| As
the child of two native
Oregonians, I always
felt a strong connection
to the Rose City. Growing
up, my family traveled
to Portland every summer
to spend time with relatives,
enjoying Oregon's amazing
coast and breath-taking
mountains. So, although
I was born and raised in
beautiful British Columbia,
I knew Portland was where
I wanted to
plant my roots and pursue
my passion in chiropractic.
With interests in natural
medicine, sports and
preventative care,
chiropractic seemed
like an obvious choice.
I started spending
time with chiropractors
and learning about
what it meant to be
one. I was excited
to learn that being
a chiropractor meant
much more than ‘cracking
backs.’ I learned
that chiropractic is
a science and philosophy
that encompasses a
large variety of treatment
methods. The founding
belief of chiropractic
that ‘the body
has the ability to
heal itself’ was
completely in line
with my personal philosophy
of health and healing.
After graduating from
Western States Chiropractic
College in Portland,
Oregon, I joined a
local practice to extend
the great chiropractic
education I had received.
Over the past few years
I have worked as an
associate doctor in
an established chiropractic
clinic and in the Outpatient
clinic at the chiropractic
college. As an associate
chiropractor and clinic
assistant I was able
to learn from doctors
with many years in
the profession. This
experience gave me
a chance to try many
different chiropractic
techniques and determine
which methods best
suited my patients.
Once I had determined
my own personal style
it was obvious that
I needed to follow
that passion and open
my own clinic. After
many months of searching,
the opportunity to
work at Highland Chiropractic
Clinic became my reality.
Chiropractic has been
a huge part of both
mine and my wife’s
life for many years.
I have seen what is
possible when a patient
is in the hands of
a skilled compassionate
chiropractor and I
feel fortunate to be
able to offer this
service to others.
