About Us

At Amelia Island Health and Wellness, we recognize that each person is "fearfully and wonderfully made"! (Psalm 139:14) Our multi-pronged approach looks beyond symptoms to understand root causes that can lead to chronic pain, headaches, low energy, sleeplessness, and a host of other problems. By combining gentle chiropractic adjustments, functional nutrition and applied kinesiology, as well as soft tissue therapies, we create personalized plans that support the body's own natural ability to heal, beginning at the cellular level.
