Dr. Devon James takes a highly individualized, integrative approach to chiropractic care. Rather than relying on one technique or focusing only on the area where symptoms are felt, she draws from extensive training in structural, neurological, biochemical, nutritional, emotional, energetic, rehabilitative, cranial, meridian-based, and reproductive health approaches.

Applied Kinesiology was one of the foundations of Dr. James’s training, but it represents only one part of the broader clinical toolbox she has developed throughout her career. Her work has continued to evolve through advanced coursework, mentorship, clinical experience, and the integration of multiple systems into her own individualized approach to care.

Her training and clinical approaches include:

Applied Kinesiology (AK) A clinical assessment system that incorporates manual muscle testing with neurological, structural, biochemical, and functional evaluation. Dr. James may use AK as part of her assessment process to help identify patterns of dysfunction throughout the body.

Total Body Modification (TBM) Developed by Dr. Victor Frank, TBM is a comprehensive system incorporating muscle-response testing, specific body points, neurological and structural corrections, nutritional approaches, and additional techniques designed to evaluate patterns involving physiology, nervous-system regulation, sensitivities, and emotional stress.

Total Kinesiology (TK) Developed by Dr. Timothy Francis, Total Kinesiology expands upon Applied Kinesiology and incorporates advanced neurological, structural, biochemical, nutritional, and energetic assessment and treatment strategies.

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) NET is a mind-body technique focused on the physiology of unresolved stress. It combines muscle testing, meridian concepts, and specific physical corrections while exploring stress responses associated with past or present experiences.

Creative Emotional Wizardry (CEW) Developed by Dr. Randall Robirds, CEW uses muscle-response testing to explore emotional, energetic, metaphysical, and spiritual patterns that may be associated with physiological or physical stress.

Bio-Dynamic Resonance Technique® (BDR) BDR is an energetic technique that uses specialized informational vials together with muscle-response testing to identify and work with energetic patterns involving physiological systems and emotional stress.

Evolutionary Quantum Healing Technique (EQHT) Developed by Dr. Randall J. Frank, EQHT uses specific body points, muscle testing, and energetically programmed vials within a system designed to support communication and regulation among neurological and physiological systems.

Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) Developed by Dr. Dick Versendaal, CRA uses muscle-response testing and specific reflex points to evaluate energetic patterns associated with organs, glands, nutritional factors, structural stress, and emotional influences.

Quantum Neurology® Developed by Dr. George Gonzalez, Quantum Neurology is a neurological rehabilitation system that evaluates specific aspects of nervous-system function and incorporates nerve-specific stimulation, exercises, and low-level red and infrared light techniques.

Lebowitz Technique / Protocol Developed by Dr. Michael Lebowitz, this biochemical and nutritional system incorporates manual muscle testing, specialized test vials, and targeted nutritional strategies. It may be used to explore patterns involving digestive and microbial balance, food reactions, environmental exposures, chemicals, metals, and other physiological stressors.

ThetaHealing® ThetaHealing is a spiritual and energetic technique that uses meditation, intuitive inquiry, connection with the Creator of All That Is, and belief work to explore subconscious patterns and support emotional and energetic change.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) DNS is a rehabilitation and movement approach based on developmental kinesiology and the way the nervous system organizes posture, breathing, stabilization, and movement. Dr. James may incorporate DNS principles into neurological assessment, rehabilitation, and movement retraining.

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) SOT is a chiropractic system that evaluates relationships among the pelvis, spine, cranium, nervous system, and dural system. Dr. James incorporates selected SOT concepts alongside cranial approaches learned through Applied Kinesiology, TBM, and other training.

Cranial Assessment & Correction Techniques Dr. James has trained in cranial assessment and correction through multiple systems, including Applied Kinesiology, Total Body Modification, and Sacro Occipital Technique. These methods may be used to evaluate and address cranial mechanics and related neurological or structural patterns.

Mercier Therapy Mercier Therapy is a hands-on pelvic and abdominal therapy approach developed by Dr. Jennifer Mercier. It focuses on pelvic mobility, circulation, soft-tissue restrictions, reproductive health, and pelvic function.

Certified Acupuncture & Meridian-Based Techniques Dr. James is certified in acupuncture and completed 100 hours of dedicated acupuncture training. She incorporates acupuncture, meridian pathways, and specific acupuncture points into her integrative approach to care. Depending on the patient and clinical situation, treatment may involve traditional needling or non-needle techniques using acupuncture and meridian points.

Clinical Nutrition, Food Sensitivities & Biochemical Assessment Nutrition is an important component of Dr. James’s work. She has completed extensive continuing education in clinical nutrition and may evaluate dietary patterns, nutritional needs, food sensitivities, and food-related reactivity using clinical history, muscle-response testing, laboratory findings, and other assessment methods.

Laboratory Testing & Optimal Bloodwork Analysis When appropriate, Dr. James may order laboratory testing and evaluate results using both conventional reference ranges and optimal-range analysis. Laboratory findings may be incorporated alongside the patient’s history, examination, symptoms, nutrition, and other clinical findings to better understand patterns involving metabolism, nutritional status, inflammation, hormonal function, and overall physiology.

Hormonal & Reproductive Health Dr. James has completed additional education in hormonal physiology, hormone balancing, menstrual and reproductive health, and the relationships among hormones, nutrition, stress, and whole-body function.

Animal Magnetism / Mesmerism Dr. James has completed specialized training in Animal Magnetism, also known as Mesmerism, a historical mind-body and energetic practice that predates modern hypnosis. Her training includes techniques used to facilitate altered states of awareness, focused responsiveness, and deeper mind-body work.

Homeopathy & Alchemical Concepts Dr. James is also familiar with homeopathic and alchemical principles and may draw from these concepts when they complement the broader integrative framework being used with a patient.

Dr. James’s Integrative Techniques Through years of advanced training and clinical practice, Dr. James has developed and refined her own integrative methods, combining elements from the many systems she has studied based on the individual patient and the patterns identified during care.

Treatment may also incorporate chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue techniques, neurological rehabilitation, movement and stabilization work, nutritional recommendations, foot orthotics, and other individualized therapies.

Because every patient is different, Dr. James does not use every technique with every person. Her approach is to draw from her extensive training and clinical experience to determine which combination of techniques is most appropriate for the individual in front of her.

I’m Cassidy Mangan, PT, DPT, I studied Biology at Purdue University and later earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO. I have had the great opportunity to see a variety of cases from orthopedic, neurological and pelvic floor conditions these past couple of years. I am passionate about the whole body approach and am not there to just assess that one area of pain you are experiencing, but I want to investigate how your whole body is playing a role in regard to your pain. I am very passionate about educating my patients on their pelvic health to allow someone to be more connected to their body. I find joy in building relationships with my patients to see where their goals lie so they feel comfortable to advocate for their own health. The health care system can feel frustrating and I hope I can provide a place where people feel listened to and taken care of. I have received my pelvic floor therapy continuing education from Herman and Wallace. Since then I have treated patients with a variety of conditions such as, incontinence, constipation, pelvic floor dysfunction, hypermobility, gender reassignment surgeries, etc. Since then I have realized that every patient is so different and I try to see them as an individual apart from their diagnosis to help me get to the root problem. I recently have been certified in Dry Needling from Integrative Dry Needling as well as Visceral Mobilization from Herman and Wallace, which have been nice tools to incorporate into sessions. I am always looking for new continuing education classes to build my knowledge base and provide my patients with better care. I look forward to serving the Hinsdale area and the Within Reach Healing Community.

My journey with yoga began more than 20 years ago, when I was in my mid-20s and searching for a way to quiet my busy mind, strengthen my body, and feel more grounded within myself.

At the time, I was a runner. I loved the release that running gave me, especially that feeling of calm and clarity that came after pushing myself and reaching that familiar “runner’s high.” But as a deep thinker and feeler, I knew I was looking for something more. I wanted a way to not only move my body, but to connect with my spirit, calm my nervous system, and find some quiet within an often very busy mind.

I found that on my yoga mat.

Over the years, yoga has become so much more than a physical practice for me. It has become a place where I can release the stressors of the day, slow down, breathe, reconnect with myself, and come back to the present moment. It has helped me find balance in my mind, body, and spirit and has given me a deeper awareness of who I am and what I need.

When I first started practicing, I was very focused on doing everything “right.” I wanted to improve, understand proper alignment, and feel like I was progressing with every practice. Over time, yoga taught me something very different: there is no perfect practice, and there doesn’t need to be.

Some days I feel strong. Some days I need to slow down. Some days I want to challenge myself, and other days I simply need to breathe. Learning to give myself grace on my mat has taught me to give myself more grace in life, too. I have evolved as a person in much the same way I have evolved as a yogi—learning to listen, reflect, surrender, and appreciate where I am rather than constantly focusing on where I think I should be.

I have been married for 18 years and a mother of two energetic boys (10 and 14). I have also been an elementary school teacher for 25 years, and I have come to realize how deeply my yoga practice has influenced the way I parent and teach. Yoga has reminded me that every person comes to the mat with their own experiences, strengths, challenges, and needs. My children and the students in my classroom are no different.

I truly believe in getting to know my students as individuals and meeting them where they are. I strive to create a comfortable environment where children feel safe to be their authentic selves, take risks, make mistakes, and develop a growth mindset. I want them to recognize their own growth, celebrate their successes, release some of the fear and anxiety that can come with learning, and take time to reflect on who they are becoming.

My yoga practice has changed the way I teach children, and it has also inspired me to bring that same philosophy to my yoga students.

I want you to feel good in your own body. I want you to celebrate the small victories, notice how you are growing, and understand that every practice will look and feel different. Most importantly, I want you to learn that sometimes we need to work hard and sometimes we need to surrender—to let go of expectations, quiet the inner critic, and simply be present.

My specialty is Vinyasa yoga. This practice allows me to combine mindful movement, breath, strength, and presence. I love the way this practice can help us reconnect with our bodies while creating space in our minds.

I am also learning to fall in love with Restorative Yoga. There is something beautiful about beginning a week by slowing down, becoming still, and creating clarity for what lies ahead. Restorative practice has reminded me that rest is not something we have to earn—it is an important part of caring for ourselves.

As I continue to grow in my own practice, I hope to incorporate more restorative yoga and meditation into my teaching. I want to offer opportunities not only to move and strengthen, but also to pause, breathe, listen, and simply be.

By nature, I am a teacher. I am also someone who is deeply tuned in to the energy around me. I hope that my calm and patient presence creates a space where you can exhale, feel supported, and perhaps find a little more calm within yourself.

Life can be challenging, and I believe we all need places where we can feel connected, accepted, and free to simply be ourselves. My hope is to create that kind of community on the mat—a place where you can come exactly as you are, without judgment, and leave feeling a little more connected to yourself and to others.

I am passionate about nature, self-healing, meaningful connection, and the lifelong process of becoming more self-aware. Yoga has been such an important part of that journey for me, and I feel incredibly grateful to now share it with others.

I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Simply Yoga in Lemont, deepening both my knowledge and my personal practice. After more than two decades on my own mat, I am excited to help others discover what yoga can mean for them.

You don’t have to be flexible. You don’t have to have experience. You don’t have to get every pose “right.”

Just come as you are.

My hope is that, together, we can move, breathe, reflect, let go, and create a practice that feels like your own.

Because yoga isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about becoming more connected to the person you already are.

My journey with yoga began more than 20 years ago, when I was in my mid-20s and searching for a w... Read More
