Training & Credentials
The formal record, worn honestly and in full.
The formal record — worn honestly, in full.
My authority comes from two places, and both belong here: the paper (my degree, my functional-medicine training, my continuing education) and the practice (fifteen-plus years of clinical work, five years running a wellness practice, and four children raised on this from their first days). Most people in this space have one or the other. I am grateful to have both.
About my credentials
A word before the list, because public health education should never dodge the obvious question. A Doctor of Chiropractic is a licensed clinician trained in the musculoskeletal system, functional health, and whole-body wellness. I practiced for more than fifteen years. In 2026 an injury ended my ability to practice chiropractic, so I no longer treat patients — I teach. On this site and channel I am a functional health educator: I explain how the body works and what the research shows. I do not diagnose, and I do not treat. That frame is not a limitation I am hiding; it is exactly the truth, and I would rather you trust me for it.
