Meet the Staff
Dr. Dennis W. Harding, D.C., B.C.A.O.
Dr. Harding completed his undergraduate studies at Southern Oregon State College and his graduate studies at Western States Chiropractic College. He has over 30 years of clinical experience and is a Board Certified Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor. He is also an instructor in the Atlas Orthogonal technique.
Dr. Harding practiced independently for nine years in Gillette, WY, before moving to Auburn, CA, with his family in 1989. He opened his new practice a year later, a practice that solely employs the Atlas Orthogonal technique. Dr. Harding states,
"I chose Atlas Orthogonal because it is more precise and provides a better correction than the traditional snapping and cracking. Atlas Orthogonal provides little to no room for error and after more than 20 years of practicing this technique, I have seen that the atlas is the most important bone in the body. I have witnessed a outstanding success rate with more and more people achieving better health and a better quality of life."
Dr. Harding's mission is...
Attracting and treating patients successfully with precision Atlas work and restoring patient's quality of life while upholding God's principles and precepts.
Dr. Harding enjoys quality time with his family and hydrofoil sky-skiing. Dr. Harding has been married to his wife Kristie for 30 amazing years. He also has 2 wonderful children, his son Nick and daughter J.J. and has enjoyed the addition of a daughter-in-law Jeni and a son-in-law George.
Kristie Harding, C.N.C.
Kris is our very own chameleon. She does two different services every day. Kris does Gau Sha which is a Chinese technique done to release muscle tension.
Kris also does nutritional counseling. Through personal illness Kris began learning a healthier lifestyle. She is now finishing a doctoral degree in nutrition and health. Kris feels this is her calling. She has passion, knowledge, and a plan! "I believe each person has a unique set of circumstances and needs. I want to help design a nutritional support program for them. And I want to help as many people as I can get their quality of life back. In fact, if it's possible I hope to help them have an even better quality of life than before. That's my goal."
Kristie enjoys quality time with her family. She hopes to finally, yes finally, finish her doctoral degree by the end of 2010! She has been married to her husband Dennis for 30 fantastic years. She loves to brag about her 2 great kids and the recent addition of new kids, Jeni and George. After she finishes school she hopes to renew her quest to find the perfect book to read while on the perfect beach.
Kristie's mission is...
I will come to work each day excited to help patients to get their quality of life back. With Gua Sha, I will release muscle tension and therefore help their atlas adjustment to hold. With Nutrition, I will help patients through the maze of choices and change needed for their project to better health. I will do my best to educate and encourage the people God puts in my path each day.
