2025 CalChiro Board of Directors

Message From the President

As we step into 2025, I am filled with immense pride and optimism for the future of chiropractic care in California. It is an honor to serve as your President and to lead this incredible community of dedicated professionals who are passionate about transforming lives through the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic.

This year, my vision is clear: to elevate the chiropractic profession to new heights and to ensure that every chiropractor in our state feels empowered, supported, and confident in their practice. The CalChiro Association exists not just as an advocate but as a champion for our collective mission. We are here to remind you that you are never standing alone—you have the full weight of this association behind you, ready to support you every step of the way.

The demand for natural, effective, and patient-centered healthcare solutions has never been greater. Together, we can seize this moment to solidify chiropractic’s place as an essential part of holistic health and wellness. 

We will work tirelessly to ensure that chiropractors have a strong voice in Sacramento, protecting your right to practice, ensuring fair reimbursement, and advancing legislation supporting our profession’s growth.

From educational resources to networking opportunities, we will expand our programs to help you succeed in every facet of your practice. We will amplify the value of chiropractic care, ensuring more Californians understand the life-changing benefits we provide.

My enthusiasm for the future of chiropractic is unshakable, and I am inspired by each of you—your dedication, your innovation, and your unwavering commitment to improving the health of your patients. Together, we can build a thriving profession that not only transforms lives but also empowers us to stand tall, practice with pride, and make a lasting impact.

Let us embrace this year with excitement and determination. I am confident that 2025 will be a landmark year for chiropractic in California. Thank you for trusting me to lead this incredible association, and I look forward to collaborating with you to achieve our shared goals.
