About Kristin Wright
DC When
people ask me how I came to the decision to become a chiropractor,
I reflect on the natural abilities that help me in my work.
My father and brother were both Boeing engineers. For generations, my mother's side of the family included doctors and nurses. My understanding
of medicine, and my talent for feeling the “movement within
the movement,” have served me well.
After earning a degree in
psychology, working in social services, and studying deep tissue
massage, I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic West in Sunnyvale,
California. I graduated in 1983 and moved to Seattle. After
two internships, I started my own clinic in Capitol Hill in
May of 1985.
Chiropractic has evolved
over the past 24 years, due to a renaissance of new ideas in
physical medicine. In the 1990s I studied craniosacral therapy
with the Upledger Institute and with French osteopath Alain
Gehin.
As I learned to feel more
and more subtle movement, a whole new world opened up for me.
I felt like I was seeing in color for the first time!
My continuing education
has also included chiropractic orthopedics, neurobiology, and
pediatrics. In 2007 I completed the University of Washington
Certificate Program in Psychological Trauma. These courses have
greatly expanded my ability to help people feel better and stay
healthy.
I am married with two sons
and live nearby in Madrona.
