Chiropractor, Owner

As someone whom has always enjoyed being physically active, I also understand how frustrating it can be when that ability is taken away- for whatever reason. I understand first hand how stress, trauma, injury, and illness can all take an incredible toll on the body and mind, and  I've watched friends and family both suffer and triumph over their own.  I absolutely believe in the power and intertwined impact of the brain-body-spirit complex, and the need for support to help us through.  That's why I'm dedicated to keeping an active, healthy, balanced lifestyle, fighting the inevitable aging process, and doing whatever I can to continue learning ways to help those around me successfully do the same.  Over the years I've been blessed to work with and learn from some amazing practitioners from around the world that have taught me a wonderful range of techniques to draw from when treating my patients, and my family. In fact, little did I know when I decided to start specializing in scoliosis that, at age 7, my own son would become my first ScoliBrace patient. 

 Now, more than ever, I am convinced that I, alone, can't " quick fix" anything. But I do believe that God created the human body to do amazing things that we are still discovering. I'm here to assist that process. If you're ready to work with me, we can help your brain and body to heal and function the way its meant to.


Dr. Hackett is a graduate of Southern California University of Health Sciences, (LACC). Prior to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine, she worked as a Certified Athletic Trainer and NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist at University of California, San Diego. There she worked with various staff, students and University Athletics’ teams such as Men’s & Women’s Basketball, Volleyball, Track & Field, Soccer, Crew and Water Polo. While there, she also had the pleasure of assisting with the instruction and supervision of interns from the San Diego State Athletic Training Program. 

In addition, Dr. Hackett has had extensive experience working with patients for post-operative and sports injury rehabilitation in physical therapy clinics not only here in San Diego’s HealthSouth Physical Therapy, (Oasis Sports Medicine location), but in her native states of New York and Connecticut. Her past experience includes serving as Head Athletic Trainer at San Diego's St. Augustine High School before returning to school to complete her doctorate. 

Prior to moving to California, Dr. Hackett received her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Human Movement & Sports Science) and Athletic Training from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT.
