How leaving A corporate job to become an at-home caregiver gave me 48 hours to save my daughter’s life!

A family of 5. THE STANBERRYS wrote THEIR first family memoir in Autumn 2024 - It’s Never Too Late Sometimes©.

The memoir is about how THEY dealt with the shock of 2-year-old Samantha who was initially diagnosed with what was thought to be cancer, but later turned out to be an equally devastating disease - Severe Acute A-plastic Anemia.

What began as a routine doctor's visit spiraled into a lengthy 20+ years of treatment for Samantha. Despite this challenge Samantha in 2024 walked across the graduation stage to collect her Law degree, along with her siblings who earned BSc and MSc degrees in Artificial Intelligence. Samantha is now on the path to being called to the BAR.

Over 20 years, while going through the health challenge, all 5 of THEM earned 7 degrees from 1 University - the University of London, UK.

Total Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual Healing & integration for Caregivers - Christopher Mayer

At the age of 22, Christopher Lee Maher was a Navy SEAL, in his prime with a sleek 1.8% body fat and pound for pound, he was one of the fittest people on the planet. Like many high performing athletes, he dealt with joint pain on a semi-consistent basis. Over time, that escalated to pain in every joint, in his feet, lower back, and neck. He was headed for a full-blown hip replacement, resorted to reading lips because his hearing was shot, and his vision wasn’t much better.

Through intense pain, Christopher devoted all of his energy, time, and resources seeking out answers that would alleviate his discomfort. Eventually finding relief, Christopher applied the learned techniques and worked on himself 5 to 6 hours every day for 7 years.

Christopher went on to study at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Yo San University, where he learned Traditional Chinese Medical Practices and an equal amount of Western science and pathology. He spent the last decade studying at The Universal Healing Tao System and is a Master student of Grand Master Mantak Chia at the Universal Tao Master School in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

His knowledge and experience led him to develop a comprehensive system of total physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and integration: the True Body Intelligence technology. With his help, Christopher’s clients have succeeded at the highest levels in sports, entertainment, business, medicine, and international politics.
