At Bee Well Chiropractic, we believe your body is not a problem to be managed. It is an intelligent, self-healing system that thrives when it is supported, educated, and free from interference.
In today's healthcare world it is all too common to chase symptoms instead of asking why they are there in the first place. That quick-fix approach often leaves people feeling frustrated, stuck, and disconnected from their own healing potential. We do things differently. In our office you are an active participant in your care, not just a recipient of it. We want you to understand what is happening in your body, why it matters, and what becomes possible when your nervous system is clear.
Much like the bees that inspire our name, we believe in the power of working together, supporting one another in community, and knowing when to push forward and when to rest. Bees are small but mighty. They pollinate life, nourish the planet, and defy what seems possible. We carry that same spirit into our care: grounded in service, rooted in connection, and always focused on helping you access your fullest expression of health.
Many of the people we see are feeling the effects of a world that moves too fast, overloaded by physical, chemical, and emotional stress. Over time that stress builds in the nervous system and shows up as discomfort, disconnection, or dysfunction. Our gentle, nervous-system-focused chiropractic care helps release that stored tension and restore your body's ability to adapt, heal, and thrive.
We use a full spine adjustment approach tailored to each individual. Whether that means strong, traditional adjustments or gentle, low force techniques, we meet your body where it is at. From brand new babies to growing families, we are honored to care for people at every step of your family's journey.
Why Choose Bee Well Chiropractic?
Since Sharee joined the team most of my work happens behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly. While Cora and I still spend plenty of time in the office we are also able to go on a lot more adventures these days.
When I am not at the office you will find me in the garden, out hiking, camping, or soaking up time at the river with our family.

I have always believed that birth and early parenthood deserve more support than our healthcare system typically offers. But it wasn't until I lived it myself that I understood just how deep that support needs to go.
When my daughter Cora was born in December 2023, the early days of new motherhood came with unexpected challenges that made breastfeeding super tough! What followed was weeks of hard work, persistence, and leaning on every tool available (chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, lactation support, pumping, bottle feeding, a nipple shield & more) to finally establish the feeding relationship I had hoped for. More than two years later we are still going.
That journey cracked something open in me. As much as I already knew about infant feeding and oral function from years of clinical practice, experiencing it as a mother gave me a different kind of knowing. It deepened my conviction that chiropractic care and lactation support are not separate things — they are two essential pieces of the same puzzle. A baby cannot feed well in a body that is not at ease. And a mama cannot thrive when her baby is struggling.
It is why I became a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. It is why I recently sat for my IBCLC examination. And it is why the Bee Well Birth Collective exists.
I founded Bee Well Chiropractic in January 2018 with a mission to bring exceptional, nervous-system-focused chiropractic care to Nevada County families. I hold a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West, a BA from the University of Hawaii at Hilo, and advanced certifications from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association including my CACCP, Webster Technique, and Perinatal certifications. I hold additional certifications in Craniosacral Therapy, Dynamic Body Balancing, BGI, MLS, and The FOCUS Academy, with a lifelong commitment to learning that I hope my patients feel in every adjustment.
I have traveled on multiple mission trips to bring chiropractic to underserved communities, and I try to show up with that same devotion for every family that walks through my door.
My husband Brian helps keep the practice running behind the scenes. Young patients have taken to calling the office "Cora's House," which feels just about right.
Outside the office you will find me in the garden, at a professional seminar, or soaking up time at the river with my family.

Bring your baby to Dr. Maria! Dr. Maria provided exceptional care for my newborn daughter, who was struggling with oral ties. Her expertise and gentle approach with babies were evident from the start. She skillfully adjusted my daughter which helped with latching and nursing, ensuring she could build up strength before her tongue tie release procedure. Dr. Maria's compassionate and effective care made a significant difference in our breastfeeding journey and my daughter’s torticollis. Her beautiful head shape and all the tiny blessings in between is all due to this woman’s magical healing hands. I highly recommend Dr. Maria for anyone seeking pediatric chiropractic care, especially for issues related to oral ties. -Emily N.

We have been seeing Dr.Maria for our Little One for a few months starting at 6 months old. She is WONDERFUL! As a mother to feel so welcomed, heard, validated and supported in the medical field is unfortunately hard to come by and something not even money can buy. She delivers every time and seeing even the slightest improvements make the investment worthwhile. Each little graduation to less frequent visits are bittersweet ❤️ I cannot recommend her enough. -Kristina E.
"I cannot recommend her enough"
My 9 year old son had chronic debilitating stomach pains for two months. After several emergency room visits and a 5 day hospital stay with no answers, we decided to try something different. I can’t speak highly enough of Bee Well Chiropractic, in a week of care my son was starting to feel better and returning to his normal activities. After a month of adjustments he no longer had pain, and back to his normal self. - Jennifer B

My son first saw Dr. Maria when he was seven weeks old. He was jaundice, colicky, gassy, didn’t sleep much and had terrible reflux. Within hours of his first visit, the jaundice faded completely out of his body. Over the next few weeks of care with Dr. Maria, he became a much more relaxed and happy baby. Dr. Maria noticed that he was possibly tongue tied and referred us to an IBCLC. She confirmed the tongue and lip ties and referred us to a pediatric dentist for oral tie release. We did several weeks of chiropractic care with Dr. Maria then had his ties released. With the help of Dr. Maria, his recovery went very smooth. His body has responded very well and he is happy and thriving now. I highly recommend Dr. Maria! - Kallie M.

She is truly one of a kind Doctor. My experience with her has been nothing but amazing. I have been adjusted by many different chiropractors, and her knowledge and adjusting skills are top notch. She is gentle, but delivers very powerful adjustments, which makes you feel an immediate difference in your mind and body. I highly recommend anybody in the area to get under care with her, you will not regret it! – Cristina A.
"Dr. Maria has such a big and beautiful heart, which radiates in her practice and her adjusting skills."
She saw me during my pregnancy and now sees my newborn and is a baby whisperer! She is so gentle and soft spoken. I could not recommend Dr. Maria more! If you're expecting, have a little one, or just needing help to feel better, come see Dr. Maria, you will thank yourself! – Megan P.
"Dr. Maria is a baby whisperer!"
Her adjustments, exercise videos and suggestions really helped me get unstuck, not only in my spine, but in my life. It’s amazing how holistically connected everything is, and I’m grateful to have a chiropractor on my team that understands this so deeply. Thanks Dr. Maria! She also has an amazing booking system for easily scheduling a session whenever I need one, right from my phone. Nice office with a space to stretch and roll out my back. - Blair B.

She helped keep me balanced throughout my pregnancy and now with my newborn, she's been working wonders with my baby's tight latch, jaw, and shoulders. My little girl literally becomes unwound before my eyes in our sessions. It's quite miraculous to witness. – Lauren J.
"Dr. Maria is a dream to work with!"
Dr. Maria helped my body feel better in so many ways during my pregnancy and into postpartum. She’s the most thorough chiropractor I’ve worked with and has a wide range of techniques. She helped solve some major discomfort happening during the third trimester of pregnancy and that work contributed to a smooth and positive labor and delivery. And then she came to my aid in the early days of postpartum and helped correct sciatica and back pain. Thank you Dr. Maria! -Aletheia Z
