This Healthy Life

The origins of my business started in my early 20s when I broke my back in a surfing accident. I went from an 8x All-American Division 1 swimmer to barely being able to bend forward or go up and down stairs. After spending years looking for solutions to rehab my body, I came across the work I now teach others. The pain was my greatest teacher. Spending a decade of my life disabled taught me so many lessons about how to care for the body, what works, what doesn’t, and so on. I spent years chasing my back pain, only to find out that what was really preventing me from healing were my movement patterns. Sure, my back needed help, but I was neglecting everything else in search of magic back therapy. It wasn’t until I stopped chasing back pain and learned the art and science of how to get the entire body to move better that things took a positive turn in my life. I now do this with other people who have injuries, are in chronic pain, or don’t move like they used to; I teach them how to take a step back and change how they approach whatever problem with their body they are facing to get better results. The first time I discovered ‘movement pattern therapy’ was some 5+ years after breaking my back. It was never recommended, and I was never referred to it in my years in physical therapy. After my first session, feeling the change that I made myself by learning really simple exercises I could easily do at home; my mission became clear – to tell as many people as possible about this training style. I couldn’t believe something so simple and so effective was out there, and I had never heard of it. I didn’t want anyone else to spend years needlessly in pain like I did just because they never heard of this revolutionary style of training and rehabilitating movement. I went back to school and acquired as many certifications as possible because I wanted to bring this information to the world in a scalable way. I invested everything I had into creating an online program to teach people exactly what to do and how to do it. Some 10 years later, 4,000 lives changed across the globe, and that dream is becoming a reality.

Kendra's Story:

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2017, I found that eating a strict gluten-free diet was very challenging due to many instances where food in restaurants contained gluten, even though it should have been gluten-free. After getting sick many times, I decided to train a gluten detection dog. We have been training since Suki was 6 months old. She checks all my food, medicine, and personal care products. She has already saved me several times from getting violently ill from gluten.

Kim Rogers is such a trailblazer and wealth of knowledge in the world of parasite cleansing, sharing her message of encouragement to others – become an advocate of your own healing! Kim worked in the allopathic medical field for almost 20 years. She has a 4.0 average in all her education including Bach of Science with an emphasis in Health Services Managements & HR, Associates of Occupational Studies & Medical Specialties (Valedictorian here) with a major in Radiography & Minor in Psych. Kim was also a Healthcare IT & Technical Recruiter, Education Chair and Professor, Program Director, and Medical Specialist. We could keep going, but it’s quite obvious she has extensive medical training and experience educating others.

After years of failed western medical approaches, despite working the industry – Kim’s health was in devastating decline. No stranger to research, Kim went down the rabbit hole of self healing and natural medicine, an approach that addresses root causes rather than the symptom management that most doctors today adhere to. Her first parasite cleanse was with a company called Paraguard, which is no secret, because Kim documenting that experience is what led her to go viral on Tiktok, sparking huge interest from people all over the world who were witnessing her results and desiring change for themselves – many after a lifetime of going in circles within the seemingly never ending hampster wheel of allopathy medicine.

Two years in, Kim’s disciplined cleansing, researching and experimenting with varieties of parasite cleanses on the market compelled her to formulate a protocol for anyone wanting to cleanse with the most effective, supportive, and successful experience. She researched old school herbalism and plant medicine to formulate an inclusive kit for both first time users and seasoned cleansers alike. This is how Parafy came to be, and we couldn’t be more excited about the waves it is making in the Natural Health & Wellness Community.
