Dr. Gary came to chiropractic from the other side of the healthcare paradigm. He was a biotech engineer sitting at a computer for eight hours a day in an industry he didn’t believe in, and somewhere along the way he started questioning the world he’d grown up in. Sudafed for every cold, Tylenol for every ache, a pill for everything, and nobody really asking why. He knew there had to be another way. He’d already had a few rounds of chiropractic care for snowboarding and old sports injuries, and the philosophy of it, that the body is intelligent and self-healing and you can put a specific force into a complex system and create real change, lit him up. He quit his job at 29, packed up his life, and walked into Life Chiropractic College West knowing he’d found his work.

Today, Dr. Gary’s hands are his craft, and he sees each adjustment as a way of removing the interference patterns that have built up in someone’s nervous system over years of stress, posture, injury, and life lived hard. His belief is that the body is brilliantly designed to heal itself when given the right inputs, and his role is to deliver those inputs precisely, so the body can do what it already knows how to do. He focuses his continuing education with the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) and works with the whole family, with a particular love for the perinatal journey and the wild, fast-moving years of toddlerhood. He and Navit have two kids of their own, so this is the season of life he lives in too, and he brings that lived experience into every visit with a family.

Alongside this, he loves working with adults who are ready to get back to feeling fully alive in their bodies, whether that’s backpacking, snowboarding, lifting, gardening, or just being able to sit on the floor with their kids without their lower back protesting. Chiropractic, in his view, is one piece of a bigger picture, and he teaches his practice members the basics that make the rest of life work: whole foods, real movement, breath, sleep, meditation, healthy relationships, and the pursuit of the things you actually love. Chiropractic, as he puts it, is a way of life.

Dr. Gary graduated Magna Cum Laude from Life Chiropractic College West, is a certified Webster Technique practitioner, and is a certified yoga instructor. He attends multiple adjusting and chiropractic seminars every year to keep deepening his craft, and his conviction that this work should be available to everyone fuels his ongoing service trips and his work with The Evolvlove Project, the nonprofit he and Navit founded to bring chiropractic to communities who can’t otherwise access it.

When he isn’t in the practice, you’ll find him outside with his family, backpacking, snowboarding, gardening, cooking, and chasing his two energetic kiddos around. He’ll tell you that the most important thing in life is to participate in what you’re passionate about, in your work, your family, your recreation, or all of it at once, and that his job is one of the most integral parts of his own well-balanced, vibrant life.

Dr. Navit came to chiropractic the way many of her practice members do, from a body that wasn’t working the way she wanted it to. After various injuries from years of competitive dance, gymnastics, and snowboarding, a debilitating low back injury in 2010 took her out completely, and for a long stretch she wasn’t sure she’d ever move freely again. Her first chiropractic visit changed the entire course of her life. Between regular adjustments, an anti-inflammatory way of eating, and yoga as therapy, she watched her body do what she’d been told it couldn’t and then perform better than it ever had before. From that moment on she knew this was a powerful combination she had to share with as many people as she could get her hands on.

Today, Dr. Navit specializes in pregnancy, postpartum, newborn, and toddler care, and it’s the work she feels most called to. There’s something sacred about holding space for a mama through her first trimester all the way through birth and supporting her in the creation of the birth experience she wants, helping a breech baby find room to turn, easing a brand-new postpartum body back into remembering itself, and meeting the tiniest nervous systems and supporting them as they wake up to the world. She and Dr. Gary have two young kids of their own, so she knows this season from the inside, the exhaustion and the wonder and the way the body is asking for so much all at once, and she brings that lived understanding into every visit with a mama or little one, helping them to stay resourced and nurtured.

Alongside this, she loves working with adults who have lost their strength and stability in their body and are ready to get back to the things they love, whether that’s hiking, skiing, climbing, biking, lifting, running, sleeping through the night, or picking up their kids without bracing for it. Her belief is that the body is brilliantly designed to heal itself, and her role as a chiropractor is to remove the interference that’s getting in the way, so the body’s own intelligence can do what it already knows how to do.

More than anything, Dr. Navit sees her work as guiding people back to themselves, helping them remember how to listen to their own intuition, to the signals their body is already sending, and to regulate their nervous system with more ease. From that place of remembering, the body has more capacity to hold more life, more vitality, more presence, and more of what each person is actually here for.

Dr. Navit earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic, Magna Cum Laude, from Life Chiropractic College West, and she is a certified Webster Technique practitioner with ongoing continuing education through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association). She has also been teaching yoga for over a decade in Baptiste-style power vinyasa, alignment, and yoga as therapy, and in 2013 she spent eight months in India studying yoga, meditation, and Ayurvedic nutrition, sitting alongside local healers and learning from their craft. Growing up in a family that turned toward food, herbs, and natural medicine first planted all of this in her long before she had the words for it, and it still shapes the way she shows up in the practice room today.

When she’s not at Evol.v, you’ll find her outside with her family, hiking, backpacking, snowboarding, cooking, gardening, dancing, reading, and planning the next adventure.
