Dr. Shaina Nolley, DC, ACN, FMACP
Doctor of Chiropractic, Applied Clinical Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Academy Certified Practitioner
Hi, I’m Dr. Shaina Nolley!
I grew up in southern Indiana and later moved to Chicago, where I played collegiate tennis and earned my B.A. in Music Business. My early years were filled with creativity and movement; from art, music, and dance to theater and tennis. Chicago became home for eight years, and yes, I’m still a loyal Chicago sports fan.
My journey into chiropractic began after navigating my own health challenges. Experiencing how transformative this kind of care could be inspired me to move to the Bay Area to pursue my Doctorate at Life Chiropractic College West. I graduated with honors, immersing myself in as many techniques as possible; and it was there that I also discovered my passion for functional medicine. To me, combining chiropractic and functional medicine felt like a natural harmony: supporting the nervous system while addressing the root causes of health challenges.
This work is deeply personal to me. As a first-generation student, I saw how the standard American diet and conventional care model failed my family; leaving many without real solutions to reclaim their health. Those experiences gave me a clear mission: to create a different kind of care. One that educates, empowers, and supports people in rewriting their health story.
Today, I partner with patients to help them understand their bodies, reconnect with their health, and build a strong foundation for the future they want. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and rooted in the belief that everyone has the power to change the trajectory of their well-being.

Dr. Saira Burney, DC
Pediatric and Family Chiropractor
Hi there!
I’m Dr. Saira. I was born in Colombia (para mi comunidad Latina, todos bienvenidos!) and moved to the States with my family when I was 8 years old. I have lived in a lot of places, but I consider Houston my home. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Houston, I started to develop a lot of digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, crippling anxiety, brain fog, the list goes on. Pretty much, I was a mess! I saw specialist after specialist and no one could tell me what was going on. They just prescribed me a number of pills and sent me home. I refused to accept this as my destiny and looked for further answers.
I came across chiropractic through a video online where I learned how the nervous system plays a vital role in how our bodies function everyday, and how chiropractic adjustments help balance our nervous system. After watching video after video and seeing patient testimonials online, it made too much sense to not give it a try! After a few months of consistent care I saw an incredible change in my body. No more anxiety or brain fog, my digestion got stronger, and even my hormonal levels weren't in a state of stress anymore. I was in complete amazement! I then realized that this was my calling and I enrolled at Life Chiropractic College West in the hopes of being able to help someone like chiropractic helped me.
My goal is to educate people on how chiropractic can not only help with ache's and pains, but ensures that our body's nervous system is able to relax, heal, and adapt. All which are vitally important in order for us to feel healthy and stay healthy. By that, I mean sleep better, move better, have more energy, feel stronger, do the things you love without having your health holding you back. I refused to believe that medication was the only thing that was going to help me get better again, and I want to help other's know that they can explore more holistic and safer options before resulting to medical intervention.

Andrea Chiba
Patient Care Advocate
Hi, I'm Andrea!
I'm passionate about supporting others in their health and wellness journeys, currently working alongside the incredible Dr. Nolley and Dr. Burney in their practice.
Originally born in Slovakia, I've called Austin, TX home since 1994, where I live with my wonderful husband, sweet teenage son, and three cats who rule the house. After earning my degree in Textiles and Apparel from The University of Texas Austin, I spent many years in the tech industry as a recruiter, helping companies from enterprise-level to start-ups build and scale their engineering teams.
Seeking work that felt more aligned with my values and desire to make a meaningful impact, I followed my heart into the health and wellness field. This transition allows me to serve others who are prioritizing their wellbeing in ways that truly matter to both them and me.
As a Reiki Master and Sound practitioner, I love helping people find their center and feel more grounded. Drawing on my textiles background, I also teach private sewing instruction to beginning sewers and am working on creating a small made-to-order clothing line using naturally-dyed fabrics.
Outside of the office, you'll find me attempting to stick to a consistent running routine, fumbling through ukulele lessons, or enjoying a glass of natural wine. I believe in a service-oriented, people-centered approach and enjoy collaborating to foster mindful solutions that create lasting, positive change.
