Our story
Founded on a refusal to give up
Active Healing didn't start in a boardroom. It started with a five-year-old who medicine couldn't help, and a different idea about what healing could be.
Sargent Goodchild Founder
Meet Sarge
Five years of seizures. Then everything changed.
At five years old, Sargent Goodchild was diagnosed with severe epilepsy. For five years his seizures were uncontrollable from a medical and pharmaceutical standpoint. What finally changed everything wasn't another prescription. It was movement. Through NeuroDevelopmental Movement he relearned the body's earliest patterns, crawling and creeping, and his brain began to reorganize.
He had his last seizure at age 10 and has stayed seizure-free, and medication-free, ever since. That recovery became his life's work. For over 30 years Sarge has helped children and adults reach the same kind of breakthroughs, and today he is one of the most experienced NeuroDevelopmental Movement practitioners in the country.
“I have always striven to make the journey of Active Healing's clients shorter than my own personal story.” Sargent Goodchild, FounderStart a conversation
