Dr. Danise developed a passion for helping others with their health when her son's life was in jeopardy and was saved by a B.E.S.T. chiropractor. Watching her son emerge from his health crisis gave her a desire to help others reclaim their health and their life.
Dr. Danise developed a passion for serving others early in life through 4-H club activities. She became a high school Nutrition and Homemaking teacher, believing this would have the greatest impact on the largest number of young people, providing them with the tools to teach their own families healthy choices for generations. Dr. Danise graduated with honors receiving a B.S. degree from Texas Woman’s University. She began teaching in Barstow, California, where her Marine Corps husband (her high school sweetheart) was stationed. When they returned to Texas, she taught high school in Desoto for 19 years; but in the midst of her career, tragedy struck. Their only child had a migraine stroke and collapsed on the floor partially blind and partially paralyzed. The neurologists feared the medication available for his stroke would kill him and they offered no alternatives. He had suffered with migraines for nine years, since age two. Their son had never really enjoyed good health, despite all the nutritional education and diet diligence. He had severe allergies and almost died from an asthma attack. He had a suppressed immune system and was often ill. He spent nine years receiving injections for his allergies and immunity, but his condition only grew worse. By age ten, he was diagnosed with Sever’s Disease, the deterioration of the growth plates in his feet. At age eleven, he had a migraine stroke. It was expected that he would have more strokes and would probably not live to graduate from high school. A church member recommended a B.E.S.T. chiropractor who was turning around health conditions of many who had not found solutions with their medical doctors. After six months of B.E.S.T. and a strict alkaline vegan diet, their son completely recovered from ALL health problems. He regained his sight, recovered from his paralysis, recovered from Sever's Disease, no longer had athsma and allergies, and no longer had severe migraine headaches. Now, teaching nutrition became real life to her students because they learned the effects of food on the body, which foods cleanse and build, how to use diet to reverse disease, and the impact of popular diets and trends and how, over time, these create disease in the body. Students, parents, and even the principal sought her advice and got well. Dr. Danise’s dream of reaching generations was being realized, but her passion for teaching now went beyond the classroom. She would work toward her next career of becoming a B.E.S.T. practitioner so people without hope could find solutions and reclaim their health and their life. It took 16 years of study and preparation before she would be able to attain the certification for B.E.S.T. practitioner.
Dr. Danise received her first credential as a Certified Natural Health Professional specializing in body work and nutrition. She became a member of The Council on Nutrition to the American Chiropractic Assn, Inc. She studied Ki-Iki-Jutsu, oriental energy medicine. She attended massage therapy school in 1998. Dr. Danise received her doctorate in Naturopathy from Trinity College of Natural Health in 2002 with certifications in herbology and nutritional counseling. She immediately applied to attend the Morter Health System Training seminars to learn B.E.S.T. (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) which had saved her son’s life. Dr. Danise now holds the title of B.E.S.T. Elite Master and is invited to help train other doctors in the technique. Through all of her education and training, her goal has been to help people find solutions to “Live Well” for a lifetime.
Dr. Danise began her practice in 1998 in her home, but soon found a place working with Dr. Phillip Bellows, a B.E.S.T. chiropractor in Irving, Texas. As a B.E.S.T. Naturopathic Doctor, she worked along side Dr. Elizabeth Taylor, D.C. in Grand Prairie for three years. In 2004, Dr. Danise retired from teaching in Grand Prairie, opening the Natural Health Clinic in Cedar Hill in 2005 where she works today. Dr. Danise believes that health professionals should have a burning passion for the work they do and a sincere love for people. That, along with the desire to please God, is the deepest form of caring.
