Chiropractic called me to it. After graduating from Vassar College with a B.A. in geology I spent 3 years essentially avoiding going to grad. school for a masters degree. One morning lying in bed I let go of the idea of pursuing a career in geology or earth sciences and opened my mind to all possibilities. I realized that what I was naturally good at was healing touch, and what I was interested in was that connection with people’s essence. And so on that morning I decided to become a chiropractor. Keep in mind I had never been to a chiropractor, nor did I have any idea I would have to pick up and move down to Hayward California from my comfortable home in Oregon.
When I first learned about the philosophy of chiropractic I knew why I was called to do this profession. As far as I am concerned I have one of the best jobs in the world. I get to spend my days helping people heal, to reconnect with their full potential, to live better lives.
At Advanced Chiropractic Wellness Center, I practice one of the most advanced methods of chiropractic available. I utilize an approach called Bio-Geometric Integration (BGI) that allows me to view the entire body as one integrated whole, rather than just a collection of parts.
This method allows me to use a number of different techniques and approaches to customize the care to suit the needs of each individual. Just like snowflakes, no two people are the same and no two human bodies act or react the same way to care.
Some of the techniques used are:
-MC2 (adjusting with an instrument, or “clicker”)
-Light force manual adjusting (using hands with very low pressure)
