Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use gentle, non-forceful techniques to correct spinal misalignments and relieve nervous system interference. By restoring proper communication between the brain and body, these adjustments reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall health. Clients experience lasting benefits through personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs.
Pediatric Care
Pediatric chiropractic care addresses developmental challenges and birth-related stress in infants and children. Using craniosacral therapy and light-touch adjustments, we help alleviate issues like colic, sleep disturbances, and feeding difficulties. Our approach supports healthy growth while teaching children early awareness of their physical and emotional well-being.
Prenatal Care
Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on pelvic balance and spinal alignment to ease pregnancy discomforts and prepare for labor. The Webster Technique reduces intrauterine constraint, promoting optimal fetal positioning. Clients benefit from specialized pillows for comfortable face-down positioning during adjustments, ensuring safety and ease throughout pregnancy.
BGI Technique
Biogeometric Integration (BGI) combines structural adjustments with breath work and soft tissue therapy to release physical and emotional tension. This multidimensional approach addresses complex stress patterns, helping clients achieve deeper states of relaxation and improved nervous system function through intuitive, client-centered care.
Wellness Programs
Our wellness programs integrate chiropractic care with lifestyle recommendations to support long-term health. Clients receive personalized guidance on exercises, posture, and stress management techniques that complement adjustments. These programs emphasize preventive care and education to empower individuals in maintaining optimal well-being beyond clinic visits.

Kenda is the best! I recommend her to anyone pregnant. Went to see her about 6-8 times Brigitte each of my sons were born. They are fully set up and ready to greet the pregnant people. Parking is easy, welcoming office, like that you take off your shoes before entering space. Love the cloth/ washable / reusable face clothes. Eco friendly bathroom set up. Lots of nice art touches throughout the space.

I have been seeing Armene on an almost weekly basis for at least the past six years. She is absolutely the most nurturing and empathetic person I know. And she is an outstanding chiropractor! I started seeing Armene during my second pregnancy and she helped me through the challenges of having a stubborn breech baby. She has these amazing pillows that allow you to be on your stomach during your pregnancy. (If you have been pregnant, you totally understand what a treat this is!) After my delivery, Armene adjusted my newborn, who was having some difficulty with latching. I also have some other chronic

Great pre-natal chiropractic. Gave me back the ability to walk, as the relaxin in my body really took a toll on my lower back. Highly recommend. They really are miracle workers.

Armene is fantastic! I saw her throughout the second and third trimesters of my pregnancy and it was a gamechanger. She helped my body deal better with general aches and pains along with preparing for labor. She's a knowledgeable, kind, and patient healer who I highly recommend. Additionally, her space is incredibly parent-friendly and it's wonderful to see babies and children genuinely welcome at this office.

Armene is kind, warm, and awesome. She's probably the best chiropractor I've seen--I have an old injury, a slipped disk, and it flares up every once in a while. When I first saw her, I couldn't stand straight and was in a lot of pain. After one visit, I felt so much relief and could actually stand straight! I now see her for maintenance and for help with my migraines. I also love the vibe of their practice: communal, earthy and earth-conscious, and unpretentious. So happy my acupuncturist referred them to me!

Armere is incredible! I was referred to her by a very insightful friend and am forever thankful. I have had various back problems most of my adult life, and Armene has been able to help me feel better and function as one should. She has the most wonderful and kind approach, really feeling for what is happening with your whole body before addressing the "problem" area. I love how she directs me to breathe, which sometimes I forget to. Thank you Armene for always making me feel better!

Kenda was amazing in every way and Alena was SO accommodating to my scheduling complications. My son (8 months) and I both got adjusted and left there very happy and relaxed. From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of. Kenda helped me bring my stroller and son up the stairs and greeted my toddler so warmly. Her presence was calming and welcoming. She followed my son as he crawled around and she did the adjustment without him even knowing. Thank you Awaken, we will return soon!
