Well life can sure get interesting at times! Some of us had only just come together for a year or two when we were thrust into an intense flurry of change and new things. This impacted many of our practitioners as well as our patient community. We value our relationships with providers in our community highly and although we honor the decisions that everyone felt they had to make, we are also feeling some of the ripples of that change on our team.
We are all in this together, and with the never ending changes COVID has brought, we thought it was about time to update you on our practitioners. This season of life has given all of us time to freshen up some of our skills and learn new things! So here it is: who is left, when they work, what they do and how to book with them!
Sarah Carter LAC
Sarah has a real passion for trigger point acupuncture and working with the musculoskeletal system. Additionally, Sarah treats hormone imbalance, digestive health, mood conditions and assists her patients through fertility and pregnancy. Unlike last year, travel has not been possible so Sarah has taken this time to stay in town and treat all those who need it.
Sarah is bookable on-line and is here all day Thursday and Friday, and in the mornings of Saturday and Sunday.
Amber Hincks LAC
Amber has started the doctorate program at OCOM. Distance learning and going back as a student after being a teacher for so long has been a learning experience to say the least. Amber still loves treating anything that comes her way including pain, fertility and mental health.
Amber is bookable on-line and is here Tuesday mornings, and Thursday and Friday afternoons.
Molly Erickson LAC
Molly’s been back in the clinic since late May. The time away gave her the opportunity to start gardening for the first time as an adult; it’s become a new obsession! She also had time to read and re-read many of her favorite books on female health. Molly is continuing to use her amazing skills to work on those who have hormone imbalances, mental health concerns and physical pain. Currently she’s excited about a postpartum course she’s taking on herbs, acupuncture and nutrition to support new mamas.
Molly is bookable on-line and here Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday and Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Rachel Wysocki DC
After returning back to the clinic with out her partner in crime, Dr. Rachel has great fully opened up her schedule to accommodate those patients who are missing Dr. Maddie. Dr. Rachel has a masters in Exercise Sports Science that she completed before she went to Chiropractic school. If you are ready to get back in the chiropractic room but are worried you don’t get to see Maddie, tell Rachel how much you miss her and she will make sure to adjust you similarly to Maddie’s method. Rachel loves working with anyone who is looking to improve their physical body. She has a true passion for runners, being one herself but she is ready and willing to meet you where you are on your journey to health.
Rachel is bookable on-line and here Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings.
Sarah Marie Livings
Sarah Marie took the time to allow for some personal healing. Through those experiences, she has strengthened her relationships with her guides and allies as well as attuned to the Reiki masters in a whole new way. Sarah Marie enjoys treating anyone who is ready to address any of the changes they want in their life, and truly believes that people come to her when it is the right time for those to occur. She also loves working on anyone with hands or feet who need a little extra attention.
Sarah Marie is bookable on-line and here Tuesday and Sunday.
Summer Adhara LMT
Long sunny days and cold water swims are two of Summer’s favorite things. Summer has been our one massage therapist who continued working throughout the last year and has been ready and available for all of our Vitalize community members who have been in need with her reassuring tough. Summer’s style of massage, rhythmical massage, allows for a peaceful, supportive release of the full body with a focus on the natural rhythm that occur. We haven’t found a condition that she couldn’t help us with.
Summer is bookable on-line and here Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Marisa Farr LMT
A little over a year ago, Marisa decided it was time to give Vitalize everything she had and she took on many rolls, one of which was billing. While the world slowed down, it gave Marisa the time to dig into our many accounts and step away from patient care. She does miss all of you. She specializes in craniosacral which she primarily uses to treat head injuries, migraine suffers, TMJ issues, flight or fight responses, and trama (including motor vehicle accidents). The other side of Marisa’s work includes an effective heavy hand that works through low back pain, neck and shoulder tension. One of her greatest joys is when a patient makes a commitment to heal and gives the time to let their body process.
Marisa is bookable through request only, but is fairly flexible with her schedule.
Audra Erickson LMT
Audra is delicately balancing being a new dog mom while coming back into the office. Audra has taken this time to get situated in our city and taking additional classes to add to her amazing skill set. She has been known to use hot stones during her deep tissue massage wile getting on the table and using her feet for an Ashiatsu style massage. This allows her to reach a therapeutic depth to her massages that often go unnoticed. She truly enjoys those patients who are ready to receive.
Audra is bookable on-line and here Tuesday and Wednesday.
