Dr. Kristen knows every body (and every age!) is unique and deserves to be treated so. She loves supporting people to improve their wellbeing and find greater connection to their body.
Dr. Kristen has trained in a variety of chiropractic techniques with the goal of having tools in her toolbox to help each individual and their ever-changing needs.
She is most notably certified in:
