Get to Know Anam Cara Chiropractic

Anam Cara means "Soul Friend" in the Celtic/Gaelic tradition—a person who acts as a spiritual guide and companion on your journey.We support individuals and families who are ready to go beyond managing symptoms and to expand the understanding of their nervous systems.

At Anam Cara Chiropractic, we believe true healthcare is consistent, accessible, and deeply relational. Our work centers the body's operating system—because when the nervous system is supported, the whole person begins to heal. With that comes a ripple effect, as each individual heals, their family, community and lineage heals.

We believe healing is possible when you're seen, supported, and consistently cared for. And we believe everyone deserves that kind of care.

About Dr. Brendan Collins-Bride

Brendan came to this work through lived experience. As a teenager, he struggled with chronic pain, anxiety, and a body that felt out of sync. A local chiropractor helped him not only find relief but reconnect with the innate ability his body had to heal. That experience changed his life and sparked a commitment to serve others in the same way.

Today, Brendan works with families in his hometown of Alameda, California and beyond, offering care that is rooted in compassion, clinical excellence, and consistency. His focus is helping people feel safe in their bodies again, process the stress they’re carrying, and receive the support they need to thrive. This isn’t surface-level work. It is deep, nervous system-focused care that honors each person’s journey home to themselves.
