Dear Friend,

As we move into this New Year, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you and my other patients for supporting me and my vision of holistic chiropractic care. Your encouragement, honest feedback, and your many referrals have helped our healing mission and awareness grow over the last 50 years.

I treasure the close and caring relationships you’ve formed with me and Luisa. They have brought us much joy. I hope that you feel it’s been a two-way street.

I also want to give you an update on our plans and how they may effect our role in your continuing healing journey.

My wife, Luisa, and I are entering a new phase of life and preparing to spend most of our time in Portugal. It’s the land where she was born, and one that I have come to love. This change will allow us to create more balance and flexibility in our lives, while we continue supporting your well-being. Our plan gives me more space to focus on thoughtful, personalized care for you and others through a variety of channels. You may recall that we visited Portugal last Spring and offered Virtual Visits on ZOOM.

The A.S.A.P.™ (Assisted Self Alignment Protocol™) method has brought gratifying results for many of you, given its non-forceful, yet surprisingly powerful, nature. Virtual Visits have also become an important part of the practice: with hundreds of ZOOM visits leading to easier access to safe and effective care, regardless of your location or ours.

Here’s what to expect moving forward:

• In-person visits will continue through January and February 2026 in our current office space. Of course, we will also continue to offer Zoom visits during this time period.

• As of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, our practice will transition to a fully virtual model as we prepare for our physical relocation.

• During our relocation in April we will be taking 2-3 weeks to travel, rest, and get settled. We will announce the dates and times when we’ll resume Virtual Visits once we firm up our travel details.

If you’d like to schedule an in-person (or virtual) visit before the transition, I encourage you to book your appointment now.

We’re also excited to share that our Head 2 Foot practice website now includes an online store providing Standard Process and MediHerb supplements, shipped directly to you. I’ll continue to guide you in choosing the supplements you need the most, but their whole product line will be available to you. This includes full access to their excellent veterinary line for pets. We also have many supplements in stock. Please let us know if you have any questions.

It’s important to us that you understand that we are not retiring at this time. Instead, we are consciously choosing to live differently. We’re choosing a life with a less hectic pace, beautiful surroundings, nourishing food, gorgeous weather, and opportunities for adventure.

If you’d like to stay connected with us beyond appointments, we’d love to ‟bring you along.” We’ll be sharing updates about our transition, and Sofia, our marketing guru and webmaster, will be interviewing us regularly so you can be part of this new chapter in our unfolding story. We'll be sending regular updates about practice-related matters.

Although our location is changing, our commitment to your care remains the same. I will continue supporting you in handling your health, energy, stress and pain concerns, and I hope you’ll stay connected as we step into this next chapter together.

Yours in and for good health,

Dr. Stuart & Luisa
