Photobiomodulation Therapy / Red-Light Therapy

Kristina Chancholo is a natural-born healer with a passion for holistic healing. Her interest in equine chiropractic treatment began when she witnessed a horse being adjusted at a young age. In 2005, Kristina graduated from Cal State University of Fresno with a Bachelor’s in Equine Science and became a certified Equine Body Worker, helping sport horses recover from injuries. After a car accident in 2015, Kristina discovered Photobiomodulation (PBM) and used it to heal herself. She then began treating horses with PBM, reducing their recovery time by half. Kristina’s equine clients soon introduced her to treating humans, and her business grew from there. Kristina believes that photobiomodulation helps the body move from being stuck in a cycle of pain to self-healing at the cellular level. She aims to connect all the pieces of healing together through light therapy.
