I am a passionate practitioner, parent, partner and business owner… and I see you, because I’m a lot like you.

At the young age of 13 years old, I was sore, anxious and exhausted. My keen interest in health and the human body inspired me to learn how to help myself. This took me on a wonderful journey through multiple certifications, degrees, a doctorate of chiropractic and countless continuing education programs.

During that time, I developed an intricate understanding of the complex relationship between physical, mental, emotional and social factors that contribute to causing pain and other symptoms to become chronic.

Now I focus exclusively on helping people become pain-free like I am now. Being free of chronic pain and symptoms is totally possible.

I have helped hundreds of patients relieve their lasting pain using an evidence-based and holistic approach. This will help you feel empowered, re-energized and not afraid to lean into your life again.
