Treatment Modalities
I have a family wellness practice serving the Lakeview community of Chicago for 16+ years. I use both traditional and low force chiropractic techniques, massage therapy, and nutritional counseling.
Experience
I have been a practicing chiropractor for over 16 years and have seen many survivors of sexual violence in my practice. Being a woman, I have attracted a large number of women to my practice. I serve the LGBTQ population. I have found this type of trauma very prevalent in this community as well. I have done mission work in the Dominican Republic and I am embarking on street mission work here in Chicago with The Night Ministry – which is helping LGBTQ homeless youth. I authored the book “You Can Be Well!” which discusses the five critical steps to wellness: Remove Nerve Interference; Supply Nutritional Sufficiency; Reduce Stress; Exercise is a Nutrient; Remove Toxicity and is available online.
My Interest in Working with Survivors
I see first hand the physical manifestations of trauma in the body. There is a very specific presentation to a patient that has undergone this violence and even when they do not confide in me, or maybe they don’t even remember the abuse, it goes in and needs healed. I also have a specialty in working with pregnancy. I find that survivors of sexual violence need more support during this vulnerable and sometimes frightening time.
How My Practice Holistically Addresses the Impacts of Sexual Trauma
There is something in my field called somatization. This means that trauma of any kind can get trapped in the soft tissue of the body. As a chiropractor, I feel like anything I can do to heal the nerves, muscles and other soft tissues will help that person with a true WHOLISTIC healing!
Modifications for Survivors
I pride myself in offering a safe place for people to heal. I am open to tweaking anything in my treatment to make that person more comfortable.
Payment Options
While I do not offer a sliding-scale, I do have payment plans to help ensure people receive the care they need. I do not participate in insurance so this allows me to keep my fees very reasonable and my payment methods flexible.
