Dr. Majid Zeinal strives to provide the most complete chiropractic experience for his clients by combining multiple techniques including diversified, Gonstead, activator, and sacro-occipital technique (SOT) while applying the concepts of bio-geometric integration (BGI) to adjust not only the spine but the whole body.  Dr. Majid has a gentle yet effective adjusting style that is suitable for adults and children of all ages.  Dr. Majid also uses soft tissue techniques (Active Release Technique) to address muscle tension and disfunction.

Through his experience Dr. Majid has observed that people are more comfortable during their sessions and feel better for a longer period of time if stored physical, emotional and chemical stress and tension in the body is released before applying structural spine and extremity adjustments to allow for proper joint alignment and mobility.  This is due to the fact that a flexible and connected mind, body and spirit is more easily able to integrate the adjustive forces being introduced into the system.

Dr. Majid uses his knowledge in nutrition to specialize in more difficult cases such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Intestinal Permeability and Microbial Infections.
 
Dr. Majid is dedicated to serving his wonderful community by spreading the truth about healthcare.  He believes that the mere treatment of symptoms is not the answer.  When it comes to your health and wellbeing, looking and feeling younger, avoiding deseases, and increasing your energy and living a long and fulfilling life, prevention and true healing are the only real answers.

Dr. Majid accepts most major medical insurance and personal injury (PI) cases.
 
Dr. Majid is on the Sebastopol Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and a Sebastopol Sunrise Rotary member involved in creating a better community.  Dr. Majid graduated magna cum lade from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California and has a B.S. in Food Science and Nutrition from UC Davis, California.
 
 
Dr. Emily Zeinal's (click on her photo to be directed to her website) goal through Chiropractic is to serve her community by helping individuals and families increase their self-awareness and trust bodies innate ability to heal. Dr. Emily incorporates light touch and gentle structural adjusting to guide the body to release old patterns of stored stress and tension. Stored stress and tension creates interference in the body's intelligence system and natural flow of energy. As the body releases the stored stress and tension the result is a more integrated and flexible body, mind and spirit.
 
Dr. Emily is dedicated to the study of Bio-Geometric Integration, or BGI. BGI is a vitalistic approach to Chiropractic that views the body as a whole. Based on the body's innate geometry, BGI provides a language and a system in which to communicate with the body in a clear and concise manner. BGI allows for the blending of different Chiropractic techniques which Dr. Emily then individualizes to meet the needs of each person.  
 
Dr. Emily has studied BGI since 2003 and graduated from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California. She  has completed a one year certification program offered by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), is certified in the Webster technique, and is a certified doula, all of which make her an excellent resource for mothers seeking greater health for themselves and their children.
Dr. Emily specializes in Pregnancy Chiropractic, Breech Presentation and Pediatric Chiropractic.

What people are saying...

 

"I have received several sessions from Emily and each time I feel like I am getting an incredible tune-up. My body seems to quickly respond to her techniques and feels great for a long time afterwards. Emily is totally present, nurturing, intuitive, and very warm and compassionate. Vibrant Life has created a sacred safe space for healing to take place. You just have to experience it for yourself!"
-Gail Blum, CMT

 

 

"I wholeheartedly recommend Majid’s chiropractic work. In addition to his skill and expertise, I especially like the sensitive way he makes adjustments. This quality is rare in my experience with many chiropractors. He also spends more time and shows more interest than I’ve usually experienced."
-Scott Engler, MA, CMT, BCST (Cranio-Sacral Therapist)

 

 

"Dr. Emily is truly living the vibrant life and is an inspiration. She sincerely cares about your wellness and lovingly takes her time when working with you which I so appreciate. I had ongoing neck pain which is now gone. Every time I leave the beautiful serene tranquil space I feel peacefully rejuvinated. I also had a massage appointment from Nina and it was deeply relaxing. Healing hands abound at Vibrant Life Chiropractic and Family Wellness Center!"
-Diane Trierweiler

"This it is one of the most important things I have done/am doing to improve the quality of my life. My parents both believed in chiropractic work so there were no barriers, no apprehensions to seeking that mode of care, and for many many years I have enjoyed that manual manipulation form of treatment and at the beginning of my care with Dr. Emily at Vibrant Life I wondered if this was indeed the right practice for me - it's quite the different experience to work with you, rather than lay back and have the work done. Hands down this is the highlight of my week. When I arrive at the practice I feel safe and secure and my experiences continue to grow and evolve. I find it so easy to carry on the work after I leave the office - I have become so conscious of the planting of my feet to walk, to stand. I am aware of my posture with such clarity and ease - something I thought would take years to correct. And it's so much more than simply that - as I am in greater touch with my body, I feel a greater connection with others and the earth we inhabit. The opportunity to share the treatment room supports that connection and like singing with the choir and dancing with a crowd, I at the same time feel my solo transformation and that of others in the room.
Thank you for sharing your gift with us."
-Kathy Munch, Farmer

-Ginny

 

 

"Majid and Emily are a delightful, sensitive and caring young couple working diligently to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of others. AND, they have great taste in music! I have benefitted greatly from my sessions with Majid and look forward to regular visits to help me stay physically tuned and emotionally inspired."

-Tim Webster



"I always have the sense that my session with Dr. Emily has begun as soon as I walk through the door, I instantly feel that I am being welcomed home... and the essence that we share doesn't fade away, just let yourself look into Dr. Emily's eyes, an understanding is there, of who you are at that precise moment, as trust and compassion and love dance with you under her loving care... let the healing begin!"

-Tim Paige

 

"My husband and I were delighted to find Dr. Emily and her refreshingly gentle and intuitive style of chiropractic. I am pleased to have become more physically active without the nagging back pain to which I was so accustomed before. We are both experiencing better posture and range of motion. Neither of us were ever athletic when we were younger, but we have even decided to take up tennis. We both agree that our improvement under Dr. Emily's care has been an extremely important part of our health care. Thanks Dr. Emily!"

-Terri Nave

 

"At the time of my first visit with Dr. Emily, I was not new to chiropractic. Because of my previous experiences I was comfortable waiting for the "crack" that would make me feel better. What a surprise! There was no "crack" and since then only a quiet pop. It is difficult to explain what Emily does, but then I'm far more interested in the results than the "how and why". When she told me that it was possible to gain movement in my chest, long since fused after an operation, I was cautiously optimistic until I began to feel my chest relaxing and opening. Now, I don't even ask what she is learning from her examination of my body and what treatment technique she selects and why. Why? No anxiety about visiting a Chiropractor. No anxiety about the treatment. And certainly, no anxiety about feeling better leaving than when I arrived!

Emily is a gifted body worker using chiropractic as the foundation of her healing practice. As a Pharmacist, I am trained to investigate, to learn, to understand - and to be skeptical. As a patient of Dr. Emily, I have learned that her care results in reliable, predictable, positive results.
Emily, you rock! "

-Stan Green, Pharmacist
