It isn’t body and mind. Your bodymind is inseparable from itself.

Healing is not about going back to where you were, it is about becoming greater than you can possibly imagine.
At Cora, we honor your body as both energy and matter. Our Evanston healing clinic is designed to promote the well-being of your body’s interconnectivity, respecting the relationships between physical, mental, and emotional health.
If you break a bone or dislocate your knee, you need a healer who can address your body as the physical structure it is. However, that injury likely carried with it fear, anxiety, even anger. We understand that to engage in true healing, you need to fully integrate the stored emotional experience of trauma.
Dr. Meggie does this using Bio-Geometric Integration (BGI), a specific approach within chiropractic. She observes your body’s physical injury and how the emotional experiance of the injury is also present in your body. She, appreciates the complex interplay between the experience of being a physical body and an emotional being.
Our BGI solutions acknowledge that energy and emotions exist as physical manifestations in the structure of joints, muscles, and organs. While we provide a healing experience grounded in physical medicine, we also focus heavily on how your injury affects your energy fields.
Our care is provided to all communities and lifestyles. Dr. Meggie has taken numerous courses and trainings on safe, noninvasive BGI healing strategies. She’s also taken courses by Peter Levine, furthering her education in trauma-informed care, and with Howard Brown, highlighting gender-affirming care.
If you’ve been injured or suffer from chronic pain, we’re here to ensure you receive the comprehensive care your bodymind deserves.
BGI is a form of chiropractic care. However, traditional chiropractic reduces subluxations or misalignments by focusing solely on the injury, which is typically compression of the spine or a joint, and how that injury may be affected by soft tissue imbalances.
Chiropractic solutions, while considered conservative compared to most other healthcare strategies, often include manual or instrument-assisted methods that realign joints through a physical and intense thrust to the affected area.
Bio-geometric integration utilizes chiropractic principles but achieves results differently. By incorporating how an injury affects your body’s geometry and energetic system, we treat physical, biochemical, or psychological distress in unison with advanced, gentle, and effective techniques.
What is Bio-Geometric Integration?
Network Spinal Analysis, also known as Network Chiropractic, is a technique that uses light touch to encourage the body's self-healing properties. Dr. Meggie applies soft pressure to targeted points on the spine that engage the nervous system and relieve tension.
Network Spinal Analysis (NSA)
Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (BEST)
BEST is a conservative, mind-body healing method used to balance and synchronize the body's bioenergetic systems. It recognizes that physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances often disrupt the body's natural energy flow.
Dr. Meggie uses gentle pressure on specific points to achieve comfort and symmetry throughout the body. She will also provide lifestyle insight to improve sleep, exercise, and stress management.
NeuroEmotional Technique (NET)
Another mind-body healing therapy, NET, uses muscle testing and acupressure points to identify and address unresolved emotional stresses, often stemming from past traumas.
We aim to find the root cause of your stress or the negative emotional complexes kept in the body. Dr. Meggie will use gentle pressure on acupuncture points to prompt the release of the stored emotion.
Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a specialized adjustment used during pregnancy that focuses on safely and gently aligning the pelvis. This method relieves tension in the pelvic muscles and ligaments, which can improve the baby's position and reduce the mother's discomfort.
We aim to find the root cause of your stress or the negative emotional complexes kept in the body. Dr. Meggie will use gentle pressure on acupuncture points to prompt the release of the stored emotion.

Who Can BGI Help?
The Cora process is different than any chiropractic care you’ve received. Dr. Meggie uses hands-on modalities with slight touch and minimal contact yet achieves substantial results.
After a discovery discussion that details your past and present, we will create a program that delivers safe, natural, empowering solutions.
Typically, you will receive gentle contacts along your spine and then be given time alone to allow your bodymind to integrate and respond to it before the technique is delivered again. This proven method honors the body and mind rather than rushing or forcing you into a response.
We don’t utilize any invasive or high-impact thrusting methods, opting for services that require no trauma or force.
If you’re ready to get the quality of life you deserve, we’ll help you get there using our innovative approach that reinforces the connectivity of the mind, body, and spirit.

Cora Health is incredible! I found Dr. Meggie two years ago when I was pregnant and in desperate pain. She garnered such amazing results; after just one session I saw huge improvements. She helped me through a full recovery and my body felt back to normal. Since then, I go to Dr. Meggie for help recovering from any kind of physical trauma and I now, because I am expecting my third child, I see her weekly during pregnancy! Thank you for all that you do to help!

The doctors here are incredible. I have visited them with extreme back pain and gotten total relief. The soft touch and gentle body work truly works wonders. Highly recommend!

I’ve been working with the chiropractors here for several years and I am so amazed by my body’s ability to heal itself now. I used to get major stiffness in my neck and lose mobility for days at a time, but since coming here it rarely happens and when it does, I’ve been able to breath through it and open it up on my own. I’ve also felt an improvement with my sleep, headaches and anxiety. Go see Meggie and tell her what’s bothering you.

I have been going to Chiropractic First for many years. All the doctors are wonderful and have helped me in so many ways. In addition to helping with back pain they have helped me avoid foot surgery for a painful foot condition, made my second pregnancy so much easier and less painful than my first and helped with jaw pain from TMJ. Truly Amazing!
