Hello, I'm “Dr. J”, chiropractor and exercise physiologist. Born first of seven children taught me that each person is unique in their experience of life. There are infinite ways to approach and facilitate the inborn healing process present in each of us. Chiropractic is unique in its art, science and philosophy of healing that has helped many people rediscover their true health and wellness. 

My own athletic experiences and injuries led me to chiropractic during my college years. I was a competitive distance runner for 15 years with numerous wins in California and “retiring” with a top fifteenth finish at Pikes Peak Ascent in 1986. Chiropractic kept me “running” (literally) by enhancing recovery, maximizing biomechanical efficiency, accelerating healing and decreasing spinal stress. Chiropractic also helped me during my transition into competitive women's bicycle racing that same year. In 1988, I competed at the Olympic Cycling Trials in Spokane, Washington. My cycling career would have continued had I not experienced another trauma. 

Two months after the Olympic Trials I had a serious rock climbing accident. Yet again, chiropractic helped me recover and I knew my life's calling. I enrolled at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. By 1992, I returned to Colorado and opened Healing Touch Chiropractic of Boulder. The mission: “Optimize life expression one spine at a time".

My approach uses principles of exercise physiology, bio-mechanics, customized adjustive techniques, laboratory assessment of blood and salivary values, comuterized analysis of dietary, nutritional and hormone values, and state-of-the-art FDA approved low level laser therapy (3LT™).  Cold light laser therapy has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation while maximizing muscle strength and joint range of motion (for more  on cold lasers go to www.erchonia.com). Most importantly: listening to the unique history of each patient reveals the best treatment methods to offer. I look forward to how I may be of service to you!   Dr. J
