Bright Life, Caroline Peterson, DC, PhD, MPH

We are like little plants, our health influenced by internal and external factors. We start like teeny seeds inside our mama's tummy, and continue budding and growing in response to our internal and external environment as babies, toddlers, teens, through our reproductive years, and still into our mature years. The French say the qualities of wine are determined by the terroir - or landscape - in which it is embedded. It is the same for us - throughout all our life stages. When our terroir is not enriched with blossoms of physical and mental stimulation, fun and relaxation, lovely relationship support, nutritious food, healthy water, air, and sleep we will not be able to experience an easeful life.

Dr. Caroline Peterson, DC, PhD, MPH, is dedicated to helping you achieve your health goals. She combines functional medicine and manual medicine to support you in all phases of life. Dr. Peterson is passionate about providing holistic care, focusing on the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. She uses various techniques including visceral manipulation, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and chiropractic to address a range of health issues.

Our Mission and Model of Care

At Dr. Caroline Peterson's practice, we believe that health is not just the absence of disease but the presence of well-being. We aim to create a supportive environment where you can heal and grow. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care that integrates the best of conventional and alternative therapies.

Dr. Peterson's model of care is based on the principles of functional medicine. This approach considers the unique genetic and environmental factors that influence your health. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of your symptoms, rather than just treating the symptoms themselves.
