Elizabeth was born in Chula Vista California, and came to Oregon when she was 8yrs old. She enjoys spending time with her family as much as she can. Elizabeth graduated from Carrington College in 2021 studying Massage Therapy. Choosing this particular career challenged her to see life in a different perspective. She comes from a culture that takes massage as a luxurious want, rather than looking at it as a health need. She learned that, in order to heal the body, we need to learn how to listen to our own body and care for it. She enjoys this career for a lot of reasons, but her most rewarding thing about what she does is helping others achieve their health goals.  She enjoys working side by side with the patients during their health and well-being journey, but mostly enjoys helping them get their voice heard. 

She performs focused work, going with what the body says at that moment, and best of all , de-stressing the body by performing some cranial sacral work.

Dr. Adam Hernandez graduated from Logan University in 2019 with a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and Linfield College in 2016 with a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry. Growing up in Maui, his life was filled with movement and activity day to day. Hiking around the island, playing tennis, or skating, he was often out and about with the other keiki (children) on the island. His curiosity and fascination with human anatomy began after a skateboarding accident and he found himself questioning his understanding of the human body along with its healing capabilities. While attending college, he shadowed a chiropractor helping out at a local free clinic and witnessed amazing improvements from her patients. Since then, he decided to embark on his chiropractic journey.

Today, he practices using evidence-based diagnostic guidelines to assess musculoskeletal injuries of the body. Using specific and controlled chiropractic adjustments, vibration therapy, and progressive rehabilitative exercises to reinforce the body’s own stability or mobility, he is able to help patients feel better and stay better. In his off time, he enjoys exploring and hiking the pacific NW with his cattle dog Betsy, being engaged in flow arts and movement-based practices, and testing out the many different tea houses offered in Portland
