Who we are

The Nurture Collective, located in Encinitas, California, is a collaborative wellness space founded by Dr. Kristy Swanson. We bring together a diverse group of practitioners dedicated to supporting whole-body health and well-being.

Dr. Kristy developed a unique modality called Chirossage, which integrates chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage, and acupuncture cupping to address muscles, fascia, and joint alignment.

Our mission is to support each patient on their individual health journey through personalized care and education. By thoughtfully layering complementary modalities, we empower patients to explore self-care, build accountability, and prioritize their well-being every step of the way.
