Heather has lived all over the world, but no matter how far she roams, she always ends up coming home to the Central Coast. She joins us from the Chiropractic field where she has provided office support and insurance coordination services since 2005. In 2011, she earned her Associates Degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Behavioral Sciences and has found that degree immeasurably useful in her day-to-day patient interactions. Heather is also a certified Reiki practitioner, believes in a holistic approach to wellness, and LOVES to cook. When she's not at work gladly helping patients get the care they deserve, Heather spends time with her husband Cameron, her cats, crafting miniatures and jewelry, working on her cookbook, and taking long road trips up to the mountains.
