Dr. Tristan Santiago Maceiras has had an incredible journey to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. Growing up in Austin, Texas, Madrid, Spain and Mexico City, Mexico, allowed him to develop a unique open minded perspective on the world. After receiving his B.S., Dr. Santiago began exploring his passions working as a veterinary technician for various nonprofits and animal hospitals. He later received a scholarship to work with a marine conservation group, moving to Tulum, Mexico to study the health of the reef system and becoming a Scuba instructor. He began teaching diving, marine science, and English to the local community. After a few years he returned home to Austin and continued his passion for scuba diving and teaching, certifying students and opening his own swim school.

Searching for his next adventure and wanting to continue to challenge himself he returned to school graduating Summa Cum Laude from University of Western States here in Portland, Oregon with a degree in Chiropractic. He has since been committed to providing a thorough holistic patient experience. He is passionate about educating his patients and helping them understand what their body is going through and why they are experiencing pain. He works with clients to improve their current physical state of being while also addressing how to prevent future injury and empowering them to take control of their health and well being. Dr. Santiago, uses a multifaceted approach to caring for each of his patients that aims to improve functional ability and reduce the imbalances that may be contributing to their aches and pains. He draws on his experience as a swim instructor, and lifelong passion for an active lifestyle to inspire patients to take an active role in their recovery. He is dedicated to helping those he meets, assisting them to reach their goals and become their best self.
In his free time you can find him enjoying all the great outdoor activities the Pacific Northwest has to offer from snowboarding Mt Hood, to rock climbing at Smith Rock and scuba diving the Oregon and Washington coast. You might also find him enjoying the hiking trails with his family and pup. Portland and the Pacific Northwest have so much to offer, I hope to see you out there!

Dr. Morgan Ackermann graduated from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon in 2022. They have lived in Oregon their whole life and have a deep love for this beautiful state, and a passion for helping its people. They first learned about chiropractic when their mother started receiving chiropractic care for her chronic low back pain, and when they looked into it further, quickly decided that this was the right career path for them. Chiropractic medicine provides an opportunity for them to help and heal the people around them in a non-invasive, holistic way, and help each patient achieve their individual goals and reach the best quality of life for them, whether they are dealing with an acute injury or a chronic condition. They have a particular passion for working with the queer LGBTQ+ population, those with a disability, and patients struggling with obesity. They also love teaching patients about what’s going on with their bodies and how they can help themselves at home alongside in-clinic care, and love nothing more than when patients come with questions or thoughts based on their own research to discuss.
In their free time, you can often find them walking in state parks, doing martial arts, or playing the piano either at home or in any public place where one is available for the public. They also love the Clackamas Repertory Theater, and usually get season tickets with their mom, having been a theater kid in high school themself.

Meridith Regan

Meridith has been an Oregon licensed massage therapist since 2005 with a passion for helping people navigate their varied health concerns. She maintained a private massage practice in Corvallis for 15 years and then in 2017 started working towards a nursing degree to further her education in the health sciences. She has worked as a registered nurse since 2020 in the areas of oncology, hospice and orthopedic trauma surgery. Becoming a nurse has given her a deeper understanding of the complexities of medicine and pathophysiology, thus allowing her to be a greater resource for her massage clients. Her massage technique incorporates deep tissue, Swedish, trigger point, myofascial release, sports, reflexology, cupping, and pregnancy massage techniques. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family and her dogs, gardening on her 8 acre farm, DIY projects, woodworking, cooking, hiking, biking, swimming, surfing and traveling to new places.
