Cultivating Community

What does community mean to you? Community to me is knowing where my food is grown and buying it from the farmer. It is supporting local businesses that are congruent with my personal and professional values and ethics. It is serving my patients with the highest quality of chiropractic care and always pushing myself to be a better doctor. It is participating in the world around me with and open and service oriented heart space. Finally, it is constantly striving for balance in my play, prep, and prime time’s!

One of the things I am most grateful for has been establishing relationships with amazing health care providers and business owners in the Santa Barbara community. We have a long list of community partners listed on our webpage(www.GenuineChiro.com).It is nice because patients spend more time speaking with our staff than they normally do at other doctors offices, so we get to know our patients quite well. From biodynamic farmers to holistic salons if someone mentions they are looking for these lifestyle enhancing services we are able to give them a business card. Our focus is always the spine and nervous system and then we are able to support our community in a clear way. With Genuine Chiropractic Inc. as the only 100 Year Lifestyle affiliates in Santa Barbara elevating health in our community through chiropractic care. We are so proud to serve alongside our wonderful community partners and look forward to the rise of true health care in this region.

                  

Riding the Wave

I finally found myself confidence, it had been inside of me the entire time! This past weekend I spoke to the faculty at Life Chiropractic College West regarding how to teach VI students. It was not only a huge honor but a major self discovery experience. Yes, of course I was a bit nervous and did not know completely what to expect, but innately I knew what to do and say! Like I mentioned in my most recent blog, I feel like I am continuing my mother’s work and it makes me so happy! I never thought I would be in this role of consulting for a college and possibly mentoring VI students but it feels right in my soul and I am allowing that to Gide my heart and actions.

I have realized that I can no longer live with shame about my eye disease and that I must do my best to educate the world. Part of my personal purpose statement is that I must tell my story as a source of inspiration throughout the world… so this is part of the work I will do!

Coming back from “The Wave conference” has renewed my fire to build a successful practice through a loving service oriented heart space. I am excited to get to work and raise the vibration on this planet through delivering chiropractic care, telling the story, role modeling in my community, serving chiropractic, loving myself, and never giving up!
