Nearly 28 years ago, I was preparing to become a Naturopathic Pediatrician, when I suffered a serious set back.
I was helping to move a couch bed. That’s when it happened, the infamous “POP”. I knew I’d done something, but I took 3 aspirin and went on with my day.
The next day it was obvious to me that something more than a sore back was going on. I got in bed and that is where I stayed for the next two weeks. By that time, it had gotten so bad that I could no longer walk on my own.
Finally, I went to the emergency room. After an excruciating and brief exam, and a shot of painkillers into my back, the doctor told me to go back to work in 2 more days.
Another two weeks went by and things had gotten really bad. I needed help with everything, including showering and using the restroom. I’d had enough! It had been 4 weeks since I was able to walk. This was no way for a grown woman to be!
I had a friend carry me in to the Chiropractors office, and lay me on her adjusting table. There, Dr. Kim adjusted me for the first time. Not only did it NOT hurt; it actually felt really good! That day, I walked out of her office on my own. That day, I knew I’d be a Chiropractor.
I knew right away that the basic philosophies of chiropractic (that health and healing are possible and come from within each individual) were exactly what she had been searching for. Chiropractic along with many other healthy lifestyle choices, constantly bring me a truly joy- filled life.
I started my Chiropractic education in 1996. I graduated from Life Chiropractic College West in December of 2001.
I am committed to promoting a healing environment with my unique chiropractic approach…health, vitality and wellness for the entire family!
I have over 12 years post graduate training in Family Wellness care, including extensive training in Perinatal (before, during and after pregnancy) care, Pediatric care (all ages from birth and beyond) and advanced spinal rehab (a complete protocol for ALL spinal related health issues). I have created a system that is powerful and effective, while gentle and safe.
I look forward to assisting you with a game plan to help you achieve YOUR health goals!
