I believe that healing doesn’t just mean recovering—it means thriving in your body, moving with confidence, and feeling supported through every stage of life. Whether you're flowing through yoga poses, training for peak performance, dancing across a stage, or growing a new life, your body deserves care that understands its unique demands.

My practice is rooted in three core specialties: Dance & Yoga Medicine, Sports Chiropractic, and Perinatal Care. While these may seem like distinct populations, they’re united by a shared need for mobility, stability, and a provider who understands the mechanics and demands of each person's activities. My approach is hands-on, movement-informed, and rooted in collaboration—because every body tells a different story, and every story deserves to be heard.

Dance & Yoga Medicine: Supporting Artistry Through Anatomy

As a chiropractor with a foundation of training in and deep appreciation for the movement arts, I specialize in treating dancers and yoga practitioners. These communities experience unique physical demands that go beyond what most general musculoskeletal care addresses. Hyper-mobility, asymmetrical movement patterns, and high repetition of complex motions require an informed approach.

In my work with dancers—from youth recreational to pre-professional to adult professionals—I prioritize:

• Joint stabilization for hypermobile bodies

• Injury prevention strategies customized to specific dance styles

• Spinal alignment and core integration to support control and balance

• Mindful rehabilitation that honors the performer’s timeline and goals

For yogis, chiropractic care can be a powerful complement. I focus on mobility over flexibility, educating practitioners on healthy end-range movement and the importance of muscle activation and joint centration.

Whether you're a teacher training for your 500-hour certification, a weekend Vinyasa enthusiast, or hoping to use yoga as a therapy for existing injuries and symptoms, our sessions together are built around honoring the connection between structure and expression. We’ll use a blend of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and therapeutic exercises and other lifestyle advice to help you move with intention and integrity.

Sports Chiropractic: Optimize Performance, Reduce Risk, Recover Smarter

Athletes ask a lot of their bodies—and when they’re hurt, they often want answers fast. My approach to sports chiropractic goes beyond quick fixes to focus on the root causes of pain and dysfunction, with the goal of restoring efficient movement and reducing risk of re-injury.

At Groove Chiropractic, I work with:

• Runners (including marathoners and trail runners)

• Lifters and functional fitness athletes

• Climbers, swimmers, and cyclists

• Recreational and competitive team sport athletes

Each athlete comes in with a unique training load, injury history, and performance goal. That’s why I perform detailed assessments before creating a collaborative treatment plan. Whether it’s resolving knee pain on the trail, fine-tuning shoulder mechanics for overhead lifts, or navigating post-competition recovery, treatment is always compassionate, evidence-informed, and personalized.

Sessions may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments (spinal and extremity)

• Myofascial and soft tissue release

• Dynamic and static cupping and kinesiology taping

• Rehab exercises to retrain motor control

• Education on training modifications and recovery strategies

I also commonly coordinate care with PTs and other providers—because collaborative care delivers the best outcomes.

Perinatal Chiropractic Care: Gentle, Grounded Support for Pregnancy & Postpartum

Pregnancy is a time of profound physical change, hormonal shifts, and emotional transformation. For many, it’s also a time when discomfort and instability start to show up—low back pain, pelvic pressure, sciatica, and postural changes can all impact daily life and birth outcomes. Chiropractic care during pregnancy isn’t just about relief—it’s about optimizing pelvic balance, supporting nervous system health, and helping the body adapt smoothly to its changes.

My perinatal care services are informed by additional training in Webster Technique, a gentle and specific chiropractic approach that balances the pelvis and soft tissues to support optimal fetal development, labor, and delivery. I also offer care in the fourth trimester—a time when birthing bodies need just as much support and attention as they did during pregnancy.

Common reasons pregnant and postpartum people seek care at Groove Chiropractic:

• Pelvic pain, pubic symphysis dysfunction, or sacroiliac instability

• Low back or rib discomfort as the baby grows

• Breech positioning (to support pelvic balance, not to “turn” the baby)

• Recovery from vaginal or cesarean birth

• Postural strain from feeding, holding, and carrying a baby

• Reconnecting to core and pelvic floor function

I work closely with local midwives, doulas, OBs, pelvic floor PTs, and lactation consultants to ensure you're supported holistically. Your care is always tailored, trauma-informed, and rooted in respect for your choices and your process.

I’ve created a space that reflects the values of inclusivity, safety, and body autonomy. Groove Chiropractic welcomes people of all genders, body types, and lived experiences. Whether you’re in your first trimester or your final performance week, we’ll meet you exactly where you are.
