CHIROPRACTOR

I was born on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i in 1973 to mother Bette and father Richard Cracknell, who lived in Waimanalo at the time. After growing up between Hawai'i and San Diego, California, I graduated from high school on the island of Kaua'i and earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Asian Studies from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa on O'ahu . I then traveled abroad for over a year before returning to the United States in 1999 to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California, graduating in 2003.

Why Chiropractic Care: Raised in a family of triathletes and being a triathlete himself, I chose to concentrate my studies in Sports Chiropractic. During my time as an undergraduate at U.H., I worked as a massage therapist, with the majority of my clients coming from the university's athletic department. Upon seeing the many soft tissue disorders whose root cause was joint dysfunction and subluxation of the spinal vertebrae and outlying extremities, I chose to extend my studies of the human body to chiropractic health care.

OFFICE MANAGER

I am the newest face behind the front desk here at Diamond Head Chiropractic! Originally from California, I first moved to O‘ahu in 2018 to get my Bachelor’s in Business Administration from UH. I enjoy working in health care because I love getting to know the members of our community and seeing the positive impact chiropractic care has on so many people’s daily lives.

When I’m not at the office you may find me out walking, enjoying local parks or on a hiking trail. During my time at UH, I minored in agriculture and I love to support local farmers markets. I also enjoy cooking and trying all the yummy restaurants we have here in Kaimukī!
