I grew up in New Hampshire where I attended the University of New Hampshire and earned a degree in Environmental Conservation. After several years of working as an environmental researcher I switched gears and pursued the trades, following a passion to work and create with my hands. Although I had occasionally seen chiropractors growing up, it wasn’t until the fallout of a failed spine surgery that I was set on a path to figure out how to actually heal. It was through this determination to regain my health and well-being without further surgery that I truly forged a connection with chiropractic.

 

I attended Life Chiropractic College West in California where I graduated with honors and clinical honors as a Doctor of Chiropractic. During my time in school I studied BGI, Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson Drop Table, SOT, Cranio-sacral, and upper-cervical as I hold a belief in having the right tool for the job. In my studies I was introduced to the philosophy of chiropractic which understands that within each of us is an innate inner wisdom or intelligence that allows us to naturally heal so long as the body and our life are in a position to heal. This deeply resonated with my own experiences of chiropractic and drove me to take a deep dive into studying the body as an interconnected system, not just a sum of its parts. These thoughts and ideas have become a way to live my life and are with me whether I’m in the office or out in the mountains.
