Bio of Dr. Vanloon
My name is Dr. Vanloon. As a teen growing up in Pontiac Michigan, I had chronic back pain that caused me to seek out chiropractic care. It made such a positive impact that it completely changed my life, leading me to choose to become a doctor of chiropractic myself! After completing my undergraduate studies at Oakland Community College and Wayne State University, I enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. After interning with my mentor in Pontiac and practicing in Royal Oak, the opportunity to start my own practice presented itself and I excitedly embraced it!
In the summer of 2008, I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of a chiropractic mission trip to Santa Catarina, Brazil. It was truly a blessing to offer the benefits of chiropractic to so many people that don't have regular access to healthcare. That trip reminded me of the reason I chose to become a chiropractor, which was to help as many people as possible to achieve their utmost state of wellness.
Besides my passion for chiropractic, I am an avid partner dancer. Among my favorites are City Ballroom, Salsa and Latin Hustle. I am also an ordained minister, specializing in custom ceremonies. While I don't have children of my own, I have the great pleasure of being a Godparent several times over and a cat "mom" to Luna, Freya and Nyx.
I believe every individual is different, and that health is a process and not an event. I practice chiropractic in a manner that intends to balance the body physically, emotionally and energetically. The techniques I offer are gentle and low-force, including KST, Activator and Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique. I also offer shamanic healing meditation journeys, following completion of the Sacred Balance Academy's Intuitive Practitioner Certification Program. Most recently, I have both level 1 and 2 Reiki certifications. I'm thankful to hold the distinction of having been voted one of Hour Detroit Magazine’s Top Chiropractors since 2012.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to treat you and your family. I look forward to helping you achieve your best health through chiropractic!
