At GFC Wellness Center, holistic chiropractic care goes far beyond just spinal adjustments. It's a full-body, nervous system–led approach that looks at the deeper stressors affecting your health — not just where it hurts.

 

Holistic chiropractors like Dr. Josh are trained well beyond traditional chiropractic education, with advanced knowledge in structural, biochemical, and emotional imbalances. This allows us to support the entire person, not just treat symptoms.

​

What makes this approach unique is that we look at the three major stressors that impact healing:

​

• Physical (misalignments, injuries, postural strain)

• Chemical (toxins, poor nutrition, gut health)

• Emotional (stress, trauma, nervous system dysregulation)

​

Instead of focusing on one piece of the puzzle, we address all three — so your body can restore balance and heal the way it was designed to.

Your skull may seem solid, but it’s actually made up of 22 distinct bones, connected by sutures that are designed to have subtle movement. These joints are rich in blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue — and when alignment is off, it can affect how your brain and body function.

​

Misalignments in the skull can create increased intracranial pressure, disrupting the flow of oxygen, nutrients, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the brain. This often contributes to symptoms like brain fog, headaches, sinus issues, fatigue, and nervous system dysregulation — especially after physical or emotional trauma.

​

At GFC Wellness Center, we use cranial movement therapy to gently restore balance in the bones of the head and face. Through light, precise pressure (using hands or specialized instruments), we support your brain, your nervous system, and your body’s ability to heal from the inside out.

Because babies can’t tell you what hurts — but their body can.

 

During birth, your baby’s skull is designed to shift and mold to move safely through the birth canal. The bones of the head are soft, mobile, and beautifully created to adapt under pressure. But sometimes, those bones don’t return to optimal alignment — especially after a long, fast, or complicated birth.

​

Even subtle misalignments in the cranial bones can affect how your baby sleeps, feeds, digests, and develops. That’s because the skull protects the brain and supports many of the nerves responsible for digestion, regulation, and sensory processing.

​

Your baby might not be able to speak yet — but they may be showing you something is off through:

​

• Colic, reflux, or gassiness

• Facial asymmetry or flat spots (plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, scaphocephaly)

• Torticollis or head favoring

• Frequent ear infections

• Unexplained crying or irritability

• Trouble latching, sleeping, or settling

 

Gentle cranial adjustments help restore alignment and improve communication between the brain and body. Our care is safe, soothing, and led by a deep understanding of the developing nervous system.

You know your baby best — if something feels off, we’re here to help you get to the root.

At GFC Wellness Center, we believe true healing happens when you’re seen as a whole person — not just a list of symptoms. Dr. Vanessa takes time to deeply listen to your story and understand how nutrition, environment, emotional stress, toxins, and lifestyle all work together to impact your health.

​

Her root cause approach goes beyond quick fixes and “everything looks fine” answers. She works with you to uncover deeper contributors like mold and mycotoxin exposure, parasites, chronic infections, heavy metal and chemical toxicity, and hidden stress patterns. These often underlie symptoms like fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmunity, anxiety, acne, hormone imbalances, and more.

​

If you’re ready to stop chasing symptoms and finally understand what’s driving your health challenges, Dr. Vanessa will guide you with compassion and clarity. Every care plan is completely customized, supporting your body, mind, and spirit with real answers — and a path forward.

Personalized nutrition to support your body, your lifestyle, and your healing path.

​

Root Cause Nutrition goes beyond meal plans and fad diets. This is whole-person nutritional counseling rooted in functional, holistic care — helping you understand how food, lifestyle, and targeted supplements impact your energy, digestion, mood, and long-term wellness.

​

Wouldn’t it feel amazing to finally know:

• Which foods are inflaming your system?

• Which nutrients your body is missing (and why)?

• What supplements would actually make a difference?

 

This is where our Root Cause Nutrition Program comes in. You’ll receive personalized, ongoing guidance — not one-size-fits-all advice — so you can confidently support your body with real, sustainable changes.

​

What to Expect:

✨ A Personalized Plan — Tailored nutrition based on your unique concerns, goals, and body
✨ Hands-On Support — Routine check-ins, encouragement, and practical accountability
✨ Time & Space to Heal — Because deep healing takes consistency, not quick fixes

 

What’s not included:

✘ Lab testing or interpretation
✘ Instant results without effort
✘ Cookie-cutter protocols

 

This program is for you if you’re ready to be empowered, supported, and guided — not rushed, overwhelmed, or dismissed.

A powerful technique for those who’ve tried everything and still don’t feel well.

​

Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is a specialized cranial technique designed to restore motion and alignment to the bones of the head — especially the sphenoid bone, a key player in neurological and structural health.

​

This gentle yet powerful technique involves inserting a small balloon into the nasal passage and quickly inflating it to unlock cranial fixations. It’s a fast process (just 2–3 seconds) and feels similar to the sensation of water going up your nose — strange, but brief. Most patients undergo a series of 6–10 sessions for optimal results.

​

The goal of CFR isn’t to treat one specific condition, but rather to:

​

• Improve cranial bone mobility

• Open sinus and breathing pathways

• Enhance cerebrospinal fluid flow

• Support vascular and lymphatic drainage

• Optimize brain and nervous system function

 

Patients who seek CFR have often been through countless treatments, specialists, and medications — and still don’t feel like themselves. This technique offers a non-drug, non-surgical path forward, especially for those navigating:

​

• Post-concussion symptoms

• Head trauma

• Chronic sinus congestion

• TMJ dysfunction

• Sleep issues

• Neurological concerns

• Emotional dysregulation

 

If you’re feeling stuck and ready for a different approach, CFR may be the breakthrough your body has been waiting for.

A deeper look at what your body is trying to tell you.

​

At GFC Wellness Center, Qest4 bioenergetic testing gives us a non-invasive way to “listen” to your body’s energy systems and stress patterns — so we’re not just guessing which foods, toxins, or stressors might be contributing to your symptoms. It’s a powerful complement to Root Cause + Lifestyle Medicine and holistic chiropractic care, helping us see more of the picture without more pokes, prods, or invasive testing.

​

During a Qest4 session, you’ll simply hold gentle hand electrodes while the system sends thousands of subtle digital signatures through the body and measures your response. In just a few minutes, we can see where your body may be under stress and which areas are asking for support — structurally, nutritionally, and energetically. The scan is painless, safe for all ages, and many patients find it surprisingly relaxing.

​

Qest4 can help us identify energetic patterns related to things like:

​

• Nutritional stress and possible deficiencies

• Gut health and digestive stress

• Environmental and chemical sensitivities

• Microbial and toxin burdens

• Hormone and adrenal stress patterns

• Emotional and nervous system imbalances

• ​

Instead of chasing symptoms, we use your Qest4 results to prioritize what your body needs most right now. That may include targeted nutrition, strategic supplementation, drainage and detox support, nervous system care, or other therapies we offer in the office — all designed to work with your body, not against it.

​

What to expect:

​

1. Root-cause conversation – We begin by listening to your story, symptoms, and goals so we understand what your body has been navigating.

2. Qest4 scan – You’ll simply sit comfortably while we run your bioenergetic test (no needles, no bloodwork, completely non-invasive).

3. Personalized report delivered to your inbox – After your session, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining your scan findings, energetic stress patterns, and personalized recommendations. This report gives you clear next steps without feeling overwhelmed, and you can review it at your own pace.

​

Qest4 does not diagnose or treat disease and does not replace medical care. Instead, it offers a snapshot of your energetic health — giving us another lens to understand why you don’t feel like yourself and how we can best support your body’s natural ability to heal.

 

If you’re ready to stop guessing and get more clarity around what’s driving your health challenges, Qest4 bioenergetic testing may be a beautiful next step on your healing journey here in McCandless.
