Dr. Debra brings a unique blend of being kind, resourceful, and inclusive. She/they helps people deepen their mind-body connection through Craniosacral therapy, Organ Massage, Biogeometric Integration, and Chiropractic bodywork. Her/their background includes a doctorate from Life Chiropractic College West with clinical honors, a teaching credential from Cal State East Bay, and a B.S. in Conservation from UC Berkeley. Most importantly, what truly has you in good hands is that Dr. Debra always begins and ends each session by returning your body to a state of safety and presence.

​

Long-lasting results occur when the body and mind are witnessed in their trauma. From this place of respectful listening, Dr. Debra acts as a guide on the side, helping you grow and evolve into new, resilient ways of being in the world. Areas of focus include hydraulic forces of the brain, joint biomechanics, muscle strains, somatic emotional holding patterns, and organ immobilization. Daily activities and sudden events can traumatize these areas, with neurological feedback loops holding the tension in place. Most of these feedback loops never reach the conscious section of the brain, making it difficult to release on one's own.

​

Overall, this systems-based approach makes your sessions remarkably effective. Previous patients have found support with headaches, shoulder pains, menstrual cramps, back pain, neck pain, and emotional capacity.

Before pursuing chiropractic, Debra embarked on two unique paths as a Title I teacher and a botanical surveyor. This helped them be heart-centered while being determined to find holistic solutions to problems. Don’t be shy to strike up a conversation about plants, hiking trails, or music the next time you’re in the office!
