CIERRA ABER
PRACTICE MANAGER
A Radiation Therapist by trade, Cierra decided to make a career move to more accurately align with her beliefs and passion for an integrative and functional approach to health that focuses on root-cause analysis and personalized care. She has a dedication to quality and is excited and motivated to be a source of information, support, and empowerment for patients throughout their healing journey to optimal and sustainable health.
Cierra looks at health as a three-leg stool, which is held up only by the balance of physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual well-being. She believes in the power of authenticity, self-trust, and aligned relationships/environments as a way to thrive.
Outside of her focus on holistic health, Cierra is a mother of three (two humans, and one dog) and spends much of her free time with them. She enjoys writing and self-publishing children’s books, creating mixed gemstone keepsakes and speaking on the topics of deconditioning, individualism, and living beyond the status quo.

Being a health and fitness enthusiast at heart, Sabrina holds a personal training certification and loves empowering others to take charge of their well-being.
On a personal note, Sabrina is no stranger to the challenges that health conditions can bring.

This journey not only deepened her understanding of natural healing but also ignited a passion to help others reclaim their health through holistic practices and support those seeking to reconnect with their bodies.
When she’s not coordinating care for our patients, Sabrina is always looking for ways to enjoy the outdoors, finding new books to read, taking a yoga class, and always looking for ways to expand her knowledge on nutrition, fitness, and holistic approaches to life.
