What to expect

  • Human beings are self-healing organisms. Through attuned touch, our nervous system can develop an awareness of somatic holding patterns, allowing them to release on their own. Somatic Chiropractic gives the body a second chance to process stored physical and emotional tensions and trauma. It takes a holistic approach to the entire ecosystem of health, instead of solely focusing on the spine.

  • When we slow down and trust the body’s wisdom, it reveals what we need most. We help people learn how to listen. Facilitated embodiment during adjustments allows you to drop in, stay grounded, feel safe, and open your heart.

    Life gets tough, and it can be tempting to escape the experience by checking out of our bodies. But the answers are never out there; they’re always inside.

  • Providing a safe space for healing is one of our main focuses. Everyone who walks through our door brings with them a unique history and complex life experience. Our approach to care is designed to meet their specific needs, without rushing them through a cookie-cutter “method” or pushing through doors that aren’t ready to be opened. As a queer-owned practice, we provide gender-affirming and inclusive care for all bodies and identities to thrive.

  • "I am SO grateful to have found Dr. Myles! They are a true and deep healer and are incredibly good at what they do. Their practice is very trauma informed and that’s evident and appreciated in every aspect of their work. I was barely mobile when I came to them after having a really negative experience with another chiropractor and in a few short weeks my body is mobile and nearly pain free. Dr. Myles will not just fix the symptom, they will shift the root cause and have a deep understanding of the intersectionality of things that impact out bodies in daily life. You NEED this healer in your life."

  • "I have been coming to Dr. Myles for 6 months as of today; I just checked my records. How I managed before I do not know. In my body's "words" to me right now - "they are my best friend" Not only do I have incredible healing experiences each session; but my understanding and communication with my body keeps improving."

  • "I have never worked with a chiropractor before, and to be clear Dr. Myles is not your stereotypical chiropractor. Their knowledge of the human body is awe-inspiring. My work with them has transformed how my body feels, how I relate to it, my emotional state and strength. I have struggled for years with chaotic mental health and had a contentious relationship with my body. But through their wisdom and expertise, I have a new sense of who I am and feel empowered to cope with the natural ebbs and flows of life. I am so grateful to have crossed paths with them, and working with them has been well worth the investment. As they adjust me, I feel my nervous system sigh with relief, I become more centered and grounded, and I can appreciate just how capable I am to move through this life. If you are in physical or emotional pain, or if you can simply tell that something is out of alignment in your body, I recommend working with Dr. Myles. You will be glad you did."

  • "I went into Dr. Myles' office limping with severe pain in my knee and leg. I had a rigorous work week on my feet ahead of me and did not know how I was going to pull it off. Unlike mainstream chiropractics' typical 15-minute routine crack-n-go treatment, Dr. Myles spent the better part of an hour carefully observing and treating my body with the most gentle, non-invasive technique. Their gentle touch had me melting into the table. The next morning I was in absolute disbelief when I woke up with ZERO pain in my knee or leg! And it hasn't come back. I have since recommended Dr. Myles to a number of friends for both physical and emotional pain and they're all now going in for routine care! This is the real deal. Do yourself a solid and make an appointment!"

  • "The most impactful part for me of going to Dr.Myles is FINALLY having my internal experience of chronic pain validated and reflected back to me by a professional. I have experienced pain for decades that doctors can't figure out because I don't have an obvious break or tear. The way that Dr.Myles works is like they can put their hands on you and can read your body like a treasure map. They can use that information to then untangle the holding patterns in your body to bring your back into balance and have things become springy and work properly. Dr.Myles to me feels like some sort of body clairvoyant. I know they have trained extensively and continue their education constantly and at the same time their work feels like magic. It is apparent that they are working with the innate gifts that were given to them in this life. Other positives about Dr. Myles is that they are queer and provide trauma informed services. I have asked them to tap in and tap out when they are working on me and they consistently show up with that. They also have a relaxed environment and good music and I always feel like I relax noticeably on their table (often coming in anxious about being late and driving). It is a great nervous system recharge. Myles offers group sessions for a more affordable option than a private which is genius because as they adjust you and move between you and others your body has time to integrate the work they did before continuing with more work. This is the option I did because of cost and I enjoy it but if I could afford it I would 100% do privates with Myles."
