  • Founder

    Autumn is the culmination of everything that is Cafe of Life. In 1999, she felt led to begin the process of becoming a Chiropractor and has spent the last 24 years on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

    Autumn serves as a mentor and teacher for Chiropractors and students all over the world. She finds purpose in inspiring students to find and be led by the strength of their inner innate voice and to be a catalyst of change.

    Beyond her profession, Autumn brings personal experience as a mother of 4. Autumn has lived the natural birth experience all four times and is passionate about giving other moms the support they need to do the same.

  • Early in his life, Tom was drawn towards a life dedicated to serving humanity through the healing arts. As the son of a medical doctor, raised on the Texas/Mexico border, Tom witnessed the abilities & limitations of our current healthcare system from a young age.

    A dedicated martial artist since the age of 10, Tom developed discipline and mastery from the practice but also the body stress and pains from the intense workouts. Seeking a natural means to heal and continue to grow, he found his wellbeing restored by Chiropractic and also his professional purpose in life.

    Tom is a gentle, loving father & a compassionate Chiropractor with one goal - to live & teach the Innate principles of Chiropractic & contribute to elevating the consciousness of humankind.

  • From a young age Phillip always felt compelled to help others. In high school he spent half of his day in regular classes and the other half in a medical high school. Upon graduating college he took over instructing anatomy labs. Through teaching the beauty of the human body and the all inspiring power within it, Phillip found his calling, leading him to the hands on healing art of Chiropractic and the missing piece that he had been searching for.

    Through Chiropractic Phillip has been able to find healing mind, body and soul; ultimately connecting with his true self. He is caring, thoughtful and passionate. Phillip loves his family, friends, and the beautiful souls that he is able to serve.

    His passion has always been based on one notion: come as you are and let’s grow together. He is a missing piece Autumn and Tom had been searching for and he completes the Cafe team in divine design.
