The heart behind the hands.
Dr. JP built Hands of Hope around a simple conviction: genuine care begins with listening.
One adjustment changed the direction of his life.
At 23, while living in Los Angeles, JP was injured in a high-diving accident. He could barely walk and could not lift his right foot more than a couple of inches. Medication dulled the pain but did not address what was wrong.
Desperate for relief, he visited a chiropractor for the first time. After a careful examination and adjustment, his pain changed dramatically. Within a week, he was moving freely again—and asking bigger questions about how the body heals.
That experience introduced him to chiropractic as more than symptom relief. It became a calling.
Curious, connected, and deeply human.
Dr. JP graduated from Life West Chiropractic College in Hayward, California, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology from California State University, Los Angeles.
He works with people of all ages and backgrounds, using hands-on care and Bio-Geometric Integration principles to listen to the body’s patterns and support its natural capacity to adapt.
He also welcomes prospective chiropractic students who want to learn more about the profession or spend time observing the practice.
A center built for whole-person wellness.
Dr. JP opened Hands of Hope to give Fredericksburg a positive, welcoming place for natural care.
The center has grown into a collaborative home for chiropractic, massage, coaching, birth support, performance work, and thermography—because healing rarely fits inside one box.
