Our Team
Dr. Heather Hunt, D.C.
Founder and Owner
Dr. Heather Hunt, DC is a second-generation chiropractor and has been in practice since 2009. She is dedicated to helping individuals achieve and maintain their optimum vitality, especially during key life transitions. Initially drawn to maternity chiropractic through her own experiences with pregnancy, Dr. Hunt recognized the overwhelming presence of fear-based messaging around women's health. She trusted her body but saw how difficult it was to stay empowered in a culture that often promotes doubt and fear. This realization sparked her commitment to providing comprehensive care that supports patients not only during pregnancy but throughout all pivotal stages of life.
Dr. Hunt focuses on transformative life moments such as infancy, childhood, puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging. She believes these are times when individuals have the greatest potential to either harness their vitality or experience setbacks without proper support. Her approach integrates chiropractic care with Functional Medicine, utilizing blood tests to assess your comprehensive level of health. This Baseline Blood Test includes the immune system, inflammation markers, hormone/adrenal, iron/B vitamin/blood sugar/liver/kidney/vitamin D levels and other critical biomarkers.
She is also launching a new model of health called Vitality Medicine, which centralizes ‘vitality’ as the main outcome marker and encompasses new ways of viewing the body in a holistic manner to best achieve this.
By combining data-driven insights with hands-on care, Dr. Heather ensures her patients are supported in their overall vitality, helping them feel balanced, energized, and resilient.
When not in the office, Dr. Heather can be found traipsing about in nature with her husband and three sons. Whether it is whitewater kayaking, rafting, hiking, mountain biking, back-country skiing, or just a casual walk, she revives and connects in these moments in order to bring her full vitality to her clinic.
Dr. Annie Maria Aguilar, D.C.
Dr. Annie, DC, grew up in Nevada County, where she developed a passion for movement through dance. This led her to study dance, yoga, and somatics in New York, San Francisco, Vermont, Minneapolis, and South America, deepening her understanding of the body and its capacity for artistry, resilience, and healing.
Her approach to chiropractic care blends this embodied awareness with the scientific principles of chiropractic, focusing on brain-body connection, mobility, nervous system health, and injury recovery. Dr. Annie's treatment method combines chiropractic adjustments, craniosacral therapy, movement education, and functional medicine to support patients of all ages achieve sustainable health and well-being.
Dr. Annie earned her undergraduate degree in neuroscience from Middlebury College and later trained as a birth and postpartum doula, while also teaching movement in early childhood education. She graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern Health Sciences University, where she received extensive training in evidence-based chiropractic care and prenatal/postpartum care.
Returning to Nevada City as a healthcare practitioner has been deeply rewarding for Dr. Annie. She is honored to work under the mentorship of Dr. Heather Hunt, DC, and Dr. Dale Jacobson, DC. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Annie enjoys teaching weekly yoga and strength classes at Sweat Nevada County.
With a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise, Dr. Annie is committed to helping her patients to deepen their body awareness, gain freedom of movement, and feel vital through the lifespan.
