Every part of our being is connected. Likewise, we are connected to each other, to the earth, to the universe. Our environment (internal and external) directly affects us. We adapt, grow, heal, learn and evolve from the experiences in our life, or we store them in our bodies as patterns of tension, which inhibit our innate healing ability and potential.
Through Chiropractic care, stored tension from life experiences are released, and our natural healing power in the body can thrive. We become stronger, healthier, happier, and more in touch with who we really are. As a result, we can live and enjoy our lives to the fullest potential!

Physical/Earth Elemental Experiences:
Exercise/sports or lack of exercise
Repetitive movements (in our jobs or

Bio Geometric Integration (BGI) is a holistic and vitalistic approach to Chiropractic that views the body as an entire system. By understanding the innate geometry of the body, A Chiropractor who uses the concepts of BGI is able to more effectively and gently release subluxation patterns in the body.
Dr. Kacie has been studying BGI since 2006 and is honored and inspired to be practicing Chiropractic through these concepts.
The art of Chiropractic is much more than an application of a technique or an introduction of a force. It is a melding of substance and being; of technical precision and heart centered connection.
-Sue Brown, D.C. , founder and developer of Bio Geometric Integration

We integrate our experiences in life through our senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell). For the most part, we are able to process sensory information in a meaningful way. If there is an imbalance in our sensory processing, it can lead to sensory integration challenges.
Examples individuals who have sensory integration challenges include Autism Spectrum, ADHD, coordination issues, learning challenges, social challenges, and bipolar disorder.
Since the sensory system is one of the most important parts of the Nervous System, specialized Chiropractic care can bring ease and increased function for individuals who have sensory integration challenges.
Chiropractic care combined with sensory system retraining allows for a very effective and holistic way to greater overall function and expression for individuals who may have challenges in sensory processing.
Typical results of this specialized Chiropractic care include:
•Increased learning ability and retention
•Improvements in social interaction and the ability to connect
•Increased ability to concentrate
•Increased ability to be present
•Increased body awareness and coordination
•Increased ability to deal with life experiences, so they are not so overwhelming, thus decreased stress levels
•Increased sensory system processing and integration
•Increased overall quality of life!
The following was adapted from the writings of Jeanne Ohm D.C., founder of the Intenational Chiropractic Pediatrics Association (ICPA):
During the prenatal period, a womans body goes through many changes. Many women experience discomfort and pain during this amazing time. Shifts in the body due to the growth of the baby can lead to increased stress and imbalance in the pelvis and spine and create dysfunction and difficulties in performing daily activities and routines due to discomfort. These imbalances can likewise lead to interference in Nervous System function and thus inhibit how information is being communicated in the body. Specific and gentle adjustments restores balance to the spine, pelvis and Nervous System leading to a greater and more comfortable experience through pregnancy.
As imbalance occurs in the mothers pelvis and spine, it likewise creates imbalance and constraint to the uterus. The uterus is attached to the pelvic bowl by supporting ligaments. When the pelvis is imbalanced, it creates tension on the uterine ligaments and thus limits freedom of movement for the baby in utero. This can limit optimal development, and conditions such as torticollis can occur as the baby becomes cramped within the uterus.
If imbalance continues as the birthing process approaches, it can prevent the baby from moving into the best possible position for birth. Even if the baby is in a position that is slightly off from optimal, it can slow down labor and create more strain, pain, and stress to both the mom and baby during birth.
Getting Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can restore and maintain balance throughout the spine, pelvis and supporting ligaments and therefore lead to an easier delivery for mom and baby. Additionally, the Chiropractic Adjustment removes interference to Nervous System function, which allows the uterus to function optimally during the birthing process.

True health care and prevention should begin as early as possible in life, and Chiropractic care offers a foundation for a lifetime of health and vitality.
Maintaining an open and freely functioning Nervous System is crucial during the developmental years. Just like adults, babies and kids have experiences in life that can create stored tension and inhibit how the body is communicating. If that tension is not addressed, other problems can arise later in life.
The Nervous System controls all other processes in the body from growth, learning, development, digestion, respiration, immune function and the ability to fight off colds and other childhood illnesses.
Parents are beginning to have concerns about the adverse effects that prescription and over the counter drugs have on their children. As a result, they are actively seeking out natural and honoring alternatives, and Chiropractic care is one such option. Children function better if their Nervous System can get the needed messages to all organs, tissues, and cells in the body.
Children have not had as much life experience as adults, and as a result, they tend to respond very quickly to Chiropractic care. Adjustments to Children are gentle and honoring, as light touch and simple movements are enough to make big changes within their health and wellbeing. The goal is to allow them to experience their childhood with as much vigor, health, and happiness as they can handle!

What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is about discovery, awareness, and choice.
Coaches help to empower people in finding their own answers to the questions in life.
A Coach is a support system and empowerment guide that holds the client accountable for goals, dreams, and desires through core value search, envisioning assignments, and life purpose discovery.
Inspiring questions are asked to facilitate the client in
creating a unique vision of what they want their life

As parents of Carlos Adolfo Urrutia-Chavez, we are moved to write this letter of appreciation for the profound changes and improvement you have made in our autistic sons life as the result of your professional therapy, your patience and your kindness to hi. We are expressing our genuine thanks for your therapy. Carlos is much happier as the result of his ongoing visits with you. He is more attentive and he follows our directions more quickly, exhibiting much greater interest in what he is asked to do. We feel great relief, knowing that our 10-year old is making consistent progress as the result of your therapy. He interacts better with us and he is much calmer, more relaxed, and more interested in learning new things.
We both see the improvement in his behavior and we are writing this letter as a gesture of appreciation for your talent, your knowledge, therapeutic experience and kindness to our child. We hope that anyone who might read it will know that as parents of an autistic child we are grateful to you for everything that you have done with him.
We are happy and delighted to be able to continue our sons therapy visits with you.
Sincerely yours,
Laura and Carlos Urrutia

Dr. Kacie Flegal offers a truly warm, supportive, caring environment for her patients. Her knowledge and understanding of the many factors that affect her patients overall health make her an ideal practitioner. Her adjustments focus on more than just the movement of the spine. She also incorporates breathing, relaxation, stretching, and releasing of trapped energies into her treatments. Id been seeing my previous chiropractor for close to 30 years. It took Dr. Flegal, with all of her warmth, compassion and skill to make me feel safe in trusting her to take over my chiropractic care. Im so glad I did!

Kacie Flegal has been taking care of my body for almost 10 years. I first met Kacie when she was working at Nautilus Fitness as a personal trainer specializing in stretching clients bodies. I followed her to Bay Club Marin and saw her twice a week for several years. Her stretching and natural instincts with regard to body care have always been outstanding. During her time at Chiropractor school she visited our house and stretched my husband, Tom and myself. After graduating from school and receiving her license Kacie added adjustments to our stretching routine. Not only is she a wizard at body care she is a delightful and fun person. Anyone lucky enough to have Kacie in his or her life will learn what a blessing it is.
