As of January 1st, 2022, all clients who are uninsured or option to self-pay for services, and will be beginning a new course of care with us, have the right to a Good Faith Estimate. This is in keeping with the No Surprises Act act and will provide a general overview of the costs you are likely to incur throughout your course of care.

Please be sure to let us know if you will be paying for your care out-of-pocket so we can provide you with an estimate prior to your first appointment.

Hey! I’m Dr. Megan (she/her). I am a Portland transplant by way of Dallas, TX but I grew up in Central California. After graduating from University High School in Fresno, CA, I made my way to UC Davis where I studied Neurobiology, Physiology and Human Behavior. My plan was to attend medical school to pursue Neurosurgery. I quickly realized that I didn’t love going to hospitals everyday but had no idea what else I wanted to do.

I took a summer volunteering positing with the Epilepsy Foundation and was working with kids with epilepsy and their medical teams. It was at this summer camp that I first spoke with a chiropractor. Like most people, I thought chiropractic was only helpful for back and neck pain and I was curious about why a child with epilepsy would see a chiropractor. I had never made the connection between the spine and nervous system and how the relationship of your spinal bones to your spinal cord could actually influence your overall health. I was HOOKED and changed my path to pursue a career as a chiropractor.

My mission is to help people of all body sizes live life at their highest potential. I am a plus-size activist with the goal of showing the world that you can be healthy at every size and that if you have a larger body, it does not mean you are unhealthy. On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you are experiencing health issues, it may not directly correlate to your weight. I want to help my patients connect with their body and foster a self-love that can help them heal from the inside out.

I am an avid rock and mountain climber. If I’m not in the office, you can bet I’m dangling off a mountain face somewhere with my partner Andy.

Hi! I’m Crista (she/her). Online appointment booking will charge a $40 deposit for the first visit only.

Other types of massages I am able to perform include Swedish, Cranio-Sacral, and Basic Thai. I also have extensive experience with manual lymphatic drainage.

In my spare time, you will find me kayaking and rock climbing.
