Mile High Hometown Unsung Hero, Dr. Simon Dove, the Man Behind the Mile High Shirt, is the very special guest on this episode of The Mile High Podcast. Simon attended the very first Mile High Weekend and every Mile High since. He’s also the President of the Mile High Foundation. At age 24, Dr. Simon Dove never thought his life’s direction would take such a drastic turn. An aspiring artist, he traveled to Padova, Italy to sell his art and live with his uncle, a chiropractor practicing Network Spinal Analysis. It was in Italy that Simon received his first training and was turned around professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. Soon after returning from Italy, Dr. Dove entered Atlanta’s Life Chiropractic College (now Life University) in 1992. He began training at a basic-level intensive seminar with Dr. Donald Epstein, founder of NSA. Upon graduation from Life in 1997, Dr. Dove had completed both Intermediate and Advanced Intensive Seminars, as well as four Trans-formational Gates. Yoga became an important role in Dr. Dove’s life, both inside and outside of NSA, and he developed a strong personal practice. From August 2003 to November 2004, Dr. Dove worked internationally within several yoga teaching workshops, where he wove his experiences of spinal health into the yogic disciplines. His objective was to develop a more in-depth connection between the healing modalities. His approach to yoga today reflects this fusion. Soon after leaving New York, Simon ran two wellness centers on the New Hampshire seacoast. Today, Dr. Dove is the happy owner and principal doctor at the Chiropractic Wellness Center in Fort Collins. He holds the highest level of NSA certification and is a certified SRI Wellness Educator. In this episode, you’ll hear Dr. Simon talk about: • His road to chiropractic, to Colorado, and to attending his first Mile High • His experience in Mile High and then stepping up to be an MC • What's changed legislatively regarding Chiropractic in Colorado • The Mission and Role of the Mile High Foundation • And MUCH more!
