Changing a major profession from being a Registered Nurse to a chiropractor was an immense and great decision for me. It was incredibly challenging to be working in a hospital that had a huge number of patients seen daily.

I had also worked in a surgery room where I have seen severe medical cases and this long ongoing daily scenario prompted me to be an evangelist helping patients in a natural way so in 1992, I decided to enter and study in the field of chiropractic health care. I graduated from Life Chiropractic College West in 1998, and I have been practicing since then.

At this time, I became deeply passionate about my chosen profession and at the same time was enamored of the San Francisco Bay Area, so I opened my first clinic in 2003 at Hayward. Not surprisingly, the clinic achieved instant success as well as a tremendous retinue of patients, admirers and professional interests that inspired me to open my second offices in 2004 in Tracy CA.

"Our goal is to not only alleviate pain, but more importantly, inspire and educate our patients to become active participants in their own well-being. Our approach is non-surgical, whereby we treat the entire person, not just their symptoms. Through this comprehensive and structured approach, we are better able to help our patients achieve optimal levels of health and wellness."
