1. What’s one thing that instantly makes your day better?

Chocolate. Easily the best way to a better day. Our front desk knows cause I am usually going in there to ask if we have any.

2. What’s your favorite thing about what you do?

My favorite part of being a chiropractor is seeing the progress people make before my eyes. Seeing people I work with regain their physical freedom and keep doing the things that excite them is without a doubt my favorite.

3. What’s your favorite way to unwind on your days off?

Workouts with friends, playing soccer, Timbers games, walks around Portland, and doing a little bit of gaming.

Next up is Emeilya! Here is more about her.

What’s one thing that instantly makes your day better?

Taking a moment to span out and remember how teeny tiny we actually are. The perspective change is always soooo helpful for me. Soul gazing with a dog is right up there too of course.

What is your favorite thing about what you do?

When I can help people come home to their bodies. So often we are in our heads thinking or resisting pain and discomfort in the body. The way massage can quiet this even just for a moment is total magic and I am so grateful to be able to help people settle into themselves.

What’s your favorite way to unwind on your days off?

Meandering. On a walk. Or a drive. Or in my mind. Turning my phone off for days at a time.

Emeilya sees patients for massage on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays.

Let’s get to know more about Ryan!

1. Whats one thing that makes your day instantly better?

Realizing exactly the right song or band for that particular moment in my life

2. What is your favorite thing about what you do?

I absolutely love working with my hands, and in often nonverbal space in a world, filled with words and screens. I also just love getting to help provide time and space for folks to take a beat and explore, and be in dialogue about the experience of their lives and their bodies .

3. What’s your favorite way to unwind on your days off?

Spending a meandering summer day, biking all over the city, stitching together whatever random assortment of gatherings and things that are on my calendar that day. Also, jumping in the river every time I pass it.
