hi i’m dr. john. i grew up in la mesa and have lived in california my whole life. i grew up with parents who were interested in finding natural, holistic ways to support their kids and help us be the best versions of ourselves. this led to the exploration of traditional and time-honored remedies, how food can drastically alter our wellbeing, and then we found chiropractic. we noticed such profound results that it became a foundation for our long term vitalism, and continues to be today. that experience showed me the incredible potential for healing and adaptability that is innate within me, and within all life, but was simply being blocked. without those limitations i felt amazing transformations in my physicality, emotional intelligence, and connection with the world around me. this sparked the excitement in me to become a chiropractor and help unlock that same potential within my community members.

charlie and i met and have been together since chiropractic school in the bay area. we decided that more sunshine was our priority and are so happy to now call encinitas our home. being under the sun, be it playing, exercising, or napping, is an almost-daily must have of mine. i get into the ocean when I can, and love to nourish and treat myself with delicious food. my goal is to utilize chiropractic care and the healthy habits i’ve learned to live and enjoy my life to the fullest, and help others do the same.
