Customer testimonials
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
I started sessions with Kristen because I was having constant joint pain for years from scoliosis. Now 50% or more of my days are glorious pain free days!
She did such a great job that I was able to play full court basketball and never had back surgery. This led me to send her a Christmas card saying “Thanks for giving me my life back.” I still see her for “tuneups” on my posture and haven’t had any back issues since. Great stuff.
Her expertise and the experience has been invaluable. I have referred many friends and patients to her. Preventing and functioning through proper alignment is crucial to long term health! Thanks Kristen!
At the ripe old age of 80, I attribute my extreme good health not only to my mother's and father's good genes but also to 15 years of working with Kristen and Amy and, of course, one million cats & dogs! Life is good!!
