“My purpose is to provide the highest quality holistic health care to help facilitate the body’s natural ability to heal itself. I am committed to helping people create optimal wellness and awareness in a supportive, harmonious, healing environment that honors each individual’s process.”

Tell us about your work as a chiropractor? I practice holistic chiropractic care and lifestyle education for all ages (new born to seniors) and lifestyles. In 1997 I graduated from UCSD with a degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology with a minor in Psychology. I moved back to LA in 2000 to attend chiropractic school and returned in 2003 and started my practice at the Acacia Health Center in Solana Beach. In 2007 I co-founded the North County Integrative Health Center in Encinitas. In June of 2011 I joined forces with the team at Indigo Dragon Center for Health and Wellbeing.

The focus of my care is to optimize life and healing by creating balance within the spine and nervous system through chiropractic adjustments, basic holistic nutrition/supplementation recommendations, and lifestyle education/empowerment.

Do you have a particular philosophy within your practice? I have aligned myself with the best acupuncturists, bodyworkers, chiropractors, nutritionists, and trainers to best fit the needs of my clients. My philosophy is highly integrative and utilizes multiple natural healing methods to help my clients move towards their health and wellness goals.

Anything else you feel like sharing? Growing up I always had an interest in the human body and a desire to help people, and always knew that I was going to have a career in the “health” field. Once I finally discovered chiropractic, I immediately resonated with the traditional philosophy that the body has an innate power and wisdom to self-heal and self-regulate. This healing power is transmitted and controlled by an optimally functioning nervous system.
