About Me
I grew up in the Seattle area and was inspired to become a chiropractor while working for Dr. Sharon Wagener-DeWolf as a teenager in Redmond. While I observed her practice I soon discovered that I felt very passionate about chiropractic. I decided almost immediately that I wanted the opportunity to help improve people’s quality of life and overall wellness by becoming a chiropractor.
As the years went by, I followed that path until I earned my doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. I now practice in the north end of Seattle where I educate my own patients on healthier living.
My Practice
In my practice, I focus on the correction of spinal misalignments using gentle hands-on adjusting. I have a variety of methods in my training background which I combine specifically for each patient, depending on their individual needs and tolerance.
Northlake Chiropractic is a wellness oriented practice. I concentrate on educating patients about the benefits of a healthy spine and well-functioning nervous system. I enjoy working with people who are interested in taking an active role in their wellness and I make every effort to foster a team approach to healthcare.
I also welcome patients whose main goal is pain relief. Chiropractic works really well in that department and it’s rewarding for both the patient and me to see results, not to mention relief!
I give every patient opportunity to ask questions because I believe well informed people make good health choices. Information on proper postures for activities like sleeping, sitting, and lifting, stretching and strengthening, and nutritional advice may be incorporated into your care, depending on your needs.
My Philosophy
To sum it up in a phrase, health comes from within. The nervous system controls and regulates all bodily functions; therefore a properly functioning nervous system is the foundation for a healthy life. The ultimate goal is a healthy state of homeostatic balance.
In keeping with this philosophy, I provide care which reduces and removes interference to the nervous system with a special focus on helping people understand what occurs in their bodies. I love to assist patients in achieving a level of health that allows them to function optimally and pain-free in all of their chosen activities.
I am committed to the highest quality of care and focus on sharing information with every patient so that they can understand their body and have the ability to make good lifestyle choices regarding their health and wellness.
