Bio:

Dr. Devin DeGreif

I am a Change consultant. I am also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, intuitive healer, transformational coach and now author.

After experiencing my own trauma, grief and pain, I transformed those experiences into my passion to guide others to harness their natural abilities and invoke their power to truly live. Having taken the journey from deep places of grief to resounding joy myself. I deeply revere the capacity for each person to live a delight filled life, truly embodied in their being.

I am a Physical Therapist by trade and a Healer at heart. My personal life story has been one that could have made me lose all hope. All hope in life, all hope in myself and all hope of the possibility of life getting any better.

When I was a kid, I broke my tailbone 3 times. As a result, as I grew up I had horrible pelvic pain, unexplained urinary leakage, constipation, pain with my bowel movements and more. I was told by my gynecologist that everything was fine and I was “normal”. This didn’t feel normal to me. 

Over time I began to develop increasingly more back pain and knee pain. When I was 18, I had my first knee surgery then the following year a surgery on my other knee. I was better in some sense but worse off in many. The only thing that remotely helped me at the time was strength training. It felt like I had to hold my body together with my muscles in order to function. This led me to get my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science. 

The only options provided to me by modern medicine health care providers were more surgeries and pain medication. That did not feel right for me, so I carried on strength training.

Then, to add to it all, when I was 23 years old my mom was murdered.

Yes, my mom was wretchedly murdered!

I know, it’s a shock. It was for me.

I write all about it in my book “Good Grief: The Journey from Grief to Joy” coming out late spring 2025.

After that shocking experience, my health challenges not only encompassed my physical body but my spirit! I was depressed, numb, tormented and tattered.

I HATED being in my body! 

Basically y’all, I had to take my journey into my own hands. No one else was able to truly help me. 

I began with Physical Therapy school becoming a Pelvic Health and Orthopedic specialist. Thankfully, after PT school I found out about visceral manipulation which is where I learned how we stuff our emotions that are unprocessed into our organs. Also, how traumatic injuries can also be transmitted into the organs. THIS was when things started to really unfold, for the better. I then also began training in craniosacral therapy and meditation.
