I practiced with my father for 5 years before he retired, and I learned from him what really works to get people well. He started practice in 1959 and had a wealth of experience that I learned from. I incoporated that into the latest techniques that I learned at Life Chiropractic College West, an excellent technical school, to get a very well rounded technical expertise.

After encountering several health issues that lead to weight gain, constant bloating, depression, and infertility, I worked with multiple healthcare professionals to help myself get back on track. After years of ups and downs, I finally decided to take my health in my own hands and entered into a MS program to learn more about nutrition and functional medicine. It allowed me not only solve my health issues that no one could, but also to get pregnant after multiple years of unsuccessful attempts. Your daily nutrition is either a poison or a medicine, and I am excited to help you find an optimal balance between health and food!

I offer an integrated approach to Chiropractic treatment, drawing from my diverse training and experience in several different healing art systems. After a careful and thorough history and examination of your physical body and other forces that come to bear, I assemble an individualized treatment plan for you. The treatment is dynamic, highly participatory and interactive, and is not only geared toward solving the acute problem you've brought in the door, but also to identifying and working with your underlying functional patterns. The work is empowering, and often produces excellent results where previous treatments have failed.

I work with motivated and curious individuals looking to dive deep and investigate the root causes of digestive issues, acne and other skin problems, poor sleep, adrenal/sex/circadian hormone imbalances and blood sugar dysfunction. Healthy, gradual and sustainable improvements are prioritized over quick-fixes. My overarching goal is not only to find the root cause of imbalance, but to optimize your long term health by harboring intuition around nutrition and lifestyle practices so that you feel empowered and in control of your body, health and wellbeing.

The conservative treatment we provide is focused on an active, hands-on, and natural approach to relieving and resolving the underlying problem(s) that cause pain and dysfunction. We often use SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment) during our initial evaluation to find the underlying problem(s). In addition to making specific manual or instrument-assisted chiropractic adjustments to the spine and/or extremities, when necessary, we also utilize soft tissue work (Active Release Techniques - ART), Kinesiology Taping, Laser Therapy, ergonomic training, posture awareness, and relaxing intersegmental traction table therapies.

I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.
