our approach

Our Approach

Your body is designed to heal. We support this process by calming the stress response and restoring optimal movement for health in three key ways:

restoring spinal mobility

Gentle adjustments improve how the spine and nervous system communicate, reducing tension and inflammation.

decreasing tension in the myofascial system

Soft-tissue release restores flexibility, posture, and the ease of full breathing.

improving craniosacral respiratory rhythm:

Light touch to the fascia around the cranial bones + ligaments of the tailbone help normalize the fluid rhythm around the brain and spinal cord, supporting calm, sleep, feeding, and overall balance.

When these systems move in harmony, your body has more capacity to move, heal, regulate, and thrive.

how does this differ from traditional chiropractic care

there are over 100 chiropractic techniques, and all are beneficial for certain populations.

here, we focus on something unique.

utilizing low force adjustments with sustained pressure (like melting butter with your finger), gentle massage, stretching, instrument-assisted adjusting, and other techniques we are able to release patterns that are restricting optiamal movement. These address ligamentous, muscular, fascial adhesions within and around the spine and connective tissue through the body.

While traditional adjusting techniques care occasionally be indicated, we find that less is more, and that when we give your body just the right impulse at just the right time, we can wake up the body's ability to release tension on it's own, all without much force at all.

Nervous System Regulation

Pediatrics + Optimal Development

The nervous system is the master control center of the body. When we experience chronic stress, the brain has a hard time shifting from fight/flight/freeze into rest/digest/recover/connect. By releasing tension from the spine, cranium, and craniosacral fascial network, we allow the body to function with greater ease and resiliency.

Dr. Sarah is trained in gentle techniques for kiddos that use light touch, in adjusting instrument, or a traditional manuaal adjustment that is adapted for kiddos. The adjustments are safe and effective. We help with poor posture, tongue tie tension, behavioral issues, poor sleep, constipation, difficulty concentrating, frequent illnesses

Frequently Asked Questions

what is vitalistic nervous system based chiropractic?

It means we work with the innate intelligence of the human body + the central operating system, the nervous system, to return the body from a state of chaos + stress to one of peace, ease, and adaptability - where healing + mindful living occurs.

This is in opposition to mechanism where we view the body as a disconnected system of parts that can be manipulated and replaced.

I believe the intelligence that created your body is smarter than I am, and I work with that living force to help your body heal itself.

how do you do this?

Dr. Sarah is trained in multiple techniques that seek to evaluate tension and compression patterns in the body that are impacting communication within the autonomic nervous system.

This is because the body is a bio-tensegrity structure, which means that the if one area of the body is compressed, another area is distorted. So, we don't only want to work on the compensating and symptomatic areas of the body, we want to find the root of where that is coming from.

what training do you have?

Dr. Sarah is a board certified doctor of chiropractic and trained at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia. She has been in practice since 2020. She has always had a passion for pregnacny and pediatrics and has continuously persued further education in these fields to better help her paients. When she is not in practice, you can find her sharing all about chiropractic on her instagram + attending various seminars.

Techniques that she commonly utilizes are: MC2, Torque Release Technique, Biogeometric Integration, Craniosacral, Webster Technique, and myofascial release.

how long does it take to see results?

While we are more focused on function instead fo feeling, we do recognize that symptoms are likely what has brought you here.

What if I told you that your body is intelligent? That the symptoms you experience are your body's way of communicating with you that something is out of place in your life or in your body? It's true.

Some symptoms are more surface level, the body has whispered and asked for help, and you have been quick to action. These symptoms typically improve more quickly and are unlikely to recur.

Some systems are held deeper in the body. The body has whispered and we may have been too busy or distracted or did not have the resources to listen to the body. These symptoms can change quickly but may resolve more care to full release the pattern so that they do not show up again.

We know that the body will hold onto things that It is not able to fully process and save the fragments of that experience for processing later. This means that through the healing journey, you may experience higher levels of communication from your body (more physical discomfort or emotional release, or resurfacing of past emotional stressors) or even a detoxification or clearing response (flu-like symptoms).

So what does this mean? This means that people will likely notice symptomatic improvement within 1-3 weeks, however it may take longer to fully uproot the dysfunctioanl tension/distortion pattern in the body that is causing those symptoms.

We also know that as we remove held stress and tension patterns from the body, the body is better able to adapt and recover, resulting in more optimal brain development, integration of primitive reflexes, faster recovery from injury, better immune system function, better sleep, less stress, and improved sense of overall well-being. This means that as you are better able to receive the message from your body and act on the whispers, you are able to live a more aligned life. This is what happens when people stick around with chiropractic care for longer than just the symptom relief period. The commit to 6-12 months of nervous system work and decreasing stress in their life to better function.

I support you wherever you are in this journey and hold space for your continuous evolution of self.

I am ready to get started!

what we stand for

My Intention

To provide a space of healing and community where people are encouraged and supported to connect deeply with themselves + each other so that they can experience the fullest expression of health and live out the life they were created for.

a different kind of chiropractic

Dr. Sarah focuses on tonal, or nervous system focused care, which means that unlike many other chiropractors who focus on adjusting the spine to affect the muscles + nervous system, Dr. Sarah's approach is to evaluate where there is tension within the nervous system, so the body can release tension through the spine, muscles, and fascial sytem. Because the nervous system is the master control center of the body, this can have more effects beyond just pain relief. The goal of tonal chiropractic is not to reduce symptoms, but to support healing.

empowered health

Dr. Sarah is a believer in root cause healing + she acknowledges and accepts that there are many "root causes" to dis-ease. Chiropractic helps to connect parts of you that your body has been unable to integrate. These disconnected parts of you affect the communication pathways between the brain and the body, creating static in the messaging signals + impacting your body's ability to heal.

We focus on foundational healing, meaning we provide education to support your body with the ingredients to create health. The ingredients In your life are physical, chemical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and environmental. By reconnecting with our human design, you can 10x the results you see in this office + truly change your health and life trajectory from one of symptom control, to truly thriving + living out your life's purpose.
