We honor the wisdom of the body and listen before we adjust.

Healing is rarely a single fix. We engage your whole being, consider how the systems of the body work together, and encourage ongoing self-care for continued growth.

The goal is simple: bring your body back into balance, and keep it there.

Meet Dr. Mary

Mary A. Whalen, DC, has been practicing in Fort Collins for over thirty years. She values genuine engagement with her clients, addressing the needs of the whole system during treatment rather than chasing a single complaint.

With a background in psychology, social work, and chemistry, Mary brings a rare breadth of perspective to her care. She continually adds to her healing technique through ongoing study and conferences in gentle spinal and manual therapies.

How we help

A toolkit of gentle, proven manual therapies.

Every body responds differently, so Dr. Mary draws from a deep range of techniques and tailors each session to what you need that day. Below are the methods she works with most.

  1. 01

    Spinal Manipulation

    Diversified, Thompson Drop, and Activator methods to restore healthy motion to the spine, from firm and traditional to feather-light.

  2. 02

    Craniosacral Therapy

    Upledger Institute, Biodynamic, and Canadian Osteopathic approaches, a quiet, gentle release of tension held deep in the body.

  3. 03

    Sutherland Indirect & Functional Technique

    Subtle, low-force methods that follow the body toward ease rather than forcing it, well suited to sensitive or chronic cases.

  4. 04

    Visceral Manipulation

    Gentle work with the organs and glands, addressing how internal systems and structure influence one another.

  5. 05

    Muscle Energy Techniques

    Your own gentle muscle contractions guide joints and soft tissue back toward proper alignment and balance.

  6. 06

    Therapeutic Touch

    An energy-based, deeply calming therapy that supports the nervous system and the body’s own capacity to heal.
