Her warm, gentle touch is extremely effective for putting those she works with at ease. Knowing that the body is comprised of an intricate web of physical and energetic patterns, Kenda helps people tap into these complex layers to release tension so that they may live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Chiropractic was founded on the philosophy that the body has an inborn ability to heal itself and stay healthy even when under stress. When we become overwhelmed by stress, our threshold for coping is lowered and we begin to store residual tension in our bodies.
The purpose of the chiropractic adjustment is to discover where this tension is holding on, and to help you release it, thereby allowing you to gain greater adaptability and ease in your body, mind, and spirit.A wonderful side effect of having greater ease in our bodies is that often pain and discomfort will be dramatically decreased.

Dr. Kenda and Dr. Armene provide comprehensive specialty care for women in any stage of pregnancy. From week 1 to 42, women find that getting adjusted can not only relieve many of the aches and pains involved in pregnancy, but also create shorter and easier labors and births, as well as a more comfortable post partum experience.

Kenda is the best! I recommend her to anyone pregnant. Went to see her about 6-8 times Brigitte each of my sons were born. They are fully set up and ready to greet the pregnant people. Parking is easy, welcoming office, like that you take off your shoes before entering space. Love the cloth/ washable / reusable face clothes. Eco friendly bathroom set up. Lots of nice art touches throughout the space.

I have been seeing Armene on an almost weekly basis for at least the past six years. She is absolutely the most nurturing and empathetic person I know. And she is an outstanding chiropractor! I started seeing Armene during my second pregnancy and she helped me through the challenges of having a stubborn breech baby. She has these amazing pillows that allow you to be on your stomach during your pregnancy. (If you have been pregnant, you totally understand what a treat this is!) After my delivery, Armene adjusted my newborn, who was having some difficulty with latching. I also have some other chronic

Armene is fantastic! I saw her throughout the second and third trimesters of my pregnancy and it was a gamechanger. She helped my body deal better with general aches and pains along with preparing for labor. She's a knowledgeable, kind, and patient healer who I highly recommend. Additionally, her space is incredibly parent-friendly and it's wonderful to see babies and children genuinely welcome at this office.

Armene is kind, warm, and awesome. She's probably the best chiropractor I've seen--I have an old injury, a slipped disk, and it flares up every once in a while. When I first saw her, I couldn't stand straight and was in a lot of pain. After one visit, I felt so much relief and could actually stand straight! I now see her for maintenance and for help with my migraines.
I also love the vibe of their practice: communal, earthy and earth-conscious, and unpretentious. So happy my acupuncturist referred them to me!

Armere is incredible! I was referred to her by a very insightful friend and am forever thankful. I have had various back problems most of my adult life, and Armene has been able to help me feel better and function as one should. She has the most wonderful and kind approach, really feeling for what is happening with your whole body before addressing the "problem" area. I love how she directs me to breathe, which sometimes I forget to. Thank you Armene for always making me feel better!

Kenda was amazing in every way and Alena was SO accommodating to my scheduling complications. My son (8 months) and I both got adjusted and left there very happy and relaxed. From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of. Kenda helped me bring my stroller and son up the stairs and greeted my toddler so warmly. Her presence was calming and welcoming. She followed my son as he crawled around and she did the adjustment without him even knowing. Thank you Awaken, we will return soon!

Holy. Cow. Amazing.
I'm 8m pregnant, & thought I was doing pretty darn well! I wasn't experiencing any lasting back pain (it would come & go here & there, but nothing that persisted). I just went in to see these lovely ladies because of a foot pain I'd had prior to getting pregnant, which was just getting more agitated with the weight of the pregnancy.
I saw Kendra, & let me tell you, she has some magical healing hands. She found all these spots where I was tight & tensely holding my body in these fixed positions that I didn't even realize I had!

I visited Awaken Chiropractic twice during my final week of an overdue pregnancy. They are extremely welcoming to women and had all sorts of pillows and cushions to make me comfortable on the table. They were able to get me in very quickly and clearly were very comfortable working with pregnant women. I wish that I had gone earlier in my pregnancy.
I visited again 4 weeks post partum. I had hurt my lower back and was in a great deal of pain. This visit was just amazing. They let me come in with my baby and were able to resolve the pain. I limped in and walked out!

I've been seeing Armene for over a year. She is wonderful.
Awaken is different from regular chiropractic appointments in which you go in, get your back cracked and come out 10 minutes later, if that much.
At Awaken they use a community room with five tables. You lie there and take some time to breath. Armene will come and start warming your body before she cracks your bones. She also does soft touch adjustments and has an incredible intuition. I very much recommend Armene.

I repaired Kenda's mac for her and she kindly offered me a free session. Being a table junkie, I went along but really was not prepared for the level of amazing care I received. Kenda is caring, gentle yet firm, sweet, nurturing and just makes me feel good no matter how bad I felt before I went into see her.
If it's not obvious that I became a regular client. I have quite a few friends who are chiropractors and very good ones at that, but there is something about the care I receive from Kenda which is so nurturing I have to keep returning for more. I highly recommend checking her out

I am a lifelong athlete and have been in chiropractic care of one kind or another for many years.
Today I saw Kenda for the first time in her capacity as chiropractor, and it was intense and amazing.
I thought I was coming in for a rotated pelvis, and ended up having a whole energetic field awakening.

I have seen Kenda and Armene off and on for 6 years and they are amazing, exceptional healers. Kind, intuitive and accomplished - Armene has saved my back, Kenda worked on other issues and even saved my dog when the vet wanted to put him down after he slipped a disc due to spinal dysphasia and couldn't walk.
Love love love this place.

I love Kenda and Armene! I have had regular adjustments from both of them over the last three years. I really appreciate the BGI style which they practice, which incorporates energetic work, light touch, more directed pressure/stretches, and bony adjustments (the cracking kind).
Having my neck adjusted can be scary, but both Kenda and Armene use a very light, gentle, yet firm touch that is precise, and makes me feel safe.
I also love the space. It's so cozy and welcoming. The tables are low and padded and comfortable. The music is always amazing (their personal music collection? pandora

Kenda and Armene are both caring, tender and deeply intuitive chiropractors who always seem to know exactly what I need.
They've helped significantly with my chronic neck and back stiffness and every time I go for an adjustment I leave lighter, both emotionally and physically.
I'll I can say is go for a visit. You'll see.

I can't say enough good things about Awaken! I absolutely look forward to seeing Kenda or Armeni (though i don't go often enough). I was referred from a friend when I was pregnant.
My lower back was in so much pain, and someone told me to go, and it made a huge difference in the quality of pregnancy, and in overall quality of life. They are as natural as possible, and all about overall health.
Kenya helped me through my pregnancy, including massages and movements to try to help my baby move around in the belly. She also referred a doula, and helped me with natural remedies for

Back pain?... What's that?!... OK, I'm exaggerating slightly, but Kenda has had a huge impact on my life. I feel lighter in my life--both physically and mentally--and I know her care is a huge part of that. I am so grateful.
A few months ago she opened a beautiful new office on Grand Ave. in which she is creating a very special community. Her favorite massage therapist, of whom I am also a (grateful) client, Haley Winter, has a suite there. Her office manager, Gingi, is a sweetheart, and juggles scheduling, playing with babies of parents who are getting adjusted in the other room, and
