Our bodies are designed to effectively deal with acute stress. It's how our ancestors survived. But sometimes - especially when stress becomes chronic - the body and brain get locked in a stress response. When this happens, we react as if the stress that first caused it is still occurring, even though it may be decades in our past.
This breathing exercise, which is easy for all ages to practice, can be performed in a variety of settings - home, work, or school. Breathing techniques common to mindfulness help relax the body and mind, while increasing its ability to focus. These exercises may be performed in our office during your Network Care session, or they may be given to you to do at home.

Warm and inviting, Dr. Karen is incredibly knowledgeable and gentle with her care. Since seeing her for the last 6 months, I've felt my posture improve, my mood be more consistently calm, and I'm more in-tune with what my body needs for me to have my best life. My 5 year olds also see Dr. Karen. I've been wanting a more natural way to support my kid's severe psoriasis and overall well-being. I've seen their skin clear up in areas, they're more aware of their emotions, which has made for great communication, and their sleep has significantly improved (sleeping in their

I've been going to Vitality Wellness Center for about six months and it's been an excellent experience. Dr. Karen and her team (shoutout to Larnie) are amazing people and it's a joy seeing them every week.
Most importantly, I've noticed significant positive changes in my personal and work life - notably, having more awareness in my body and emotions and feeling like I have more control over both.
I won't pretend and say I fully understand Dr. Karen's work, but I feel considerably better after each visit and my life has been improving as a whole so that's more than good enough for me!

Dr. Karen has been amazing for my sense of wellness! I came to her with a chronically stressed body with tension in my jaw, neck and shoulders, even in my belly. Through Network Spinal Care and strategies I’ve learned under Dr. Karen’s guidance, I am much better at recognizing where and when my body is tensed and I can move with more ease. I have also really enjoyed the breathing classes she has offered (Somato Respiratory Integration) and highly recommend coming here for an evaluation of how these strategies can help you with your chronic stress and pain. The office is warm and inviting and

I've been seeing Karen at Vitality Wellness Center since November 2019. I have nothing but great things to say about her and her practice! I no longer require medication to fall asleep at night, my neck and back pain have decreased, and my overall quality of life has improved immensely. I find myself with less anxiety, feeling safer in my own body and enjoying life with a more open mind. I continue to receive treatment from Karen even after 1 year because I love taking time to take care of myself and my body. The improvements I've made with posture in the last 14 months is incredible. Thanks Karen

Network Chiropractic has changed my life. I have received great care from Doctor Lumb. My body is much more relaxed, I have less anxiety and I can handle stress much better. The breathing techniques that she teaches have made a huge difference in my life. It is a tool that I can use at any time. I can use it to process stress that comes into my life, resulting in a relaxed body and peaceful mind. It comes in really handy when I can't sleep because my mind is racing. I simply do the breathing exercises and I go to sleep. I highly recommend Dr. Lumb and Network Chiropractic.

I have been seeing Dr. Karen Lumb for a couple months now, and have been presently surprised at the changes I have seen in my body since! I had a knee and back pain that had been persistent for a couple years that have almost completely diminished. I am able to move without worry, which I didn't even realize I was doing in my daily life. Pretty amazing!
Karen has a calming energy about her, a great touch, and I look forward to each visit. The office is clean and comfortable, and I love the music she plays. Really, I look forward to each session.

Dr. Karen is a gifted health professional! Her chiropractic techniques are cutting edge and have had more long term benefits for me than typical “pop and go” chiropractic care. She also brings an incredible calming warmth to her interaction with patients and amazing general health knowledge. I can’t recommend her enough!

A friend recommended I see Dr. Karen after a terrible car accident left me struggling with pain and mild PTSD. As someone long weary of chiropractors, I’m *so* thankful I decided to give Network Care a try. Within a few short weeks I was pain and anxiety free, and months later am continuing to experience positive improvement in daily life as my body releases decades of tension. It’s pretty amazing how such gentle touch/manipulation can elicit this impactful of a response in the body - Dr. Karen is a true healer!

Dr. Karen Lumb and Network Care have been an absolutely game-changer in my every day life. I suffer from migraines and occasional dizziness, and after my first session, there was an immediate improvement...I could turn my head without my head spinning! And over the past 3 months since I started seeing her, I haven't had a migraine. I can't think of a better way to describe how wonderful and effective Network Care has been other than it is MAGIC. My life has improved greatly, especially in terms of body awareness of what I need (workout, food, rest, etc) to function at my best. I've recommended

The expertise exhibited by Dr Karen at Vitality Wellness is unparalleled to any chiropractic I have had in the past. Gentle and very effective, once I started going I have never looked back! After 6 months of treatments I have been able to go off epilepsy medication, which has been amazing! Scientific evidence to support how great I feel with MRI and EEG scans that prove how amazing Dr Karen is. If have any ailment or have ever feel stressed, do yourself a favor and call!

Dr. Karen Lumb is a true healer. I have worked with her for around 11 months and it is something I am beyond happy that I have stayed dedicated to. I have seen improvement on many different levels. Network Care is something that has improved my self awareness, relaxed and connected myself to my body and even greatly lessened chronic pain that I have had for 10 years. Dr. Karen has made many useful recommendations while working with her that have helped me with migraines and pain flare ups (my two biggest problems). The overall quality of my life has improved substantially with Network Care. Thank

I've seen a number of NSA practitioners over the years and I would consider Karen to be one of the best! She is gentle, kind, wise and incredibly skilled at what she does. NSA has allowed my body to access it's own healing strategies and I have experienced miracles as a result. In addition, Karen offers workshops where she teaches you how to support yourself and the healing process between sessions. My boyfriend also started seeing her (and has also attended a few of her workshops) and he is experiencing shifts already! I highly recommend Karen...she is top notch!
