Named Outstanding New DC of the Year for California in 2014 by the California Chiropractic Association, Stephanie Williams, DC operates Cafe of Life, a family chiropractic practice at 4535 Fanuel St, 92109, dedicated to pregnancy, pediatric, and whole-family care. A San Diego native, Williams graduated from Life Chiropractic College West in the Bay Area, where she earned Student of the Year honors in 2012 along with Intern of the Quarter and multiple Clinical Honors awards before returning home to open her own practice. She is certified in the Webster Prenatal Technique and maintains active membership with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, the International Chiropractors Association, and serves on the board of the California Chiropractic Association. Parents coordinating pediatric chiropractic visits with wellness checkups appreciate having Perlman Pediatrics Mission Bay / Pacific Beach nearby for primary care. The Cafe of Life model is rooted in vitalistic chiropractic philosophy, emphasizing the body’s innate ability to heal when the nervous system is clear of interference. Carliana Carpenter, DC, and Sydney Hook, DC, join Williams on staff, giving families access to multiple chiropractors trained through the International Chiropractic Association in advanced pediatric methods. Active parents maintaining their own fitness between family chiropractic visits often drop into CorePower Yoga - Pacific Beach for a session nearby. The office sees patients six days a week, including Saturday mornings.
