I had the privilege of going to the NUCCA conference last week in sunny Newport Beach. It was wonderful to see other NUCCA doctors who also love their jobs and want to improve their skills. It was great to learn from those more experienced in the NUCCA adjusting procedures. I am always inspired by how [...]
I got the oil changed in my car today, and replaced the air filter. I try to maintain it well so that it lasts a long time. Cars are expensive and we rely on them so much. It is important to take care of the things we are blessed with. I am also going to [...]
Most of us remember exactly where we were when we heard the news about the events of September 11th, 2001. We've made it another trip around the sun, and here we are again - 9/11. Dates make an impact on our emotions. Some dates are happy; some are tragic. Our bodies create hormones in response [...]
I absolutely love my family! In February, we added another baby boy to our home in Livermore. My husband, Jayson, and I are now parents to a 3.5 year old and a 2.5 month old. Life is a lot more tiring now but we are very happy and healthy. Big brother is very loving and [...]
A friend of mine has been on a journey of keeping herself and her family healthy. She's been an inspiration to me on so many levels. She homeschools her four kids. She bakes a lot of things, including keeping a gluten-free and a non-gluten-free diet for members of her family. She sees a chiropractor and [...]
Summer is here! And with it, the sunny weather - except for today. Today we have rain and cloudy skies. This morning while I was in the car with my 2 and a half year old, we were discussing the fact that the sun comes up every day. Every day we can count on the [...]
I always love spring. I enjoy the winter as well, when the trees lose their leaves and the air is crisp. Plants have a chance to hibernate and rejuvenate. Spring is a reminder of new life. We see lambs as well as other baby animals being born. We see new bright green leaves on trees [...]
You may have had a fabulous year! You may have had a very difficult year. Either way, 2013 is coming and it is a fresh start. A chance to either continue what has been working, or begin again. Please take advantage of the start of a new year to "restart" your life. Is your personal [...]
Harvest season is here. My grandfather was a farmer. He would work extremely hard to grow his crops all season. He didn't just plant them and then leave them alone. He took care of the soil before planting, then chose the crops wisely, watered them, fertilized them, got rid of the weeds that would destroy [...]
According to the calendar, fall started a week and a half ago, but the weather thinks it's still summer. Nevertheless, autumn has arrived and with it the leaves on the trees have begun to change color. Soon the leaves will fall. Sometimes I think about the seasons relating more to our bodies than simply the [...]
In honor of Valentine's Day, I wanted to mention how love can be shown in many ways. Regardless of whether we have a sweetheart or not, Valentine's Day is a day to remind others that we love them. Say "I love you" to friends and family. Take note that people feel love in different ways. [...]
Find out why people drive 30-60 minutes (or more) each way for a NUCCA correction at Vital Life Wellness Center, passing many other chiropractors on their way. Why would they do that? Because I care about you and your health. You receive my full attention. I listen to you and give you individualized care. You [...]
This month I've had two bouts of sharp neck and shoulder pain. Both of them occurred after I lost my NUCCA adjustment. I don't usually have too much pain when I'm out of alignment, but this helped to remind me of what I was like before chiropractic care. People need NUCCA! I sure do! I'm [...]
