Philosophy

I am committed to empowering patients with knowledge and practical tools to help them unlock their full potential and find meaning from their experiences. I have a special interest in injury care and the management of acute and chronic pain utilizing hands-on treatments including spinal, cranial, and visceral manipulation.
