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.

RECEPTIONIST

I am the receptionist here at Diamond Head Chiropractic — the friendly face you’ll see when you walk through the front door. I’m a recent high school graduate and proud to be the newest member of the team. Fun fact — I used to be the baby in Dr. Jesse’s waiting room, and now I get to welcome you in from behind the counter!

I’ve been dancing hula since I was 5, and paddling since I was 8, so anything ocean-related is right up my alley. When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me soaking up the sun at the beach. I also love to travel and dream of becoming a flight attendant one day. I’m excited to be part of your wellness journey and can’t wait to meet you!

TEAM MEMBER

I am the former office manager here at Diamond Head Chiropractic — you might remember me as the first face you saw when you walked in and the voice you heard when you called! While I’ve stepped away from the front desk to pursue a new opportunity, I’m still part of the DHC ‘ohana and may pop in from time to time to help out.

I am originally Colombian, but grew up in South Florida. I’ve lived on island for about 5 years and I love to read, surf, and practice yoga and art in my free time. In addition to working in the office, I am passionately pursuing a career in birthwork as a doula. I went to school on a pre-med track and have always preferred holistic medicine as an initial approach. It is a joy to connect with you all in the special space that is our office.
