6 hidden root causes of anxiety
Anxiety is never "just anxiety." Here are the six places I look first: biochemical, structural, and emotional.

Structural, chemical, emotional. I assess all three because that's how your body actually works, as one connected system.
Spinal adjustments, posture evaluation, applied kinesiology tools, and Webster's Technique for pregnancy. Helping your body move and align the way it was designed to.
In-depth questionnaires, detailed history, and lab reviews when appropriate. Personalized nutrition and supplement guidance covering thyroid, hormones, metabolic and gut health.
Nervous system regulation and somatic-release techniques for the stress, anxiety, and unresolved patterns the body often holds onto.
Whether you're navigating postpartum, working through chronic fatigue, or wanting to feel like yourself again, there's a path forward.
I'm a chiropractor and holistic health consultant based in Orange County, CA. My approach combines chiropractic care with applied kinesiology principles to evaluate the body structurally, chemically, and emotionally.
After navigating my own struggles with burnout, gut issues, migraines, autoimmunity, and chronic sports injury, I became passionate about helping others get to the bottom of what's holding them back from feeling their best.
When I'm not with patients, you'll find me at the beach, playing volleyball, hitting a pilates or spin class, hanging with my dog, or buried in a wellness textbook.
"I'm passionate about helping people get to the root of their symptoms, restore balance, and thrive."
I've been dealing with headaches, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and mild depression, along with other small aches and pains for over a decade. I had a baby earlier this year and was worried about being able to function going back to work with my sleep compromised. My body was very out of whack after being pregnant and giving birth, and I was hobbling around in a lot of pain every day. Kendra was able to help me improve by leaps and bounds on all fronts with just a few small diet tweaks and supplementation. I have way more energy, less brain fog, and my joints and muscles feel much better than they did before getting pregnant. I wake up every day excited to deal with the challenges of life rather than wonder how I am going to get through the day. I stopped taking SSRIs and am optimistic about being able to stay off of them, which obviously has positive ripple effects over my life and relationships. I generally feel like my outlook on life is more positive and I feel more resilient now that I have the tools and support that Kendra provides.
