“I just want you to know that you did save my life.” 

“I had been suffering from depression for about 12 years now. I had an anxiety disorder that took me a couple years to overcome. I did not enjoy or have any desire to live life. I felt completely out of control. For the first time in 12 years, I can say I am happy and enjoy life. My road rage is completely gone now. I used to get headaches at least 3 or 4 times a week. Since I started, I have had one headache that didn’t last long. My mother and brother have told me how much happier and better I look countless times. The longest I have been angry is for a few seconds. I used to hold on to that anger for hours and even sometimes days. It took me between 30 minutes to an hour to fall asleep normally. Now it takes 5 minutes at most. I have regained control over my life, and my stress has gone away.

I really just wanted to thank you for teaching these things to me. I will never forget what this has done for me. I just want you to know that you did save my life.

– Jacob N.

A short introduction of Dr. Olpin by Heather McKenzie at a recent speaking engagement in northern Utah.

My Mission

I know what I do works.

My goal is to give you tools that you can use every day to reduce and minimize the effects of your stress.

I’m committed to helping you heal.

Because people are different, what works for one may not always work for another, but we use enough powerful tools that at least a few and usually several will work to help you effectively turn off stress and feel a lot better. 

And the more you use the tools, on a daily basis, the more calm, peaceful, and relaxed you will feel every day.
