Vibrant Health Family Chiropractic

trust your intuition. this is a conversation i've had multiple times this week & it may seem like it has absolutely nothing to do with chiropractic and healing, but it has everything to do with it. your gut instinct is associated with the vagus nerve - a nerve that exits the brain and wanders throughout the body, including into the gut. it's literally why the gut is called the second brain, why we experience that visceral feeling associated with our instincts & ul...timately, our intuition. unfortunately, our culture has programmed us to ignore these gut instincts because it's deemed "woo-woo," spiritual, or unscientific. so, we have learned to ignore our body's signals until it starts to scream for our attention - anxiety, hormonal dysfunction, panic, digestive issues, depression, pain. here's the thing- as we continue to ignore these signals, we no longer trust them. what's the repercussion of not trusting those signals? we become disconnected from them -- our feelings, our sensations, and our bodies. & that's how sickness is born. there is hope, though. we can reconnect to our intuition, but it requires us to re-establish the connection between mind and body with practices like mindfulness and meditation & movement and bodywork (chiropractic, massage, reiki, etc). with all that in mind, i just wanted to remind you: trust your body's inner wisdom. trust your intuition. trust your gut. t r u s t See more

Reminder: You are powerful, your body is capable of far more than anyone has led you to believe, and healing is NOT outside of yourself or out of your control like the media likes to portray. I think we can all agree that things are kinda nutso right now. Patients are asking me what I think, sharing crazy toilet paper stories, and talking about the news. Where you get your information from matters. It will greatly shape the lense in which you view the situation a...nd completely alter your approach and ultimately, your results. Unfortunately, the media doesn't always state objective fact, which contributes to unnecessary panic and bad advice ... like, drinking water or taking Vitamin C won't help. Lol. By all means, drink water, take your vitamins, marinate your body in essential oils, get adjusted, and think good thoughts. Every bit helps! Take back your power by being proactive. We have a day-to-day responsibility to nurture our bodies so that it nurtures us back! Think about it this way- Do you trust the wisdom of your body, the healing properties of nature, and yourself to make proactive health choices? OR Do you believe your body is unhealthy because of medication deficiency, that your body is inherently broken, and that you are a victim to your health? The choice is yours, friends. Ultimately, it's up to you to advocate for yourself, do your own research, and practice discernment with the information you consume... including what I have to say. See more

Laughter is the best medicine & with me as your chiropractor, you'll be laughing A L O T because I crack lame jokes, have the strangest conversations with kids, and try my best to spread more love and joy. Sometimes the adjustments even make people giggle, laugh uncontrollably, and snort. ... So, there's a lot of laughter happening at Vibrant ... in between all the hard moments that is the reality of life -- managing stress, raising children, juggling schedules, and doing the work to heal. Friends, make time for the things that bring you joy and make you laugh -- go dancing, have dessert first, play at the park, schedule time with your bestie, and get adjusted. Wishing you lots of laughter and tons of joy this beautiful Monday! See more

so honored to check & adjust this sweet little one after caring for his mama her entire pregnancy! at just F I V E days old, this little guy received his first adjustment to start his life fully connected & expressing vibrant health! welcome to the world, baby hudson!

a shift is happening. the first thing i say to new patients when they sit down across from me is, "tell me what's going on. how can i support you?" the responses normally are all over the place, but recently, they've all been the same. ... people are tired of their old ways and wanting to embark on a new and holistic way of living, healing, and thriving. gone are the days of going to the doctor's office only to be brushed off after 5 minutes and sent home with a prescription that doesn't solve the problem. gone are the days of waiting for insurance companies to dictate what you can and can't do. gone are the days of looking to mainstream science which doesn't address the whole, integrated person. the importance of health has never been more apparent than before. even more so, a proactive approach that doesn't wait for dysfunction, disorder, and disease to occur before prioritizing our well-being. it shouldn't take a "pandemic" to occur to finally wake us up into taking care of ourselves, but it's been the necessary wake-up call for many. most are realizing that their old way of living was toxic and got them to their current stressed, anxious, and dysfunctional states. and i'm hearing from you all that you're fucking tired of it. i get it & i'm here for you as your trusted guide to help you as you embark on this new way of living. to provide you with holistic resources, to remind you that your body is powerful beyond measure, to give you a hug, to remind you to breathe, to hold space for your stories, to realign and reconnect you back to your inborn potential. if you're anything like the people who i've recently met, i know that you're willing to finally make changes to your lifestyle, eager to get started, and ready to take back control over your health. after all, the greatest revolution is being healthy. "in health, there is freedom. health is the first of all liberties." See more

Why I am a Doctor of Chiropractic Because I honor the inborn potential of everyone to be truly healthy. Because I desire to help the new born, the aged, and those with out hope. Because I choose to care for the patient with the disease, not the disease. Because I wish to assist rather than intrude; to free rather than control. Because I seek to correct the cause, and not it’s effect. Because I know that doctors do not heal, only the body can heal itself. Because I have... been called to serve others. Because I want to make a difference. Because everyday I get to witness miracles. Because I know it’s right. ~ William Esteb As a chiropractor, THIS serves as my guiding principle. It is the lense in which I view everything through and because of that it, it gives me faith in the potential that resides within us all. I'll say that again- W I T H I N. I'll be screaming this on rooftops until the day I die, just to remind you- You are born with everything need already WITHIN you. Your body is capable of FAR MORE than anyone (read: mainstream media) has ever led you to believe. Healing is NOT outside of you or out of your control. As chiropractors, we work directly with the nervous system -- the system that holds the key to the body being able to heal itself. Yes, we place our hands on you to help facilitate the healing process, but make no mistake, it's your body that's doing the work to adapt, reintegrate, and relearn how to express itself. Being partners on the healing journey and witnessing miracles- big and small- is truly my greatest honor & why I am a chiropractor See more

best. job. everrrrrr. you know that whole "find a job you enjoy doing and you will never have to work a day in your life" cliche? yep, it's so dang true. ... so grateful that the office has been my happy place since day one, that i get to do what i absolutely love every single day, and serve in the best way i know how-- with my and working with little cutie pies all day long doesn't hurt either See more

let's talk about the 'f' word - f e a r the other day, an amazing mama said, "we're not giving into the fear. that's why we're still here" & it struck me deeply. not only did i feel incredibly honored that she continues to entrust me with the health of her family despite these times, but i respected the hell out of that perspective because it's not a common one.... what people don't realize is this- fear is a virus too & it's more rampant than ever before. fear triggers our fight or flight stress response- the same response that kicks in when we're cut off on the freeway, alarmed by a sound in the middle of the night, or running away from a wild animal. it's a normal and appropriate response to keep us safe and alive. however, when sustained for a prolonged period of time, we get stuck in fight or flight stress mode. this excessive stress suppresses our immunity, increases inflammation, and prevents our ability to rest & detoxify properly. not only that, but the fear permeates into our minds and interferes with our ability to think logically, keeps us vigilant and on high alert, and further activates our stress response. & that vicious cycle is how we become susceptible to sickness. enter chiropractic. by aligning the spine, the vital connection between brain and body is restored allowing the nervous system to operate at its full potential, increase our ability to adapt to stress, and ultimately, facilitate the expression of health. THAT is why chiropractic is powerful & why so many patients choose to continue prioritizing their care because even amidst the fear and stress -- it is essential to their well being. See more

I just wanted to take a moment & express gratitude This week has made me realize, more than ever, how grateful I am for my Vibrant community. Despite all that is going on, you guys are showing up and continuing to prioritize your health. As your chiro, I feel so honored & proud of you all. By continuing to show up, you are also supporting me and my small business, which means the absolute world to me. Like, you have no idea. ... If you haven't been already, please go support small businesses in your community. Some of my favorite places have been forced to close or decided to close because not enough people are coming in & that absolutely breaks my fucking heart. So, I do have a favor to ask- If you are able, please go to your local health food store, restaurant, coffee shop, juicery, salon, etc. Target will survive. Starbucks will survive. Chipotle will survive. Please support local because they are the ones who won't Again, I can not even begin to express my gratitude for my Vibrant community. I've been saying this to everyone this week, but thank you for prioritizing your health and supporting me. I love you all & as always, I'm here for you. See more
