Helping people make sense of their health and their lives

My doctoral research looked at how people make sense of, and assign meaning to, the unexpected and unintended consequences of chiropractic treatment, and what that means for clinical practice. It grew into an integral model of health care in which the person's own experience matters as much as what can be measured.

I don't look at health as a thing. It is more of an attitude, a balance of physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing. Care starts by listening, without judgment, to a person's concerns and experiences.
