wisdom with cutting-edge Western innovations to offer practical solutions for today’s health challenges. Essentially, he's a globally recognized alternative health practitioner who specializes in traditional Chinese medicine, frequency medicine and kinesiology.
Through his passion for holistic wellness education, Dr. Motley inspires individuals to practice self-love through intentional health care. His consultations are by-appointments only.
