“I have always been active playing three sports in high school and two sports in college, and learned first-hand the importance of self care aiding in athletic performance. Chiropractic care became integral in my life while competing in strongman competitions, powerlifting, and Highland games allowing me to maintain my desired performance even with rigorous training. It was natural for me to become a DC to bring that same healing to others. While in my medical training, I also earned degrees in naturopathic medicine and acupuncture.  I have seen acupuncture perform amazingly with acute pain, chronic pain, PTSD, vertigo, and more, while naturopathic medicine brings expertise in how everything in our body is connected and plays a role in our good health.”

“Experiencing trauma and ailments is a normal part of being human. There are many ways to approach healthcare. I entered the field of complementary and integrative medicine after seeing the benefits of these modalities firsthand in treating myself and my family. Healing is generally not a linear process, and I always feel honored when someone allows me to walk beside them on a journey toward recovery.

Studying both Eastern and Western medicine has let me see where patterns emerge in different pathological processes, and I like to take an East meets West approach to treatment whenever possible.”
