About Elements of Being 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!Experiences in life (examples below)Physical/Earth Elemental Experiences: Exercise/sports or lack of exercise Repetitive movements (in our jobs or daily activities) How we hold our bodies (posture) Physical trauma (small or large) Sitting for long periods of time Child birth Chemical/Fire Elemental Experiences: Food we eat Environmental Toxins Medications/Suppliments Smoke/alcohol Household/jobsite cleaners Fluids we drinkEmotional/Water Elemental Experiences: Happiness/joy Worry/fear Sadness Anger Love Mental/Air Elemental Experiences: Thinking about the past Contemplating the future Constant 'mind chatter' Lack of 'being present' Daydreaming Spiritual/Ether Elemental Experiences: Feeling connetced to our bodies Feeling connecte to other people Feeling connceted to nature/earth Feeling connected to a higher power We experience life in our own unique way, and each of us presents with unique life and health challenges.

Bio Geometric Integration
Pre and Post Natal Care
Kids
Adults

Bio Geometric Integration 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. Each person is cared for individually, and therefore each care plan is individual using a combination of light touch, traditional structural adjustments, cranial work and breath work. 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 IntegrationFor more information about BGI, visit: www.bgiseminars.com

Pre and Post Natal Care 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.For more information on Chiropractic care during pregnancy, visit: www.icpa4kids.org

Kids 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!For more information on Kids and Chiropractic, Visit: www.icpa4kids.org/Wellness-Research

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!C.C. Chernev
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.Marianne & Tom OConnell
