Meet Aušra
She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Gender and Women’s Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2008, followed by a Master of Arts in Women’s Studies in 2010. She later taught English Composition and Women’s and Gender Studies at Indiana University Northwest and the University of Illinois at Chicago, and served as a choir director — early expressions of her interest in embodiment, voice, and human connection.
In 2013, she began formal training in intuitive development and completed Usui and Celtic Reiki certifications, beginning what is now over a decade of dedicated energy work practice.
In April 2014, her path shifted when she was involved in a major car accident requiring emergency back surgery. She relearned how to walk. Through chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, and energy work, she made meaningful strides in recovery. That experience profoundly shaped her understanding of pain, nervous system dysregulation, and the commitment healing requires. It also inspired her to deepen her training.
She completed Shamanic Cranial Sacral Therapy training in 2019 through Sacred Journey Institute. In 2020, she graduated from Universal Spa Training Academy as a licensed massage therapist and has since gained over five years of hands-on clinical experience. Motivated by the impact chiropractic had on her own rehabilitation, she pursued doctoral education and earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2025.
Dr. Aušra brings both clinical training and lived experience to her work. Her approach is gentle, attentive, and collaborative. Patients can expect sessions that are responsive to the body’s cues and tailored to what is needed that day.
Care may include instrument-assisted adjusting, Thompson Drop and Diversified techniques, therapeutic massage, cupping, muscle scraping, and energy work — thoughtfully integrated to support alignment, mobility, and nervous system balance for sustainable healing.
Outside the clinic, she enjoys discovering new culinary finds and food festivals, playing piano and kanklės, hiking, and singing.
