Meet the Expert

Dr. Jacoba van der Giessen grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, and graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island in 2007. After practicing for a couple of years in Pittsburgh, she decided to move closer to extended family in CT.

Having had exposure to holistic practices in her early career, Dr. van der Giessen decided to pursue chiropractic training to enhance her approach of optimizing quality of care.
