Our Story

I am over 50 and suffer from chronic migraines and upper and lower back pain due to disc degeneration. I see Matthew [RN Ayurveda] for Core Synchronism treatments. They significantly help reduce my back pain. After a treatment, I feel as if balance has been restored in my body. Matthew’s touch and his intentions for my healing are gentle and focused yet so powerful. I know his treatments help me from needing additional invasive treatments.

Meeting Dermot has been a pleasure and the program they are offering for Veterans is a great service to the community, 2 free sessions a month. You can’t beat that given how I saw improvements just after 1 session. I was a Marine about 7 years ago and broke my back while training. When I went into my first appointment I told Dermot I was struggling to even get out of bed. I laid in a recliner for two hours surrounded by these high-tech-looking towers with screens all over. I could feel tingles in my body, especially in the spot where my back was really hurting. The next morning I woke up, I wasn’t as stiff as I usually am. I’m feeling more energetic, more relaxed, and not on edge. I think everybody is a little skeptical at first but then you try it and see the results and you can’t deny it. I’m grateful for this opportunity from Eesytem Austin and the support they’ve given me on my healing journey.

I am happy I have had Core Synchronism sessions with Matthew Bowen [RN Ayurveda] almost every month for more than a year. This has definitely improved my overall health. Every session brings me a small, permanent health improvement. The improvements are cumulative. It makes more sense to me to do my best to keep good health than to struggle later on to regain good health. Having Core Synchronism sessions with Matthew Bowen has improved my life. 

I have been to 2 other EESystem centers and this one by far, has been the most welcoming and supportive. The owners, Denise, Dermot, & Cynthia, make an effort to connect personally and support your healing journey. As for my sessions in the EE System, I have seen excellent results in response to my setting a clear intention with prayer. My prior sessions have yielded the disappearance of hand pain due to mild arthritis and the discontinuation of my nightly grinding of my teeth. The benefits I have experienced from my sessions include deep restorative sleep, greater ease in meditation, increased intuition, greater feelings of well-being and peace, and more patience in dealing with the day-to-day challenges of life. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking healing of their mind, body, and spirit.

The facility itself is beautiful on the inside and outside – radiating with positive and healing energy. Dr. Schade listens to her patients, truly cares, and is incredible in what she does. It is reflected wholly throughout the practice, including her staff. They are the perfect model of what a healthcare practice should be.

I’ve been to maybe 10-12 different chiropractors over the years with negligible results and had basically given up on the profession. Earlier this year I began to experience numbness radiating down my shoulder and arm so I went back to the MD. He told me my vertebrae were beginning to fuse around my implants and there were no further treatment options available. A good friend referred me to Dr Cynthia at Active Life and I couldn’t be happier!

I love the caring, nurturing environment created by Dr. Cynthia Schade and her staff at Active Life Chiropractic Clinic and Tree of Life Urban Retreat and Healing Center. Their focus is on holistic healing, combining ancient practices and innovative technology to promote mind, body and spirit wellness. It makes sense that addressing how our bodies, hearts and minds work together improves our ability to function physically, emotionally and mentally.

Dr. Schade did a thorough intake and was the first doctor I met who really took everything I was dealing with seriously, and actively wanted to address many health concerns that I had been dealing with for years, far beyond the back pain. My treatment plan tackles core issues from different angles, including biomagnetism, red light therapy, emotion body code, and homeopathic supplements. The work we have done has been so effective that I am a renewed person. My severe back pain is gone, I feel more energized, and overall I feel much healthier. I even pulled my partner in to give treatment there a shot, and he quickly became a fan himself.

Active Life Chiropractic Clinic at Stassney Lane is hands down the BEST Chiropractor clinic in Austin! They have an incredible staff, from their knowledge to their kindness! They also offer so many different kinds of therapies for all sorts of injuries! They also have full body holistic healing! It’s the one place I feel is a complete one stop shop for wellness! 10/10 I highly recommend!

Love Dr. Schade and the “clean, well-lighted place” she’s set up here. Tree of Life is a commodious, green little oasis behind a wood fence right off Stassney. The clinic appears to be in a little converted house, full of little devices and tools and furniture for orthopedic health. Strongly recommend this clinic

After my first biomagnetism session with Dr Schade, I have not had this much relief since 2020 maybe even before Covid! I had immediate brain fog and bone pain relief. I actually had strong legs under me when I woke and migraines gone so far! Also the little stabbing behind the pineal – gone! My system feels so clean enlightened just everything!!!! The brain stem omg it’s been 4 yrs it’s driven me insane! Just relief with every magnet! No pain and, for once, no meds today! I cannot wait until our next session!!!!! Let’s keep going! Oh, and I laughed and laughed all day!

We entered into this a bit skeptical and were pleasantly surprised by the visible results in the elimination of swelling in my husband’s feet and ankles. He has Parkinsons’ and his ankle and feet have been swollen for more than two years, so this was exciting for us to see. It seems to take at least a three-hour session. We saw results with his first 3-hour session. We tried a soak with the salt bath during the fifteen days to see if it was a result of the soaking, but alas, it’s definitely the scalar energy. Makes us wonder what other work is going on that we’re not seeing yet. Exciting technology, not to mention the wonderful people at the center, Denise and Dermot. You will love their energy too.
