Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a "whole person approach" to wellness which means looking for underlying causes of interference in the nervous system’s natural ability to provide clear & concise communication from brain to body and back.


Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can help with stress management and relaxation, circulation, lymphatic drainage, muscle tension, range of motion, and sleep quality.⠀


Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles at specific points on the body. Acupuncture has been shown to decrease pain and markers of inflammation while additionally downregulating the sympathetic nervous system.

Dr. Mandy Chan believes in living with passion, giving with love, and serving with purpose. Having been a lifelong athlete, Dr. Mandy sustained various sports injuries over the years that cultivated an insatiable curiosity about the body and its amazing ability to heal. This led her to explore chiropractic and ultimately attend Life Chiropractic College West. During her time there she trained with Kairos Training Culture and dedicated weekends to seminars in both osseous and tonal techniques. 

Dr. Mandy approaches each individual as a unique mind-body-spirit system. As a facilitator of healing, she employs chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue and integrative tonal/energy work to invite your body to unravel patterns of tension, allowing for increased brain-body connection and optimal life expression. Dr. Mandy is certified in the Webster Technique and has extensive training in extremities as well as lighter force techniques/systems such as Biogeometric Integration, craniosacral, and spring-loaded instrument. 

Outside of the office, Dr. Mandy is an avid Ultimate Frisbee player, CrossFitter, cat-lover, and camping enthusiast. She has previously served as Team Doctor for Oakland Guerrilla, an elite Ultimate Frisbee team, and for two professional Ultimate Frisbee teams (SF Flamethrowers and Oakland Spiders) in the AUDL. She continues her involvement in the Ultimate community through coaching. Possessing a playful spirit and full of dynamic energy, Dr. Mandy is passionate about working with families, office professionals and athletes alike and enjoys holding space for others to show up as their most authentic selves.

Kerrie first became interested in bodywork after a car accident left her experiencing chronic pain and tension in her late teens. She enrolled at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon in 2019 and became licensed to practice massage therapy in the state of Oregon in 2021. After a decade in Portland, Kerrie became a certified massage therapist in California and returned to her hometown of Oakland to continue her practice and spend time with family.

Kerrie considers her massage practice to be vocational and prioritizes nervous system regulation with the intention of reducing both anxiety and physical discomfort. She values autonomy, informed consent, and patient input and favors myofascial work as well as Swedish and deep tissue techniques.

When she’s not practicing massage, Kerrie can be found hiking the Berkeley Fire Trails, drawing, or attempting to cook a vegan meal for friends and family without first looking at a recipe.
