Reason for this Bicycle Tour

On June 10, 2013 I set out from my brother and sister-in-laws home in Brantford, Ontario on a solo bicycle tour to Florida. Life has seemingly come full circle. This tour is a healing journey... mentally, physically and spiritually.

In 1986, at the age of 24, I had taken a term off my university study and bicycle toured from St. Thomas, Ontario to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The 1986 tour was a significant turning point in my life and included my being severely assaulted by clergy, something that I repressed for over 20 years. Despite the assault I made decision to answer my life's calling to be a healer and educator - a chiropractor.

After over twenty years of repressing the "crisis" event during that tour, writing a memoir was an initial act of growth and healing. In the end, the memoir offers the reader profound insight into the healing journey. The memoir can be found Amazon, International Health Publishing.

Physically, I am recovering from a severe shoulder injury and subsequent disability. The injury led to the sale of my chiropractic practice in Halifax, Nova Scotia in September of 2012.

Thanks for looking in on my journey. Sincerely, Dr. Pat

My Memoir is Published!

After a long healing and writing journey, The Forest Tabernacle has been published.


In 1986, at the age of 24, I took a term off my university study, and embarked on a solo bicycle tour from St. Thomas, Ontario to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A spiritual journey, The Forest Tabernacle documents my struggle with the Roman Catholic religion of my childhood, my relationship with Christ, overcoming sexual violence and answering the call on my life to be a healer and educator. The book is remarkable and inspiring. Thanks for looking in on my journey.

The Forest Tabernacle is available at Amazon, International Health Publishing, or
by contacting me, Dr. Pat Milroy directly.
