I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2007 after earning my undergraduate degree in biochemistry and mathematics from the University of Iowa in 2004. During nearly two decades in practice, I have continued to expand my knowledge through advanced training in pediatric and pregnancy care, rehabilitation, acupuncture, dry needling, extremity care, and soft-tissue techniques. I have been certified in acupuncture for more than seven years and frequently incorporate it into individualized treatment plans alongside chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, cupping, dry needling, and soft-tissue therapy. Every patient and every condition is different, so my goal is to offer a wide range of treatment options and find the combination that works best for each person. I have also completed three years of postgraduate training in extremity care, allowing me to more effectively evaluate and treat conditions involving the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet—not only the spine. As a pediatric-certified chiropractor, I have extensive experience caring for children as well as expectant and postpartum mothers. I understand that patients of different ages and stages of life require different approaches, and I tailor every treatment to the individual’s needs, comfort, and goals. Rehabilitation is another important part of my practice. Although chiropractic adjustments can be extremely beneficial, some conditions also require strengthening, mobility work, and soft-tissue rehabilitation. I regularly help patients recover from whiplash, rotator cuff problems, knee injuries, back injuries, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal conditions. I am proud to practice in Kalaheo and serve patients and families from communities throughout Kauai, including Kapaa, Lihue, Koloa, Poipu, Lawai, Kalaheo, Hanapepe, Kekaha, Port Allen, Ele‘ele, Waimea, Wailua, Kealia, Anahola, Kilauea, Princeville, Hanalei, and the surrounding areas. I look forward to meeting you, learning about your health goals, and showing you the personalized, comprehensive care that our clinic can provide for you and your family.
