The Spark Story

Geoff and I have been catalyzing our patients' lives through better health for many years.  We owned and managed a large chiropractic, acupuncture and massage clinic in Portland and now life has brought us to the beautiful town of Ashland.  We are excited to be a part of this lovely community and get back to what matters in our lives: our family and the people we love.

Our new vision, as Geoff put it well, is to "start small and grow slow," which we realize is the opposite of the standard business model and very different from the way we ran our clinic in Portland.  We've learned we want to spend more time directly helping with our minds and our hands, rather than to put our energies toward running a large business and miss out of the joy that direct patient care brings.

We both approach care of our patients in a pragmatic way, that is: Do What Works.  We realize that is the reason that there are so many great healers in the world: different styles work for different bodies.  In that we have, collectively, 32 years of direct patient care, we have many tools in our belts and offer varied approaches to help our patients in the way that works best for them.  

We have a strong education in Diversified, Science-based chiropractic adjusting and, in the years that followed our education, we also have both become experienced at drop table, activator and other low force techniques for the folks that the "quick moves" don't work for.  We are highly skilled at treating all musculoskeletal complaints, from life-long headaches to sprained knees to an achy back in pregnancy.  We listen carefully and together, as providers and patient, we develop a highly customized plan for getting you better.  Our goal is, above all else, for our patients to feel safe, understood and well cared for.  

We are also happy to offer, through Dr. Geoff's advanced degree in Chinese medicine, full service Oriental Medicine, with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Tuina massage, as well as other traditional Chinese modalities, nutritional and lifestyle education.  Acupuncture can treat a vast array of health concerns as well as provide preventative care for every season.  In addition to treating all manner of illness, injury and disease, Dr. Geoff offers traditional and modern day uses of acupuncture for stress reduction, weight loss, smoking cessation, and restful sleep.  Acupuncture is a perfect complement to chiropractic care for many conditions.

We recognize that sometimes all it takes is a spark from the outside to allow someone to heal their own selves and we honor the self-empowerment that this brings.  Above all, we want to provide you with the tools to maintain your own sense of health and wellness.

We believe that everyone has a right to respectful healthcare and happily open our doors and our hearts to people of all orientations, genders (and non-binary genders), colors, ethnicities, sizes, belief systems and any other thing that makes you special.  You are welcome here.
