Your perception creates your reality.
We can’t always control what happens around us — but we can control how we interpret and respond to it.
When you shift your mindset, you shift your experience.

Movement is medicine — and chiropractic care helps your body move the way it was designed to.
When your spine and joints move freely, exercise becomes easier, recovery happens faster, and your body stays resilient.

Whether you’re walking, lifting, or just trying to keep up with daily life — staying active and getting adjusted regularly keeps your body aligned, balanced, and strong.

Do you really have to keep seeing a chiropractor forever?

That’s one of the biggest myths out there — and it’s simply not true.
You don’t have to keep going… but many people want to. Why? Because they feel better when they do!

Chiropractic care helps your body move, function, and heal the way it’s meant to. Once people experience that improvement — less pain, better posture, more energy — they often choose to keep it part of their wellness routine.

At Optimal Health, care is always on your terms.

There’s no single definition of “normal.”
Every mind, every body, and every journey is unique — and that’s what makes each of us extraordinary.

🌍💙 World Mental Health Day – October 10, 2025 💙🌍

Today we honor World Mental Health Day, a reminder that there is no health without mental health.
This year’s global theme focuses on the urgent need to support the mental health and psychosocial needs of people affected by humanitarian emergencies.

Crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, and public health emergencies cause significant emotional distress — with one in five individuals experiencing a mental health condition. Supporting mental well-being during these times doesn’t just heal individuals — it saves lives, strengthens communities, and builds resilience.

At Optimal Health Mind Body Wellness Center, we stand for compassion, connection, and care. Together — as healthcare providers, educators, and community members — we can ensure everyone has access to the support they need to heal, recover, and thrive. 💚

Let’s continue to build a world where mental health is valued, nurtured, and protected for all.

🌟 Meet Alessandra Keene, LMHC 🌟
Alessandra is a licensed therapist who works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. With a compassionate, approachable style, she integrates CBT, trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness to help clients uncover their resilience and create lasting change. 💙

✨ Wellness Tip from Alessandra:
Find calm during the day, even if only for 5 to 10 seconds. Take a moment to breathe — especially when you feel anxious or can’t gather your thoughts. 🌿

Outside of the therapy room, Alessandra enjoys adventurous activities with her daughter, heavy lifting, tae bo, reading, and spending time with her pets. 🏋️‍♀️📚🐾

Meet Dan Shea
Dan is a dedicated therapist who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and life transitions. With an eclectic, person-centered approach, he focuses on truly listening and helping clients feel understood while guiding them to find clarity, resilience, and new perspectives. 💡✨

✨ Wellness Tip from Dan:
Practice the concept of “meditation in action.” When navigating a moment that feels mundane, lean into the task at hand rather than distracting yourself with your phone, music, or thoughts. Bring full, nonjudgmental attention to whatever you’re doing—just walking when walking, just driving when driving, just washing the dishes when washing the dishes. 🌿

Outside of the therapy room, Dan loves spending time with his family, making music, playing games, and hanging out with his cats (when their busy schedule allows 🐾🎸).

✨ Wellness Tip from Dr. Jim ✨
