He grew up in Boston with an alcoholic mother and emotionally unavailable father in a volatile and chaotic household.John hit an emotional bottom in October 2020, which made him realize that despite his years of therapy and 12-step programs - he still had not addressed his fear of abandonment, people-pleasing tendencies and inner child wounds. His subsequent recovery journey led him to Field Dynamics - an energy healing modality created by Keith Parker.
