Dr. Patricia was born in Oakland, CA and raised in the Bay Area. A graduate of Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, she has been the owner of Connection Cafe: A Chiropractic Center since 2019. Dr. Patricia has personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic throughout her life and with her two sons. She has always had a keenness for embracing the body’s own inherent ability to function, to heal, and to thrive at its highest capacity.
 

An avid student of kung fu, Dr. Patricia initially planned to work as a sports chiropractor. However, after hearing Dr. Jeanne Ohm, CEO of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), speak at a seminar, she knew without a doubt that her life's work would be specializing in Perinatal and Pediatric populations. Dr. Ohm's talk spoke so deeply to her, reminding her of her own traumatic birth experiences. As a result, she was inspired to help empower women to trust their bodies, shed their fears, and embrace their innate capacity to birth their babies naturally and with minimal interventions.
 

The chiropractic techniques in which Dr. Patricia has received training include Diversified, Drop, and Activator as well as more  tonal and light touch approaches such as Bio Geometric Integration (BGI) and craniosacral therapy. She is Webster Technique certified, a chiropractic analysis and adjustment that is utilized in prenatal care. She is also a Dynamic Body Balancing practitioner, which comprises cransiosacral therapy with myofascial unwinding that can be used on anyone including prenatal and pediatric practice members.
