Namaste, I’m Dr. Elizabeth Wisniewski and I am passionate about vitalistic perinatal care.

I possess unique expertise as one of the only Perinatal plus Webster certified Chiropractors in the region. My practices are somatic, gender, and trauma informed. I am anti-ablest, anti-racist, and a Decolonial fourth-wave feminist. I am humbled to practice on Chumash (Shmuwich) land now known as Santa Barbara and Ventura, California

I am an ENFJ on Myers-Briggs, 3 with a 2 wing on the Enneagram, and have my sun sign in Cancer, moon sign in Scorpio, with a Leo rising. My love language is gift giving and I share my gifts of holistic healthcare throughout the perinatal continuum. I was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and completed my undergrad at the University of Montana in 2006 where I earned a bachelors in environmental studies and political science.

I received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic – West Campus in San Jose, CA in 2012. This led to deeper exploration of the body and somatic experiences inspiring a multitude of additional trainings, including: Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, Certified Perinatal Chiropractor, Pre and Perinatal Educator, Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Ayurvedic Body Worker and Pancha Karma Practitioner, Postpartum Doula, Certified Life Coach, Reiki Master, Certified Crystal Healer, amongst other qualifications.

In 2018, I received my MA in Depth Psychology with specialization in Somatic Studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, CA.  In 2022, I received my Ph.D in Depth Psychology with specialization in Somatic Studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute. The focus of my dissertation research was on the lived experience of cesarean birth from a cross-cultural perspective.

From a young age, I was passionate about environmental and social justice. Those passions combined with my lived experience of over 30 eye surgeries for a rare eye disease deeply informed my journey towards holistic healing in my own body. And by extension motivating me to facilitate and advocate for healing in all beings. I am humbled to walk on this healing journey with you. And so it is.
