My lifetime interest in the biology, medicine, natural healing arts, natural food and diet, exercise, and energy medicine, and my tendency to be a 'professional student' brought and continues to bring experiences, classes, and books my way. Fortunately for me, one special book, way back when, was by a chiropractor. I had injured my low back from heavy lifting, and because of that book, it just made sense to me to seek help from a chiropractor. Like many others patients who have first experiences with chiropractic, I went for pain relief first, and then I grew to understand the profound effects chiropractic care can have on total health, prevention, and wellness. Of course, my low back was helped, but I was also inspired to become a chiropractor.

Over the years, I have treated patients of all shapes and sizes, from very young to very old, all kinds of professions, weekend warriors to the elite in their sport. Each individuals with individual needs and stresses to address and support.

The athlete, be it the junior high tennis player, or golf pro, or soccer or football player, gym enthusiast, ultra-runner, competitive bicyclist, weekend warrior... you name the sports... each have unique mechanisms of performance and need for care designed to maintain optimum function and enhance performance... as well as need to treat the unfortunate injuries that can occur in their personal pursuit of excellence.  As for me, exercise has always been a part of my life: an avid bicyclist from youth into adulthood, weight training, dance, gymnastics, golf, horseback riding, hiking, yoga, kayaking, swimming, aerobics... I remember joining one of the first Nautilus gyms and have been weight training over three decades now. Some years ago I became a student of Tai Chi, and I highly recommend Tai Chi and Qi Gong as meditative movement and as healing arts.

Health and wellness became personal in another wonderful way in 1990 with the birth of my lovely and amazing daughter. Along with owning and working at Chiropractic Plus, when my daughter was nine, I also took on the role of home-school mom for the next six years until she went off to college. I understand the challenges and labors of love that raising a child brings. I consider women "professional proverbial jugglers" and empathize with the demands and stresses that can impact our health and self-nurturing. In practice, I especially enjoy helping women feel their best!

It has also been a great honor that as an intern before graduation, as well as during my years in private practice, that the care I've provided has inspired some patients to change their career paths to become Doctors of Chiropractic.

Other than the focus I am compelled to give patients, my clinic, and my continuing education, I continue to enjoy theater, dance and music performances, spending time at art galleries and museums, Tai Chi, meditation, reading, gym time and other exercise, outside time (including relaxing on my screened porch and napping in my hammock!), good food, good friends, good conversation, and an unending list of other interests!
