Sunflower Wellness Center

With a New Patient/ Client, I typical spend 60 or 90min, depending on what I determine is the priority for their needs. I like to take time with my clients, and let them ask me questions, and also begin to teach them more about how they can feel empowered with whatever stage they are in the health and wellness process. Most importantly, I want my clients to feel heard and validated.

I love working with people, and the idea of restoring health, for any age group. For the longest time, I thought I would become a researcher and eventually a medical doctor. It took me post-undergraduate college and working my way in a medical school setting as a researcher, that I discovered that it wasn't a good fit for me. I preferred putting my hands where the issues where, and having an impact on a person's function and quality of life, facilitating a person from a point of disconnection to reconnection with their body's intelligent ability to heal itself. I knew I could not do this through drugs or surgery. I completed a 1000 hr dietetic internship, thinking that nutritional consulting was a good path, but it wasn't until I found Chiropractic wellness approach, that I Knew I had come Home. The Salutogenic model of Chiropractic was truly something that resonated deep within me. Salutogenesis literally means the Birth of Wellness. This approach is about recognizing the body's own ability to powerfully adapt and restore it's own function, so long as the interference is removed. As chiropractors, we are experts in examining, diagnosing and then utilizing specific techniques to remove that interference, and aid restoring function.

Connecting to my clients though this type of restoration is a privilege and a truly humbling experience. It's exciting for me to see a person who may have become indifferent to their environment, or may have diminished hope in their well-being, literally come alive again through the power of their own body's connection to that healing.
