Dr. Danielle Gonzales, D.C. is from Sonoma County, CA and spent the first half of her career studying medicine as a clinical laboratory scientist. In that environment, it quickly became apparent how disconnected western medicine was from the mental, spiritual and emotional aspects of health.
Her journey from disease management to wellness enthusiast began with a life-changing self-healing through nutrition and yoga, followed by an unexpected experience with an energy medicine called Reiki; of which she is also certified. Chiropractic was the final piece to the puzzle. She, like many people, had no idea chiropractic had the ability to create ease and vitality in a person's system with the gentlest of forces.
Dr. Danielle received her undergraduate degree at UC Santa Cruz, did her clinical work at UC San Diego and graduated as Valedictorian of her class from Life Chiropractic College West. She strives to be the healer that empowers her clients to connect with their bodies, their lives and their health in an honoring, respectful and loving way.
She lives in Portland with her husband, her daughter Evie, and their dog Gus.
