A personal note…
In addition to the extensive training required to become a chiropractor, 28 years of clinical experience, and natural love of animals, my involvement in competitive dance and sport have given me a deep understanding and keen eye for balanced, symmetrical movement and its vital connection to health, well-being and performance. I believe this connection is even more important for animals. I am genuinely thrilled to adapt and transfer my chiropractic knowledge, experience and skilled hands to my animal patients. I am committed to excellence in what I do and the service I provide. I welcome communication and collaboration with other animal health care providers and have built many great professional relationships based on mutual respect and trust. It is very exciting and rewarding to be doing a job that I love.
