Dr. Trista Darling

Trista’s holistic and science based approach to chiropractic care is effective and to the point. No need for long drawn out treatment plans when you are in her care. She has an extensive background in pain management, non-surgical treatment of spinal issues and is extremely passionate about prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care. Anyone hesitant about receiving chiropractic care will be in good hands with Dr. Darling.
Dr. Brodie Fish
CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN

Jessica Settle
CHIROPRACTOR/SCRIBE
Dr. Jessica was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV and graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Dr. Jessica knew that she always wanted to work in the healthcare field, but just wasn’t sure what she specifically wanted to specialize in until she shadowed her family chiropractor. From there, she attended the University of Western States in Portland, OR and graduated in September 2023!
Dr. Jessica enjoys a holistic and individualistic approach to treatment. She enjoys a combination of soft tissue work coupled with chiropractic adjustments. Her soft tissue work consists of instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation, cupping, pin and stretch, etc. While her chiropractic techniques consist of diversified technique, activator, drop table, and flexion-distraction.
When she’s not in the clinic she loves hanging out with her husband, Chris and dog, Caly. She is also so excited to start exploring the PNW more since she no longer has school to worry about!
Dr. Marie Mason
CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN
Dr. Marie Mason is a 2005 graduate from Western States Chiropractic College. Her and her family moved here from Arizona in 2001 to allow her to follow her dream of becoming a chiropractor. Her and her husband both grew up on the east coast outside of Philadelphia but since he was in the military they have lived around the world. They have 2 daughters, both grown and living in Maui.
She works full time at CFHC but when she is not at work you might find her and her husband at the movies or exploring what the great pacific northwest region has to offer – “there’s always something new to see”.
Dr. Mason’s approach to chiropractic care is to treat the whole person. She considers all aspects of a patient’s health care, past and present, coupled with the patient’s present complaints, to come up with a treatment plan to help the patient achieve their health goals. She practices using diversified method, drop table and activator chiropractic techniques as well as Graston technique and KT taping. These techniques alone or combined, are to help you get feeling better as quickly as possible. Dr. Mason’s goal for you is to get you feeling better quickly and to help you maintain that pain free state throughout the years!
