Care that moves at the pace of trust- encouraging balance with compassion, choice, and deep listening.

Dr. Chapman has coined the term “Slow Medicine” to describe her approach to Osteopathic care. 

It is a partnership built on presence and the building of trust.

It’s a gentle dance between deep clinical expertise and intuitive listening in a safe, unhurried setting

It creates space for your body’s wisdom, as expressed through you, to guide the healing process. 

Personalized Care

  • Through gentle, skilled touch, osteopathic treatment restores alignment, eases tension, and supports a balanced, calm nervous system enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

  • Functional Medicine is a system of diagnosis and treatment that looks at the interplay between genetics, environment and lifestyle and how these determine a state of health.  Specific diagnostic tests and protocols are available in FM, but its principles are also available with less testing if that’s preferred.

  • Dr. Chapman is passionate about advancing a grounded straightforward approach to hormone balance in women of all ages. This includes nutrition and lifestyle factors, as well as a practical approach to hormone therapy to support your journey toward restoring a sense of balance and vitality. Using all of her skills including the toolbox of hormones available, she will partner with you in a personalized manner to navigate the steps toward better hormone balance.

  • Dr. Chapman has studied Narrative Medicine approaches with Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD, PhD. He is a North American Indigenous Physician and healer who has integrated aspects of Lakota and Cherokee healing with Western medicine. We engage in conversation with the body using bodywork, imagery, metaphor and spirituality to shape new stories that better support our health, hopes and goals for our lives. 

  • We use our bodies to communicate long before we use words. When our bodies experience overwhelming events, at times they are difficult to speak about and therefore difficult to access or metabolize with talk therapy alone.

    Moving together can evoke ways to slowly and safely access levels of experience previously hidden. In this way space and confidence may arrive with which to tend these wounds. Dr. Chapman has trained in movement as an expression for 50 years. Yoga has been a daily healing practice for her personally for 30 years. She is a yoga teacher with a 200hr certification and complimentary training in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga TM.  Explore the language of the body and movement as a guide to heal difficult-to-overcome experiences you are holding.
