Empowering Alameda

Our Commitment to Your Health and Well-Being

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.

Meet the team

Dr. Brendan Collins-Bride

Chiropractor/Owner/Father

Brendan is the founder of Anam Cara Chiropractic, where families receive high-quality care focused on the body’s operating system: the nervous system. His mission is simple: to make true healthcare accessible, consistent, and deeply personal.

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 reshaped 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, not just survive.

This isn’t surface-level work. It is deep, nervous system-focused care that honors each person’s journey home to themselves.

Tatiana Mercedes

Office Manager/Owner/Mother

Tatiana fosters a supportive environment for mothers and their children through resources, mother circles, and community events.

As a practitioner of integrative bodywork, Tatiana supports clients in tuning into the deeper layers of their being: physical, emotional, mental, and energetic. Her approach blends modalities such as Thai massage, Swedish, deep tissue, Reiki, yoga, breathwork, and meditation to help bring balance, awareness, and alignment to the whole system.

Tatiana's work is rooted in a deep curiosity about the human experience—how perception, emotion, and energy shape health and personal stories. She does not believe in fixing; she believes in facilitating. Through gentle presence, skillful touch, and shared trust, she helps clients access their innate capacity to restore, recalibrate, and thrive.

Our Values

Our chiropractic care focuses on finding the root cause an
providing the care required to address the cause.

Integrity

We show up with honesty and presence. What we say is what we do. This is care you can trust—rooted in truth, not performance.

Accessibility

Everyone deserves high-quality care. Our membership model is built to make consistent nervous system support available to entire families, not just individuals.

Compassion

Pain is not weakness. We meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk with you toward healing at your own pace.

Clinical Experience

With over a decade of experience, we combine precision and care. Our work is steady, intentional, and built on proven expertise.

Joy

Healing isn't just about relief. It's about freedom, connection, and rediscovering the joy that is your natural state.
