Our Commitment to
Whole-Person Healing
At Twin Sun Healthcare, we believe lasting recovery starts with understanding the whole person — not just the pain point or the diagnosis.
Our team brings together physical therapy, regenerative medicine, and consciousness work because the body, mind, and life are connected. We don't manage symptoms and send you home. We work with you to understand what's driving them — and build the conditions for real, lasting change.
How We Began
For years, I ran Bridgewrights, a clinic dedicated to helping people build bridges into healthier versions of themselves through physical therapy and advanced rehabilitative care. It was meaningful work. But some bridges are meant to carry you somewhere entirely new.
The real turning point came deep in the Amazon jungle, working with an elder Shaman. During a powerful ceremony with a plant medicine he called the flying stick, I experienced a vision of shedding layer after layer of identity — including the identity of being a physical therapist. The most vivid image was hundreds of snakes crawling over me, ones I welcomed willingly, watching them merge into a single emerald green snake. I understood it as a transmission: the ancient wisdom of shedding old skins, of turning life’s venom into medicine. Suffering into gift. Base metal into gold. This became the invisible foundation of everything I would go on to build.
When I left the jungle, the Shaman pressed a medallion into my hands engraved with the twelve zodiac constellations. I didn’t understand it then. But shortly after returning home, a master astrologer entered my life — and suddenly the medallion made sense. She became my mentor, and through years of deep study I began reading the code of the cosmos, discovering how profoundly the patterns above mirror the patterns within us. That process deepened the transformation the jungle had started — more shadows faced, more identities shed, more old skin left behind.
The 2024 solar eclipse did not begin this journey. It simply pressed the change button on what had been building for years. Bridgewrights completed its purpose, and from those ashes Twin Sun Healthcare was born — a living ecosystem of healing where regenerative medicine, shamanic wisdom, astrology, coaching, and integrative bodywork exist under one roof. Every modality here was chosen because transformation is not just something I guide others through. It is something I know from the inside out.
Our Team
Dr Tolga Yenilmez, PT, DPT
Founder
Dr. Tolga Yenilmez received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Boston University after graduating from Istanbul University's Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in 1996. He is licensed in IL, NY, WI, OR, United Kingdom and Turkey and has over 25 years of experience working in a broad range of settings and internationally with orthopedic and neurological injuries. His passion about the psychology of injury led him to seek additional training and he received a certificate in psychotherapy from California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco with an emphasis on transpersonal psychology and a certificate in IFS Therapy (Internal Family Systems). In addition to standard physical therapy procedures, Tolga is trained in Functional Manual Therapy™ courses through Institute of Physical Art and his treatments involve a hands-on approach to uncover the root cause of symptoms, restore optimum function and resolve pain patterns. He practices a Functional Medicine based holistic approach to disease with an emphasis on mind-body-spirit connections and currently splits his time between Chicago and the West Coast. “Recovering from injury starts with an awareness of movement patterns that lead to the injury and the mind set that accompanies it. I treat mechanical restrictions of soft tissue and joints via manual therapies, while helping reprogram the nervous system around the injury. I teach the body-mind to actively produce more efficient movement patterns to prevent further injuries as well as resolve current dysfunctions“. Dr. Tolga is also a practitioner and facilitator of Tensegrity™, a modernized version of movements and meditations passed on through seers of ancient Mexico to promote awareness and well being, and facilitates classes in Midwest and West Coast. He is also the coauthor of the book "TORA: Opening the Secrets of Tarot" which teaches methods of meaning making through visual information.

Erich Heintzen, LSCW
Growing up, I was always the one that my friends opened up to about their problems with family, social struggles, or general stress. Eventually, I realized the way I was connecting with them was something that I enjoyed, and was possibly a gift. As I began to ponder a career, I knew I wanted to do something that helped people. I thought about being a teacher, or a nurse, but eventually decided on psychology and becoming a therapist. I knew that it would take more than me just being a patient listener, offering a safe space and good advice. As I began my advanced degrees, I gained the knowledge and skill I would need to be able to work with the various populations throughout my career such as children, families, young adults, LGTBQIA+ folks, couples, groups and individuals. Throughout the last 27 years, I’ve honed my skills in psychodynamic work, with focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and becoming a Level 1 Internal Family Systems practitioner. I was fortunate to join a group practice where I practiced for 15 years. Even though I became a supervisor, trainer, program coordinator, and eventually Clinical Director, my main love has always been the face-to-face clinical work with clients. So in 2018, I set out to create Summit Psychotherapy, where I could focus on creating a healing space to do just that. I’m grateful for the experience of working with clients both short-term and long-term as they strive towards their growth and reaching potentials. I welcome you to join the journey with me if you are looking to get started
