About Doc McCullen

Dr. Kia Kathleen VanDusen McCullen (that is why everyone
calls her Doc!) is a second generation chiropractor.After
graduating from the University of Florida and a Masters from
Federal City College, Doc then studied at  Hippocrates
Health Institute in Boston under the guidance of Ann
Wigmore,pioneer of raw foodism, and wheat grass therapy,
and the renowned Dr. Joseph DiRuzzio, acupuncturist and
alternative healthcare expert.

Attending Bastyr College of Naturopathic Medicine in Seattle,
she studied with Dr. Bastyr for whom the college was named.
Dr. Major Dejarnette, internationally acclaimed osteopath and chiropractor then inspired Doc in her studies of
chiropractic with her graduating magna cum laude from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles, and
with a BS in Human Biology .  
              
Doc traveled to Ghana West Africa and Congo Brazzavillle , working with the World Health Organization.   
Based on David Warner's "Where There is No Doctor" she went from village to village caring for the indiginous
people, teaching them how to care for themselves, using what was locally available.
                 
This gave the Doc what has been the cornerstone for her practice; which is to make understanding your body
as simple as possible so that you know how to take care of it.

Returning to the States, Doc had the opportunity to work with Dr. Larry Webster, known for his “Webster
Technique”. This technique is a chiropractic adjustment that makes pregnant women more comfortable and, in
the process, provides the stability for breech babies to turn.

Dr. McCullen is recognized throughout the United States, Europe, as well as West Africa and Cental Africa for
her use of gentle low force chiropractic and her customized nutritional guidance.

A Note from the Doc:
"There is so much information out and neither you nor your child fall into a "one size fits all"
category.

When my daughters were little, I was so grateful to have had the chance to study with amazingly
giants in health care. I knew what was the correct thing to do for my family  What a relief!

My girls are grown now and I have 3 grandchildren  and I have seen patients  over 30 years —
and both of these experiences have helped contribute to my ability to know what is important —
which you just don't get from education alone.

With all the talk about the cost of insurance, isn't the smartest thing to do to stay well.  The old
Chinese barefoot doctor approach is paying for health care when you are WELL and not paying
when you are sick - now that would truly be health care.   Getting regular adjustments and
nutritional handlings before we hurt - help us stay healthy.  Then we don't have to worry about
the cost of insurance.  

This is about you. Are you ready?  

You are the expert on your body. Using a lot of questions what you want handled becomes clear.
Starting with the easiest and most cost effective ways you'll move to where you want to be.
Sounds like what you had in mind for your body? Let's get started!" —Doc McCullen
