I'm Dr. Kendra Kautz, chiropractor and holistic health consultant based in Orange County, CA.
I became passionate about whole-body health the hard way: through my own years of burnout, gut issues, migraines, autoimmunity, and chronic injury from sports. The conventional approach kept handing me more prescriptions or more physical therapy for the symptoms, while never really answering the question I was actually asking. Why is this happening?
The breakthroughs came when I stopped treating my body like a collection of disconnected parts. Once I started looking at it as one connected system (structural, chemical, emotional), things finally started to shift. That's when I knew this was the work I wanted to do for other people.
As a holistic chiropractor, I treat the whole person. I use applied kinesiology principles in my work, which means I use gentle muscle testing to see how your nervous system is responding, so I can trace a pattern of pain or weakness back to what is actually driving it, whether that's structural, chemical or emotional. Together with posture analysis, questionnaires and lab testing when it's warranted, this gives me the full picture rather than one slice of it, and it's often how we discover that a nagging back, hip or shoulder issue is connected to hormones, blood sugar or stress.
I believe that when people really understand how all the systems in their body work together, they feel empowered to take charge of their health and create lasting change. My job isn't to fix you. It's to help you see what your body has been trying to tell you, and give you the tools to respond.
When I'm not with patients, you'll find me at the beach, playing volleyball, hitting a pilates, spin or strength class, hanging with my dog, or at a health and wellness seminar. I love the work, and I love the people it lets me show up for.
Send me a message and tell me a little about what you're experiencing. No pressure, just a real conversation about where to start.
