Integrative Chiropractic Care in San Leandro
Doctor of Chiropractic & Somatic Breathwork Practitioner
About the Practitioner
Dr. Bastable is a dedicated chiropractor and Reichian breathwork therapist with roots in deep embodiment practices, gentle chiropractic techniques, craniosacral therapy, Kundalini yoga, functional health, herbology, and trauma-informed care.
Dr. Bastable brings over 15 years of dedicated study and clinical practice to her work in the Bay Area. Her journey began with a deep curiosity about the interconnectedness of physiological health and emotional wellbeing.
Having trained extensively in Reichian somatic methods and functional diagnostic nutrition, she bridges the gap between traditional chiropractic adjustments and complex nervous system mapping.
Her practice is built on the belief that true recovery happens when the body is respected as a coherent, living archive of experience. She attributes her blend of skill and talents to her innate intuition, life long passion of human physiology, and years of mentorship from masterful Reichian Therapists and Doctors of Chiropractic.

Facilitating deep nervous system regulation and emotional release through guided conscious breathing techniques designed to release stored tension.
Kundalini Yoga Methods
Kundalini yoga uses breath, movement, and focused awareness to support spinal health and nervous system regulation. Gentle spinal waves, targeted postures, and rhythmic breathing help hydrate the discs, mobilize the spine, and release stored tension.
Functional Health

Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on technique that eases tension in the muscles and connective tissue. By working slowly and precisely, it helps unwind long-held patterns of pain and restriction.

Dr. Bastable is great. She obviously knows what she is doing as a chiropractor, takes the time to find out what's going on, and is both professional and warm. I leave feeling well cared for, and highly recommend her.

Dr Bastable is one of the most kind and considerate chiropractors I have ever encountered. Since I have scoliosis, it is hard for me to trust chiropractors but Dr Bastable assured me that she would be gentle and she was. She took her time answering my questions and helped me understand my body structure better, which gave me long term relief because I now understand how to better care for my body. She is easy to talk to and I really appreciate her work.

Dr. Katie is a true healer, and I am incredibly grateful for having found her. For several months, I had been struggling with chronic lower back pain, as well as alignment and postural issues that were significantly impacting my mobility. From my very first visit, Dr. Katie's kind and calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. She has a remarkable ability to identify where I am holding tension and to make incredibly effective adjustments that provide immediate relief.
