MARKETING AND PATIENT SERVICES
Erica
Born and raised in California, until I took a risk and moved to Portland. I’ve always had a passion for all things health and wellness. I love helping people feel their best and take pride in creating a welcoming environment at the front desk while handling the marketing and other front desk duties. Seeing clients happy after their treatments truly makes my day. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me spending quality time with my daughters, working out, listening to music or audiobooks, watching a good show, and enjoying great food with the people I love.
