“My first chiropractic adjustment was 10 minutes after I was born and the Chiropractic Doctor who adjusted me was my father.“
I was born and raised with chiropractic in the house, as my father is a chiropractor. My passion and vocation for this profession have grown with me and are now an integral part of my life. From an early age I have seen and experienced first-hand the power of chiropractic, developing a deep desire to help others reach their maximum potential of health and harmony. For this reason I decided to dedicate my life to this profession.
Education
After graduating from high school, I moved to Bournemouth, UK, where I obtained a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic at the AECC College of Chiropractic (now Health Sciences University), graduating with honors. Following the achievement of the university degree, my specialization began, which I am still cultivating daily.
In choosing my training, I wanted to give priority to the two founding techniques of chiropractic as they are still extremely current and at the same time faithful to the principles of this art, science and philosophy: the Gonstead and Thompson techniques.
I obtained the Gonstead Method Introductory Course diploma of 7 seminars with the International Gonstead Academy, under the guidance of Doctor of Chiropractic Andrea Cecchi. This technique taught me the importance of chiropractic analysis, of a correct study of x-rays and of the specificity of chiropractic adjustments. Subsequently, I began studying the Thompson Minardi technique of 3 modules under the guidance of Doctor of Chiropractic John Minardi. The comfortable nature of this technique for the patient, pushed me to choose it as the main approach of my sessions. For this reason I continue to deepen my knowledge of this method until I achieve the official certification.
Specialization for mothers, newborns and children
One of the most rewarding aspects of my profession is working with newborns, children and mothers, including the gestational and postpartum period. I obtained specialized training by completing the Williams Paediatrics course under the guidance of Doctor of Chiropractic Steve Williams at the Academy of Functional Pediatrics (AFP), acquiring specific skills for pediatric patients, including corrections for plagiocephaly, neuro-behavioral disorders and support for traumatic pregnancies. Subsequently, I completed the NBO Method for Neonatal Observation course at the AOU Meyer in Florence, deepening the behavioral and neurological assessment of newborns. I continued training in collaboration with the Brazelton Centre UK, Boston Children’s Hospital and the Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital, acquiring advanced skills for the assessment and support of neonatal neurological development, including for high-risk children.
Philosophy, Mission and Vision
My mission is to change and improve the lives of as many people as possible through chiropractic, helping the community take back control of their health. I firmly believe that humanity is the basis of every professional relationship, which is why the focus of my work is the person, not just the symptom or disorder. I am committed to listening, understanding and supporting each patient on their journey towards health, offering personalized paths that aim not only to reduce pain, but also to optimize their vital functions.
I continue to study to update and increase my training as a Chiropractor, in order to help as many people as possible, offering them the tools to take care of their health in an active and conscious way.
I firmly believe that EVERYONE should rely on chiropractic as soon as possible for a better life. I would like chiropractic to support each individual from birth and to be available to everyone, everywhere, becoming an integral part of a healthy and conscious lifestyle.
I hope to be able to leave a mark in the lives of those who rely on me, just like my first Chiropractor did with me.
Chirosofia was born from the desire to share my experience and my love for chiropractic with the community. If you are looking for a natural and effective approach to improve your health or that of your family, contact me for an initial consultation.
