About Us

Hey there! I’m Dr. Desirae, aka Dr. Dez. I was born and raised in Lodi, and I’m so proud to be back in my hometown helping people improve their quality of life through chiropractic. 

I earned my Bachelor's in Kinesiology from California State University, Monterey Bay and went on to graduate from Life Chiropractic College West where I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree. I’ve been around sports my whole life—competing in gymnastics, volleyball, and track and field throughout the years. That background taught me a lot about pushing limits, recovering from injuries, and how important it is to take care of your body. My love for sports is also what led me to  become a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner®. 

When I’m not in the office, I’m staying active myself—whether it’s hiking, running, or playing volleyball. I also love spending time with my dog, Buddy, sitting on the beach, laughing with my family, or taking a nap.

My goal is to make your visit feel personal and effective—whether you’re recovering from an injury, looking to elevate your athletic performance, or just trying to get through life with less pain and more energy. I can’t wait to meet you and help you feel your best!
