We develop chiropractors who move with clarity, adjust with presence, and serve with purpose. Chiropractic school gives you the theory. MLS helps you embody it.

You’re learning the science, yet still feeling uncertain. You want to adjust with confidence, but something feels missing. You’re told to trust yourself, but no one has shown you how.

At MLS, we train chiropractors to reconnect with their confidence through discipline, repetition, and deep listening. No hype. Just real mastery built from the inside out.

Mastery. Love. Service.
Not a tagline. A way of being.

We believe chiropractic is a sacred vocation. One that calls each practitioner to walk their own path of mastery as a scientist, an artist, and a philosopher.

We are not here to fix people. We are here to train chiropractors who meet life with steady hands, clear hearts, and skills that speak for themselves. We go beyond teaching technique. We cultivate presence, precision, and purpose.

We develop chiropractors who live the art.

At MLS, you train within a system refined over decades, rooted in biomechanics, vitalistic philosophy, and mastery through presence. You learn to adjust anyone, at any age, for any condition. You build a foundation for lifelong clarity and consistency, guided by instructors who truly see you.

You join a community that sharpens you from the inside out. You leave with more than better hands. You leave with a grounded sense of who you are when you serve.

Honoring Our Lineage.

MLS was developed by Master Chiropractor Arno Burnier, D.C., in 1984. It was born from his own frustration with being adjusted in ways that brought the spine into maximum tension rather than ease. Through years of observation and refinement, he developed an innovative approach to adjusting that brings the neurospinal system into a state of physiological peace before the thrust is applied.

By allowing the spinal cord and meningeal system to float freely within the neural canal, both the spine and the person remain in a state of deep relaxation. From this place, the thrust force can travel through the entire system for full integration. This is what makes the MLS method a tonal approach, one that works with the nervous system rather than against it.

Over the decades, Arno has empowered thousands of Doctors of Chiropractic and chiropractic students to transform their adjusting technique into a true art form. His work has elevated professionalism, integrity, and presence within the chiropractic profession.

MLS has gone on to influence countless chiropractors who now carry this work forward through their own practices, teachings, and seminars. Many openly acknowledge that their foundational skills and philosophy were shaped through their training with Arno and MLS.

You won’t be taught from a stage. You’ll be met on the mat. Our teaching team is made up of chiropractors who live this work on the table, in practice, and within themselves. Each brings a unique voice to the MLS lineage, while sharing a common posture of presence, humility, and deep devotion to the path.

We are teachers. We are students. We are walking this with you.

Wade Port, D.C.

Wade has been taught by some of the most powerful visionaries in the modern era. Arno Burnier, Donald Epstein, Sue Brown, Pasquale Cerasoli, Lou Corleto, Jay Komarek, Suzan Rossi, Jeanne Ohm and many more in and out of the profession.

He has run a successful, principled, cash practice since 2005 and has been on staff with Arno Burnier since 2003.

Though Wade has been teaching Chiropractors for over two decades, you can often find him attending seminars as much as he teaches them.

When he is not in his Atlanta office (Lifeworks Chiropractic, LifeworksATL.com) you can often find him on the side stage taking care of world touring bands and performing artists. He started and, after 7 years, sold his Cafe of Life in Sun Valley, Idaho where he enjoyed the Rocky Mtns and was the personal Chiropractor to Tony Robbins. Once voted Chiropractor of the Year by the Georgia Council of Chiropractic he has spearheaded the fundraising of over $50,000 for the Foundation for Vertebral Subluxation Research.

During school at Life University, Wade and friends lived, ate, breathed Chiropractic and were poured into by some of the greatest humans in the world. He was introduced to Arno Burnier at a ‘Making Love to the Spine’ seminar in early quarters and it was ‘game on’. Arno taught Wade that what he knew in his heart to be true and possible with Chiropractic, he could apply with his two hands. From then on Wade never missed an opportunity to be at a MasterPiece Training camp where Arno would gather teachers, like Sue Brown and many more, from around the world to train in depth.

Wade is a contrarian at heart and has always been up for adventure and taking risks. As he leads MLS Chiropractic training this becomes instantly evident. His outside the box methods have inspired many clients, inside his private practice, and certainly in the training arena for Chiropractors. He has a unique ability to draw out the most authentic gifts from the participants he serves and engage them on the Path of Mastery. Uncover your innate gifts with Wade.

Emily Mayo, D.C.

Emily’s experience with the Chiropractic world began early in life when she started getting adjusted as a baby and many times throughout her childhood. She continued her care while enduring the strain that practicing gymnastics well into her teens put on her body. Emily always knew it was her life’s mission to work with and help people and by the time she turned 18 she knew Chiropractic was the way she was going to touch people’s lives.

After attending undergraduate school at UW Madison, Emily went on to Life University in Atlanta, Georgia. It was there that she quickly found her Chiropractic family with MLS Trainings & Clubs. Throughout her years at Life, she attended many MLS seminars and eventually went on to help facilitate them her last year and a half at school. She also spent her evenings leading the MLS Club, training with her friends at the Advanced MLS Group, and teaching small groups of students.

Teaching has always been one of Emily’s passions as she finds great joy in being able to share the incredible things she has learned from mentors like Arno Burnier. A decade later, with a thriving practice in Pacific Beach, San Diego, she still loves teaching. (Just on a different coast!)
