Your body is unique

Your body is a complex machine. I have spent the last many years of my life in intense and diligent study of the human body and am still consistently bewildered and delighted by the new things I learn. Your body is also unique. What affects one person is no problem for another. What works for you might not work for someone else. People vary. Conditions vary.

In my practice, the goal is simple: I get to know you and you get to know your body. Together, we can make serious progress.

I focus on what’s important: you

My background is in information technology and design. It’s pretty safe to say I’m a bit of a freak about efficiency and sleek design. Our traditional insurance-based medical system is, shall we say, clunky when it comes to wellness care and adds significant overhead to a small practice.

I prefer to have my accountability and focus rest on what is most important: you. Instead of putting resources toward begging insurance companies to eventually pay me half my rate, I use that energy to create a variety of services designed to get — and keep — you well.

Getting you out of pain now: 1-on-1 appointments

Perfect for more intensive issues: you are experiencing a flare-up of that pesky low back pain, your headaches are raging on a more consistent basis, you suffer from chronic pain in your body that just won’t let up. You need help. Now. I can help you get out of pain, unwind and generally get “un-stuck” with gentle chiropractic adjusting, muscle + connective tissue work, exercise therapy and wellness counseling.

Keeping you well in the future: semi-private, anti-bootcamp sessions

Great if your focus is more on maintaining optimum health and you don’t need a more in-depth appointment. These semi-private sessions (4 to 6 women) are a twist on the traditional chiropractic visit and emphasize exercise therapy and general wellness education with private mini-1-on-1 sessions available in a revolving style after each session.

Things that matter to me

Availability

I’m available. I frequently triage all contacts from patients and respond to everything within 48 hours. You can often get same day or emergency on-location services at wacky hours.

Communication

I communicate. I care a great deal about compassionate communication and practice empathetic listening. You will also find me frequently engaged with social media in an effort to learn more and share information about health and wellness.

Tracking your progress

Careful attention and focus on patterns and nuances in your daily routine and environment are a critical part of the process. Fortunately for you, I am a recovering data geek. I obsessively objectively track your progress over time and analyze the data for trends and changes. I regularly review these findings with you and emphasize journaling, tracking and goal-setting so you can be a better health detective, too.

Playing well with others

My emphasis is not only on curing symptoms but getting your whole body and environment in optimum condition. Sometimes this process works great on its own, and other times it is needed in conjunction with more aggressive medical intervention. I cheerfully cooperate with other health care providers.
