Chiropractic was founded on the philosophy that the body has an inborn
ability to heal itself and stay healthy even when under stress. When we
become overwhelmed by stress, our threshold for coping is lowered and
we begin to store residual tension in our bodies. The purpose of the
chiropractic adjustment is to discover where this tension is holding on,
and to help you release it, thereby allowing you to gain greater
adaptability and ease in your body, mind, and spirit. A wonderful side
effect of having greater ease in our bodies is that often pain and
discomfort will be dramatically decreased.

Dr. Kenda specializes in gentle family chiropractic care. She did a diplomate program in pregnancy and pediatric care and is also a doula. Dr. Kenda has extensively studied such specialties as Cranio-sacral work, Biogeometric Integration, and Sacral-Occipital technique. Pregnant mamas find that getting adjusted will help relieve much of the discomfort and overwhelming sensations of pregnancy, and that chiropractic care helps their labors and births to be much shorter and smoother, and complication free. Dr. Kenda will often attend births to adjust the mom during labor and the baby once it comes out. A gentle and precise touch can help with many issues in breast feeding, fussiness, and simply adapting to their new world. She cares for many babies who have undergone birth trauma through a prolonged or precipitous labor, vacuum or forceps extraction, c-section, prematurity, or severe physical conditions. Many struggles that babies go through can be easily relieved with simple adjustments and follow through suggestions for home.
Dr. Armene Lamson went to school locally at Life Chiropractic College West. Upon graduation, she opened a practice in New Zealand. This was followed by stints in the UK, New Jersey, and Maui; she’s an adventurer. She is also glad to be settling down once again in the Bay Area.
Armene is a staff member for Bio Geometric Integration, a chiropractic approach that assists folks both in releasing tension patterns and also teaching the body how to better handle the stresses of life.
She loves working with pregnant women, babies, and children as this is such an influential time of life. She is a trained Doula and has completed extra course work in chiropractic pediatrics and pregnancy. In her free time, you will find her outside: walking, skiing, boating; and when the sun goes down, curled up with a book or out dancing.
