Neurologically based chiropractic

We find exactly where the stress is in your brain and cranial nerves. Then we reset it.

Cranial work and NET, together. Six neurological tests every visit, so you see the change measured, not just described. We partner with you to care for the whole body, holistically.

Step 01 · The fog

It starts in the fog.

Brain fog. A racing mind. Sleep that doesn’t rest you. Many of the people who find this practice have been to ten doctors and still feel off. The missing piece is often not another prescription. It is a nervous system stuck in a stress response that never got to finish.

Step 02 · Not firing

Your brain is not broken. It’s not firing.

How is your brain communicating with the other parts of your brain, and with your body? When a circuit is under stress, it fires weak. These treatments are brain resets: out of fight or flight, into the parasympathetic, where healing, digestion, and real sleep happen.

Step 03 · The tests

Six tests. You see it yourself.

Six neurological tests, plus two or three of the twelve cranial nerves. You can do them or you can’t, and we both see exactly where your brain is stressed: left brain, right brain, left cerebellum, right cerebellum. The neurological testing doesn’t lie.

Step 04 · The treatment

Cranial work and NET.

Very few practitioners are trained in both. It is not talk therapy, and it is not guesswork. The adjustment comes last, and only where the testing says it serves — get the stressors off first, and you need to adjust less.

Step 05 · The retest

You could not do this. Now you can.

The same tests, again. Nine times out of ten the change is right there, measured in your own body. Your neck turned 15 degrees. Now it turns 90, with no adjusting of the spine.

Dr. Bae inspires trust with her capable and knowledgeable manner. You feel safe, heard and seen as a whole person while in her care. She is invested in your health as a whole picture and is a gifted clinician.

Step 06 · Out of the fog — after treatment, patients report

Better sleep. Less pain. Better range of motion. Better digestion. Sharper focus. Less anxiety. More energy. And, most importantly, more JOY.

“I help people get out of the fog and back to feeling like themselves.”

We work from these 4 Core Pillars

Cranial work and NET together. Very few practitioners are trained in both. Every visit draws on what the body is actually asking for.

Her story

Aging With Power

It all started in 2000 when I was in a gap year living in Spain. I was sitting on a bridge, preparing to go to MBA school the following year, and I got an epiphany. From nowhere, my life purpose was to help people walk through a rehabilitation of some kind.

I knew in the deepest truth this was true. I had studied nothing but business and Spanish up to that point. I called my parents and said I am changing courses, and I am going to medical school. They were not happy.

I am now 55 and can say I have navigated through my second year in menopause with bumps but overall with power, naturally. This all led me to be the biggest stand for women that having individualized healthcare matters, and that is what my life purpose is all about.

Although my background is being a chiropractor, in this next chapter of my practice I am leaning more into the functional medicine aspect of my work.

So grateful to be on this journey with you.
