Dr. Mandy Chan lives by three guiding principles: live with passion, give with love, and serve with purpose.

A lifelong athlete turned chiropractor, Dr. Mandy’s own experiences with sports injuries sparked a deep curiosity about the body’s innate capacity to heal, adapt, and thrive. That curiosity led her to Life Chiropractic College West, where she immersed herself in chiropractic philosophy, technique, and hands-on learning, often spending weekends at seminars and school breaks on service trips supporting underserved communities.

Today, Dr. Mandy takes a heart-centered, whole-person approach to chiropractic care. She blends chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue techniques, nervous system-focused work, and energetic approaches to help people reconnect with their bodies and cultivate greater resilience, awareness, and ease. She is certified in the Webster Technique and has trained in a diverse range of chiropractic and bodywork systems, including Kairos Training Culture, Tao of Chiropractic, Biogeometric Integration, craniosacral therapy, extremity care, and instrument-assisted techniques.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way for every body to heal. Rather than forcing the body into a predetermined model, she meets each person where they are, combining clinical knowledge, curiosity, intuition, and presence to create care that is both thoughtful and individualized.

Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find Dr. Mandy hiking or camping in nature with her partner, getting a workout in, or hanging out at home with her two cats. An avid Ultimate Frisbee player, she has served as Team Doctor for top Ultimate teams and continues to coach, play, and stay deeply connected to the community.

Whether she’s working with families, professionals, or athletes, Dr. Mandy brings playful energy, deep presence, and a genuine passion for creating a space where people feel safe to explore, learn, and reconnect with themselves. Her goal is not simply to help people feel better, but to help them better understand and trust their own bodies/capacity to heal.

Kerrie first became interested in bodywork after a car accident left her experiencing chronic pain and tension in her late teens. She enrolled at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon in 2019 and became licensed to practice massage therapy in the state of Oregon in 2021. After a decade in Portland, Kerrie became a certified massage therapist in California and returned to her hometown of Oakland to continue her practice and spend time with family.

Kerrie considers her massage practice to be vocational and prioritizes nervous system regulation with the intention of reducing both anxiety and physical discomfort. She values autonomy, informed consent, and patient input and favors myofascial work as well as Swedish and deep tissue techniques.
