Anthony Pape

Anthony’s a Korean adoptee who grew up in Long Island, New York and moved out to California in 1996. His interest in natural medicine began with getting chiropractic and acupuncture when he was a teenager for asthma, bronchitis, and seasonal allergies.

He’s also worked consistently alongside chiropractor’s, massage therapists and Personal trainers under one office.
