Groove Chiropractic is located in the Arnada neighborhood of downtown Vancouver, WA. The focus on personalized, compassionate, science- and evidence-guided chiropractic care; dance, yoga, and sports medicine; and perinatal health sets it apart in the community. I started Groove after practicing for 9 years in a multidisciplinary practice in Portland, Oregon.
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.
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.
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:
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.

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:

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.

I also commonly coordinate care with PTs and other providersbecause 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. For example, low back pain, pelvic pressure, sciatica, and postural changes can all impact daily life and birth outcomes.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy isn’t only about relief, rather it’s also 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. This is a gentle, 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:

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.
Groove Chiropractic: A Space for Whole-Body Healing
My goal at Groove Chiropractic isn’t just to get you out of pain. Additionally, it's to help you return to the activities that give your life rhythm, power, and joy. My sessions are longer than most (30-60 minutes). I take time for hands-on treatment, functional movement support, and meaningful conversation about your goals and concerns.
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.
