I am a chiropractor with a unique and creative approach to patient care, combining traditional chiropractic adjustments with advanced manual therapy and customized movement training. My practice is centered on healing and rehabilitation of acute and chronic joint issues, co-managing post-surgical orthopedic cases, and teaching patients foundational exercises for long-term whole-body health. 

​

My treatment sessions are highly personalized, based on continuous assessment and aimed at utilizing the most effective strategies for each individual's needs. My toolbox is ever-expanding, including precise chiropractic adjustments and enriched by continuous learning in manual therapy techniques. I hold certifications as a Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist (FRCms), Functional Range Assessment Specialist (FRA), Functional Release Spine and Upper Limb Provider (FR Spine & FR Upper Limb), and a Level 1 Foundation Training Instructor.

 

When not in the studio, I can be found cycling, camping with my family in our teardrop trailer, and engaging with the vibrant active community in Napa Valley.

I love helping people access a creative relationship with the current material of their life.  Through the creative means of somatic movement, writing, and image making we can land on new insights about where we are, where we want to go, and the resources we want to engage with.  We can also move from a pathologizing view of our place in life, to a meaning-making one. 

 

My influences include a B.A. in Dance, decades as a chiropractor focused on nervous system health, training with Tamalpa Institute in the Tamalpa Life/Art Process, Deb Dana’s Foundations of Polyvagal Theory, and directly mentoring with polyvagal informed dance movement therapist Amber Gray.  When I’m not engaged in crafting creative ways to dance with life- I’m focused on deeply relating to my awesome son, resting & resourcing myself, and engaging in generative friendships that tend to involve hiking trails and the natural world.
