The Team
Robin Shatz, C.M.T., CCE, CEIM, PLMD, PPMD
Owner & Functional Therapeutic
Massage Therapist
“Whole Living is MY way to live!” This is a quote that I try to live by daily. I have been practicing Functional/Therapeutic Massage Therapy for 30+ years. Through those years I continued on with my education to give as much help and education to clients that are on my table. It is important to understand that when doing therapeutic bodywork it isn’t just one modality being used but many working together to create balance and homeostasis in the body.
Life can be full of stress, discomfort/pain, and fatigue that affects not only the body but the brain. When I work with a client I look at the total ‘functional’ aspect of that person. This means that it is taken into account the full lifestyle of that person from how they eat to what their relationship and stresses are at home, I look at it all as we are made up of not just one factor but many. We truly are the makeup of how we live our lives and our bodies begin to show it.
As a ‘life learner’ I knew back at the start that I wanted to create a place where women and families could go to to help with not only specific body issues but to help them to understand that they really ARE in control and to trust the connection between their body and brain.
Dawn Bower, IBCLC
Lactation consultant
My journey in the lactation field began as a dream in 1999 while I was sitting in a WIC office at a breastfeeding support group, breastfeeding my sixth child. While listening to the speaker, I realized I wanted to become an IBCLC with my own private practice. But how was I going to do that with six children and the lack of higher education? With encouragement from the speaker, I joined La Leche League. In 2002 I became a Leader with Antelope Valley group, growing my skills at helping moms according to their needs. 2006 became an exciting time for when I was hired by WIC and attended UCLA Extension & received my Certified Lactation Educator certificate. While working for WIC, doing rounds with new moms in the hospital, I studied and took the IBCLC exam, passing it in 2009.
In 2011, twelve years after setting the goal of becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I opened my own Private Practice. I now help others reach their goals.
“Dreams do come true!”
Denise Miranda D.C

Growing up playing competitive sports, Dr. Miranda became fascinated with the human body, and how it all worked and moved. Through her own experience with injuries she learned how amazingly the human body can heal itself if given the correct tools.

Before pursuing her doctorate in chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic West, Dr. Miranda earned a Bachelors in Exercise Science (BS) from Brigham Young University of Idaho. There she honed her skills and developed a love for sports therapy, movement-based medicine, and a more holistic lifestyle. It wasn’t until she attended Palmer College of Chiropractic, that her focus soon switched to children and pregnant woman care after witnessing the benefits of chiropractic on pregnancy, labor, and birth while interning at the Palmer Student Clinic. Since then Dr. Miranda passion for caring for infants, children and their mother continues to grow. Has made it her goal as a chiropractor to help pregnant woman, infants, children, and the general population get the most of life through optimizing their body’s function, encouraging healthy habits, and educating on health topics that are often neglected in our busy lives
Additionally, Dr. Miranda has a Master Degree in Clinical Nutrition, is Webster Certified, and is currently on route to being a board certified pediatric and prenatal specialist.
