dr. carol´s story

I came to this field as a result of several situations and events in my life. As a sickly child, I was very limited in what I could do, and felt that I missed out on way too many things. As an adult, having struggled with my limitations, I became a professional in theatre and dance. As a performer, I worked with movement, music and expression and came to understand that people have many dimensions, all of which affect the others. Our bodies, minds and spirits work together.

Inevitably, I experienced injuries that had the potential to significantly limit my professional performances. I sought traditional medical help and found that the information and ways of doing things they offered simply did not work with what I knew about my own body. In my search for more effective methods of healing, I found a number of approaches that made much more sense for me, including nutrition, bodywork, massage, acupuncture and chiropractic. Having successfully developed and improved my own situation, I came to see that others could benefit as well from these approaches.

As a health care student, I had the advantage of understanding both the truth of my own experience and a working knowledge of the various human dimensions and their interrelationships.

As I pursued my professional education, I studied a variety of ways of approaching health, including traditional chiropractic, nutrition, homeopathy, craniosacral, acupressure and acupuncture, and massage. My dream was to create an office where I provided this interdisciplinary group of services for my patients.

In addition to discovering that I could help people become healthier by using a variety of approaches, I discovered that a critical part of any healing is the patient´s desire and goal to achieve health. While this may seem simple and obvious, it is an often overlooked and terribly important part of a person´s health. Sometimes people have been sick for so long, they feel as if they have been disconnected from their own life force. Others have encountered obstacles and are not sure what to do about them. Regardless, an important part of why I am a health care professional and why I offer the range of services I do is because I believe that people can rediscover or reconnect with their own innate energy and vitality. And, having a goal to become healthy is a critical part of the mission of our office.

At our office we are happy to provide single treatments for patients, however the vast majority of my patients and I develop an ongoing relationship, reflecting their commitment to a process of becoming healthy. Working at a deeper level, these patients develop their abilities to achieve and maintain their health, even in the face of health challenges from the environment and their situations. Over time, the goal of our office is to assist people in reclaiming their natural health and vitality.
