She also teaches adjusting and philosophy courses to chiropractic students in her Oakland office. She recently bought her first home in Forestville, CA and is immensely enjoying the redwoods. swimming in the river and her first veggie garden.  These days she still plays indoor soccer, stand up paddles and hopes to get back to snowboarding this coming winter.
