Every journey to wellness begins with a story—and ours began with a child in pain and a doctor who refused to give up.

Dr. Garrett Hewstan knows firsthand the power of natural healing. As a child, he spent countless nights in hospital oxygen tents, struggling to breathe through severe asthma. Everything changed when his mother took him to a chiropractor, whose care freed him from medication dependency and gave him the freedom to thrive.

Years later, during his final year of chiropractic school, Garrett had an experience that would shape his life’s mission. A student clinic patient named Phyllis shared heartbreaking news: her 11-year-old grandson, Amari, had just passed away from complications of asthma. The story struck Garrett deeply—Amari was the same age he had been when chiropractic care saved his life. Garrett couldn’t help but wonder: What if I could have helped him?

In that moment, Garrett made a promise—to Amari, to his younger self, and to every person struggling with chronic pain or dysfunction—that he would dedicate his life to making natural healing accessible, effective, and empowering.

The result is the Amari Method: a seven-step protocol that delivers immediate relief while teaching clients how to care for their bodies for life. No ongoing dependency. No quick fixes. Just sustainable healing that starts in the first session.

Today, every person who finds freedom through the Amari Method carries forward the spirit of that promise—and honors the boy whose name reminds us why this work matters.
