Business Details
Your Trusted Chiropractor in Minneapolis, MN
With over two decades of experience in patient-centered wellness care and injury rehabilitation, I have dedicated my practice to empowering individuals through co-creative care plans. My approach integrates Somatic Experiencing and Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga, offering embodied, bottom-up methods to address nervous system dysregulation and trauma. I also provide acupuncture to support nervous system regulation and enhance chiropractic outcomes.

A core focus of my work is cultivating interoceptive awareness, enabling patients to better understand and advocate for their health needs. While based in California, I maintain a practice in Minnesota, offering both chiropractic sessions and Somatic Experiencing in Minneapolis. I collaborate with Twin Cities healthcare practitioners to ensure comprehensive care and referrals when needed.
