Dr. Ally Quintos
Dr. Ally is one of those rare extraverted Seattleites. She loves to help others move better and feel better while holding a compassionate, motivating space. As with other providers at Flourish, Dr. Ally believes that any progress in health, no matter how small, is a step forward and should be celebrated. Some days that will be earning a PR at the gym. Other days that will be simply showing up for your appointment. Your best will change from day to day, and it is enough.
Dr. Ally uses chiropractic adjusting, muscle scraping (gua sha), pin and stretch, and therapeutic exercises, while also addressing behavioral modifications, nutrition, and lifestyle factors all for optimal wellness. She is primarily a diversified manual adjuster, and also implements Thompson Drops and instrument-assisted adjustments. Some of her patients prefer instrument-only and that is welcomed by her.
She takes a movement and biomechanics based approach to chiropractic to promote function and wellbeing. As an avid runner, Dr. Ally loves helping people with hip, knee and shoulder injuries. She is amazed at how many people who hike or run have neck and shoulders tension! Aside from sports injuries or helping people continue doing what they love, she also has experience in pediatrics and prenatal, and really enjoys working with children, from 1 month to 17 years old. She loves supporting those who are expecting throughout their pregnancy, whether it be back pain, hip pain or overall wellness.
Dr. Ally returned to Seattle in 2020 to practice and joined Flourish in 2022. When Dr. Ally is outside of the office, she enjoys running, spending time with her family, and playing with her pup, Franklin.

Dr. Rachel Whyte
Dr. Rachel is a doc originally from Canada who has a passion for self-care and functional movement. Her love for dance and weight-lifting is what led her to study exercise science and physical fitness. From there she decided to pursue a career in Chiropractic medicine so she could help others reach their fitness goals, prevent and rehabilitate injuries, improve function, and get them back to doing what they love. She understands that wellness is a journey and not a destination and lifelong self-care is of the utmost importance. What feeds her love for this field the most is seeing her patients get excited about their health journey, watching them take back control of their lives, and feel confident in their bodies’ abilities, whatever that looks like for them.
It’s important to Dr. Rachel that when you’re in her care you feel safe, respected, and cared for. She knows that seeing a chiropractor for the first time can be intimidating and good communication and a safe space are some of the ways she helps mitigate this. Dr. Rachel meets the patient where they are that day and delivers individualized care with a focus on restoring function, decreasing symptomatology, and optimizing quality of life.
Dr. Rachel studied Chiropractic at the University of Western States where she graduated with degrees in Human Biology and Chiropractic Medicine. She spent her undergraduate studying Kinesiology at the University of Alberta with a focus on exercise science and physical fitness.
Dr. Rachel uses diversified adjusting techniques for joint dysfunction in both the spine and extremities. She also utilizes soft tissue manipulative therapy techniques such as the pin and stretch technique, fascial scraping, and cupping therapy. Dr. Rachel’s treatment room is equipped with a flexion-distraction table which helps decompress the lumbar spine and alleviate pain, especially for those with disc injuries and/or lumbar nerve root compression. She also prescribes rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle modifications so you can stay out of pain and take your health into your own hands at home. Aside from everyday aches and pains, some common sports injuries she treats include plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, ankle sprains, and whiplash injuries, amongst others.

Dr. Kelly Huynh
Dr. Kelly is a chiropractor with enthusiasm for holistic health and a commitment to helping others live their best lives. At the heart of her practice is a belief in the body’s innate ability to heal itself when given the proper support and alignment.
Her journey into chiropractic care was deeply influenced by personal experiences watching her loved ones struggle with health challenges. She sees how chiropractic has benefitted the lives of her family and friends mental and physical health and wants to share that with her community.
Dr. Kelly earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Parker University and is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) to advance her knowledge in working with families and individuals of all ages. She primarily uses Diversified and Thompson techniques alongside trigger point and myofascial release therapies to promote proper healing. Dr. Kelly is also thrilled to offer Torque Release Technique (TRT) – a gentle and precise adjusting method that focuses on restoring balance to the nervous system by addressing the root cause of discomfort and dysfunction.
She commonly helps with headaches, TMJ, extremity injuries, and dysautonomia. Every day, Dr. Kelly sees how physical and emotional stressors can affect the body, and she strives to help as many people as possible become the best version of themselves through chiropractic.

Karla U.
Asia Haley
Asia joins Flourish after working reception at a neighboring vet clinic. While she loves animals, she was drawn to Flourish’s calm, stress-free environment (who doesn’t love a massage?!) Whether it be sharing what you cooked for dinner or the places you’re traveling or walking to, she loves the opportunity to connect and interact with the compassionate, beautiful people here.
At Flourish, she hopes to learn more about insurance and the billing aspects of health insurance. It can be confusing for all of us! When she’s not at Flourish, she likes to play with her black cat, Poki, design stickers for her small business as well as journal, stroll in the city, eat at local restaurants, and play video games. She looks forward to adding to your experience at Flourish!
Dr. Kelly Perona
Dr. Kelly focuses on intentional healing and pain relief using hot stones, adjustments, focused massage, and stretches to encourage movement in the body, as well as preventive/self-care, posture and general wellbeing.
She is Webster-certified and has studied in the most painless, effective treatment methods available which involve traditional hands-on adjustments or instrument.
From Dr. Kelly: I love connecting with people and holding a supportive space for their needs. I started school to become a dentist with the intent to have a career in helping people. Three years into my schooling, I changed my profession to chiropractic after a car accident so I could focus on treating muscle and joint problems naturally. I love witnessing the exponential improvement chiropractic and massage can bring to whiplash or strains from MVAs, bike accidents, or other collisions. And doing so in a compassionate, validating space.
I have helped musicians, people who bind or brave MTF or FTM surgeries, runners, yoga enthusiasts, people in the restaurant industry, hairstylists, and those with the ever-elusive desk jobs. My mission is to help people live life to their fullest potential. Sometimes that is being able to work throughout the day without pain. Sometimes that is getting out of bed and brushing your teeth. There is no judgement and I am humbled and appreciative to have someone trust me to help them in their goals.
I am familiar with a large variety of body movements and mechanics and have plenty of experience with my own injuries. I also understand that healing from an injury can be difficult because you don’t want to take time off from activity. I don’t want people to settle for merely being out of pain for typical daily activities. Healing properly, to me, means being able to get back into your personal level of activity without discomfort. I’d love to help.

Understanding Scoliosis Care and Treatment
Scoliosis is usually diagnosed in early adolescence, but sometimes it’s not identified until adulthood. You may have had a mild case of scoliosis that went unnoticed and never caused problems. But as your spine ages, you may develop back pain, or your posture starts to slump, and that’s when you “suddenly” develop scoliosis.
Surgical treatments are reserved for people with severe scoliosis. Mild to moderate scoliosis is usually treated with exercise and physical therapy and often includes chiropractic care.
Though chiropractic care can’t fix or cure your scoliosis, it can relieve your pain and restore some mobility.
What Is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine, typically to the left or right of the body. In more severe cases, scoliosis can make it difficult to stand up straight, walk, and even breathe.
Conditions like muscular dystrophy can cause scoliosis, but many times, there’s no apparent medical cause.
Benefits of Scoliosis Care
If left untreated, even mild scoliosis can cause chronic back pain. As people age, gravity takes a toll on the spinal column, and the spinal discs can herniate and degenerate, causing everything from mild discomfort to more severe pain. Chiropractic care for scoliosis can improve how you feel and function:
- Drug-free pain relief. Over-the-counter pain medications will help you manage pain, but chiropractic care can provide drug-free pain relief.
- Prevent long-term problems. Chiropractic care can keep chronic problems at bay by strengthening the muscles and joints in the back and hips.
- Less invasive. Chiropractic care isn’t as invasive as surgery or other forms of scoliosis treatment and still provides long-term relief.
