Sargent Goodchild

Sargent Goodchild, Founder of Active Healing

Sargent's journey from a brain-injured child to the founder of Active Healing is a testament to the power of alternative approaches. Diagnosed with a seizure disorder at a young age, Sargent's potential was overlooked by traditional medical professionals. His parents, driven by love and determination, sought unconventional methods outside the medical community. Their faith and hope led to Sargent's remarkable recovery, freeing him from the debilitating effects of prescription medications.​

 

Today, Sargent's life is a reflection of the program's success. He has excelled academically, achieved athletic accomplishments, and explored various adventures. As the founder and executive director of Active Healing, his mission is to provide every child, especially those facing developmental challenges, with the opportunity to reach their full potential. The stories of other families who have sought his consultation further validate the effectiveness of his approach.

Dr. Courtney Neill is the owner of Foundations Family Chiropractic, specializing in pediatric and prenatal care, as well as postpartum support for new mothers. After graduating from Parker University in 2008, Dr. Neill returned to the North Shore of Massachusetts, where she developed expertise working with brain-injured children at Active Healing and recognized the need for advanced pediatric chiropractic education. She is Pediatric Certified by the Academy of Family Practice and International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association, with additional certification in Pediatric Spinal and Cranial SOT® from Peak Potential Institute, where she now teaches fellow chiropractors nationwide.

A dedicated wife and mother of three, Dr. Neill’s holistic practice reflects her passion for natural birth, breastfeeding, and mindful living. To better support families, she cofounded a multidisciplinary center—the first of its kind on the North Shore—offering services from doulas, IBCLCs, perinatal therapists, and more. Dr. Neill’s greatest joy is helping children and families thrive, while inspiring and educating other chiropractors in advanced pediatric care.
