About Me

Experience

I work in a multi-disciplinary clinic, overseeing 8 health professionals. I treat the body as a whole by addressing the root cause of people’s problems and addressing them through chiropractic manipulation, soft tissue work, and most importantly connecting with my patients and being fully present. I’m a health coach to my patients and a mentor to my team, with the goal of enabling them to live more fulfilling lives by breaking down their barriers to change and living life with positivity and purpose.
Professional Bio
As an active, athletic teenager, I suffered from low back discomfort that was always diagnosed as the ‘norm’ for sports-related pain. It wasn’t until 1996 when I began to see a Chiropractor that it was discovered that one of the bones in my lower back hadn’t formed properly and was the root of my problems. With treatment, the discomfort began to ease and my stamina & performance in sports began to increase.

I had always been interested in science and the human body, with the goal of pursuing a medical career after completing my Kinesiology undergraduate degree. After my introduction to Chiropractic, however, my focus changed to following a more natural path to health care and healing. I have since gained an even greater respect for the phenomenal healing powers of the human body enabling us to get the most out of life.

I strive to make a positive and life-changing contribution in every patient and community that I serve. I achieve this by providing a level of care that is unparalleled in our industry and designed to ripple through every aspect of a person’s daily life!

I provide sincere and honest care to improve the health and well-being of our patients. I focus on maintaining optimal health naturally, so that the body is able to resist disease, rather than simply treating the symptoms of disease. Here at Apollo, it is believed that our services define whole-body health care. I believe that the human body is much more than the sum of its parts. My philosophy encompasses the entire individual in all of his or her unique complexity, and I work in partnership with our patients to ensure optimal health and wellness. I will serve to educate my patients about the power of the body to regulate and heal itself, to enable patients to live healthier and more fulfilling lives. My ultimate aim is to break down all barriers to change in order to make that growth possible in all of my patients.
