Catalyst for Change
For me, health and healing have always been a lifelong journey. With over 34 years of experience as a chiropractor and now as the founder of Root and Reason Functional Medicine, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside countless individuals on their path to wellness. But it’s not just my professional background that shapes how I practice—it’s the full, lived experience of navigating my own ups and downs, challenges, and growth that allows me to meet clients with understanding and compassion.
I know what it feels like to be disconnected, stuck, or simply not living at your best. My passion is inspiring change in those moments—helping clients reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and move toward a healthier, more vibrant life.
My training in sports medicine, gentle light-force adjusting, quantum neurology, Psych-K, and functional medicine gives me a broad, integrative toolkit. I focus on body awareness, stress resilience, sleep, mindful movement, and nutrition, weaving together strategies that address the whole person rather than just symptoms.
Living in Squamish keeps me grounded in the lifestyle I encourage my clients to embrace—active, connected, and in tune with the natural rhythms of health. When I’m not with clients, you’ll find me skiing, biking, or enjoying time with family in the beautiful Sea to Sky Corridor.
At Root and Reason, I believe that health is about more than fixing what’s broken—it’s about creating alignment, balance, and the confidence to live fully. My mission is to guide you toward a life where you feel energized, empowered, and deeply connected to yourself again.
“When health is absent,
wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot be manifest, strength cannot be exerted, wealth is useless, and reason is powerless.” — Herophilus
