Meet Dr. Acacia.

I push my body and my nervous system — and I’m just as dedicated to recovering well afterward. My journey has been about learning how to heal after big efforts, and somewhere along the way I realized I wanted to help others through life’s big transitions: becoming a parent, navigating stress, chasing new goals, or going through a period of transformation.

I’m fascinated by how our bodies respond to challenge and change. I love helping people feel steady, spacious, and grounded while they push, adapt, and grow. Outside the clinic you’ll find me hiking in every season, lifting heavy things, sneaking out to live shows past my bedtime, or cooking without a recipe.

I’m excited to meet you.

Tools You Can Chose From:

  • Webster Technique

    Originally developed for pelvic balance in pregnancy, I use Webster principles more broadly to assess pelvic alignment, sacral mechanics, and surrounding ligament and muscle tension. It’s particularly helpful for people with hormonal fluctuations, low back/hip instability, or recurring asymmetry patterns.

  • Mckenzie Method

    This approach helps identify how your spine responds to specific movements and positions. It’s especially helpful for disc-related symptoms, radiating pain, and recurring “stuck” patterns. Instead of guessing, we use movement as a diagnostic tool to find what reduces or centralizes symptoms and then build on that.

  • Intraoral Jaw/TMJ Release

    This technique addresses deep musculature inside the jaw that can’t be reached externally. Because the jaw is closely connected to the neck, posture, and stress response, releasing these tissues can significantly reduce neck tension, headaches, clenching patterns, and upper cervical strain.

  • Nervous System Regulation & Reset Work

    Many chronic or recurring pain patterns are reinforced by a sensitized stress response. I incorporate hands-on techniques, breath awareness, and gentle manual input to help downshift the nervous system, reduce protective guarding, and restore a sense of ease in the body. This is often what allows other treatments to hold more effectively.

  • Soft Tissue Work

    Myofascial and trigger point release to reduce localized muscle tension and improve mobility in restricted areas. Graston and cupping therapy may also be used to address chronic soft tissue restriction and improve tissue glide and circulation.

  • Joint Mobilization & Adjustment

    Gentle joint mobilization, traction, and low-force adjustments (including Activator and pelvic blocking) are used to restore joint motion and decrease irritation, without forcing movement the body isn’t ready for.

  • Rehabilitation & Education

    Breathwork, core stabilization, and pelvic floor rehabilitation to support postural control, coordination, and long-term spinal stability, along with guidance to help you better understand and manage your symptoms between visits.
