While his love for the culinary arts never died he decided to go back to his first passion, natural healing.
In 2003 Dr. Pace graduated from the C.O.R.E. Institute in Tallahassee, FL with a degree in massage therapy, specializing in myofascial therapy, and shortly thereafter became nationally certified by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). While working as a massage therapist at Natural Body Spa in Atlanta Dr. Pace met a client that would change his life, and his career path forever. His client suffered from debilitating pain from advanced Multiple Sclerosis (M.S.) that at times left her unable to walk. After 2 months of massage therapy and a referral to Dr. Pace’s chiropractors/mentors his massage client began making remarkable improvement. By her fourth month of care the patient was able to walk without pain and without the assistance of a walker or cane. This miraculous recovery inspired him to go back to school to become a doctor.
Dr. Pace began his undergraduate studies in nutrition and psychology at LIFE University in Marietta, GA. Once having fulfilled his prerequisites for the chiropractic program, he transferred to Parker University in Dallas, TX., where he graduated with a B.S. in Health & Wellness and a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree. During his internship at Parker, Dr. Pace was chosen by his school to participate in a community-based internship at New Beginnings Family Chiropractic in Keller, TX., which specializes in pregnancy, pediatrics, and fertility, an area in which Dr. Pace remains very passionate.
Dr. Pace believes that “If we teach our children and families in the community to start making wise decisions regarding their health and well-being early on, then we will begin to see a decrease in overall injuries, illnesses, and disease throughout their lifetime. I have a true passion to teach the families in my community about the importance of proper nutrition, regular exercise, and proper alignment of the spine and extremities, so that they may realize the true power and healing potential we’ve all had since birth”.
