Dr Laura, Balanced Bear Chiropractor

HI!

I’m Laura. Chiropractor, movement optimist, and believer that you can be calm inside and wild outside.

I’m passionate about providing care that respects your time, body, and goals.

My background: As a kid, I was sick a lot: stomach issues, very little energy, acid reflux, and couldn’t drink Mountain Dew without getting sick while my siblings were fine & healthy. A naturopath & chiropractor eventually helped me get my energy and freedom back, which sparked a lifelong obsession with the body’s ability to adapt and heal.

I took my first anatomy class as a freshman in high school and asked to keep the text book over the summer so I could re-read it. As a Sophomore, I injured my shoulder during a cross country ski practice. After months of Physical Therapy, ONE visit with a Chiropractor finally took 90% of the pain away. It was friggen magic and I knew I wanted to help people the same way. I earned my Bachelor’s in Human Biology from Winona State and my Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University. After practicing in Minnesota (too cold) and Texas (too hot), I moved to San Diego (just right) to be closer to family and spend more time outside.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me tinkering in the garage on creative projects, scouring google maps for local chlorophyll and high UV possibilities, organizing closets, attempting to make my very handsome husband laugh, annoying my 3 step kids by asking them to do chores, and belly laughing with my friends and family.
