A doctor who teaches you to heal yourself.
Creator of the Amari Method. 25 years of clinical practice. San Francisco + virtual.
I saw that every traditional approach kept the patient passive. Someone else was always in charge. So I built a method that puts the work back in your hands.
He watches how your body responds.
Dr. Garrett guides you through protocols using simple props while he watches how your body responds. He's not doing the work for you. He's showing you where your body is out of balance and how to correct it yourself.
After 25 years, he can see things in how you move that nobody else has caught. Every approach he trained in, from adjustments to massage to medication, kept the patient passive. But only your body can actually heal you. So he built a method that teaches you how.
Two-and-a-half decades working with bodies in pain, across every age and every kind of life.
A complete method: eight core rebalancing protocols you learn in session and take home with you.
Nearly every client leaves the first session feeling a difference. Many say it's the first thing that's actually worked.
If you don't feel noticeable relief after your first session, we keep working with you until you do, at no additional charge.
Named for a boy whose story changed everything.
Dr. Garrett Hewstan knows firsthand the power of natural healing. As a child, he spent countless nights in hospital oxygen tents, struggling to breathe through severe asthma. Everything changed when his mother took him to a practitioner who helped him get off medication and gave him the freedom to thrive. That experience set him on the path to studying the body professionally.
Years later, during his final year of training, Garrett had an experience that would shape his life's mission. A clinic patient named Phyllis shared heartbreaking news: her 11-year-old grandson, Amari, had just passed away from complications of asthma.
The story struck Garrett deeply. Amari was the same age he had been when natural care saved his life. Garrett couldn't help but wonder: What if I could have helped him?
In that moment, Garrett made a promise, to Amari, to his younger self, and to every person struggling with chronic pain, that he would dedicate his life to making natural healing accessible, effective, and empowering.
Every person who finds freedom through this method carries his name forward.
Every person who finds freedom through the Amari Method carries forward the spirit of that promise, and honors the boy whose name reminds us why this work matters.
The Amari Method exists because of one child's story, and it continues to transform lives in his honor.
What makes the method different.
Four things that set the Amari Method apart from every other approach Dr. Garrett trained in over 25 years. Each one is a deliberate inversion of how most care is delivered.
You learn the method, not a prescription.
Most clients feel relief in their first session. But the goal isn't just relief. It's skill. You leave knowing how to rebalance your own body.
Simple props, guided by 25 years of clinical experience.
Yoga blocks, foam rollers, gymnastic rings. Dr. Garrett sees what you can't and guides you through it.
No drugs, no surgery, no dependency.
You don't come back forever. The home practice is about five minutes a day on your living room floor.
If you don't feel a difference, we keep working.
If you don't experience noticeable relief after your first session, we keep working with you until you do, at no additional charge.
Fifteen years of cameras wrecked my neck. PT helped for a week then it came right back. What actually made the difference was understanding WHY, muscles that had stopped firing. Once that clicked, things changed fast. It's been over a year.
