About Us
Our Story
We opened our office in 2020, during the beginning of the covid pandemic. We met each other back in 2017 while working at a chiropractic franchise called The Joint, a fast-paced practice, where doctors would adjust 50 plus patients a day. We had an instant connection, fell in love, and married a year later. The love we had for each other extended beyond our relationship.
We both learned so much about each other’s family’s and dreams. Coming from working class families, we both knew what it meant to need care, but not being able to afford it. Our goal was to focus on the quality of care for our patients. We envisioned treating our patients as if they were family, with compassion and understanding. To make sure our patients felt seen, heard, and know that they were in the right place.
We treat people with respect, listen to their needs and give them the care they deserve. If we cannot help you, we will find the person or place that can.
Our goal is to ensure that your spine and the rest of your body are working harmoniously to promote greater health, function/athletic performance, and the reduction of pain.
We are proud to be serving in Pasadena and South Pasadena. Here to help people feel better, enjoy life, and do what makes them happy with a healthy personalized, gentle adjusted spine.

Co-Owner/Doctor of Chiropractic
My journey to Chiropractic was not a straight line. I initially wanted to be a Marine Biologist to study whales and Porpoises, but the universe had other plans. I volunteered at a hospital, in the Physical Therapy department. I loved working with people, seeing them regain their lives and recover from a life-changing event. This was my future. I soon decided I would pursue a Chiropractic degree. I got my Bachelors of Human Biology in 2003 and my Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2004. I have now been practicing for more than 18 years.
Even though my road to Chiropractic was windy, I am so grateful! It has opened my eyes to the wonders of the human body and to understand that we are genetically programmed for balance, health, and repair. It is how we eat, move, and think that can run interference with this genetic road map for success.
Every choice we make will push us towards health/vitality or disease/breakdown.
Apple or cookies? Exercise or couch? Lean into our friends/family or isolate ourselves when times are rough? Get involved and help clean up our environment or allow it to become more toxic?
These choices get us to our destination. We either have the body that allows us to live an incredible life or a body that is too tired and diseased to enjoy it.
I am here to help others make better choices, one at a time, so that we can be able to live and love the way we want. I am honored that you are choosing our clinic to take your next step. I look forward to working with you.

Growing up, my family gave me motivation to succeed and value myself. I learned to be independent and to work hard for my success. I worked my way up. I pushed myself to evolve. When I became a proud DACA recipient, I already had expertise that took me to the next level. My administrative opportunities and experiences have been in management, sales, customer service, and the health industry for 15 years. It has given me the tools to grow and learn ways of running a business. I have always wanted to help others. I wanted to do this on my terms, with my ideas, in my own business. It led me to pursue a career dealing with the body and mental health.
Currently, I Co-own and manage Dr. Pete Borboa DC. I am in the process of getting my Sociology degree. My goal is to help others with their body and mind.
I have gravitated towards self-awareness and personal growth. With gratitude, I look forward to helping you on a journey to a better you.
