Bio Geometric Integration (B.G.I)
BGI was discovered and developed by Sue Brown, DC. It is a specialized approach of chiropractic care, performed by licensed Doctors of Chiropractic, that is based upon a geometric model of the body, and incorporates concepts of
tensegrity, biodynamics, and force dynamics,
to allow Chiropractors to work with the body as an integrated whole, refining the adjustment, and increasing the overall effectiveness. It is a way to honor where the patterns of adaptation in the body come from, and understanding how to help the nervous system to integrate them. Additional information can be found on the website of BGI headquarters: What is BGI?
Craniopathy
The bones of the skull and the membranes and fluids within it have a tensegrity and rhythmic motion--a "cranial rhythmic impulse." Which is essential for proper cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. Any restriction or imbalance in it could intervene with the CSF function and lead to a variety of health concerns, including headaches, ear canal narrowing, sinus issues, neck pain, jaw problems (TMJ), and even systemic issues. We use gentle, hands-on techniques to detect and correct these perceived imbalances. Important for all grown-ups and crucial for little ones, with an emphasis on the first two years of life. You can learn more in the book "It's All in the Head" by Drs Watson and Rosen

From our Community
"Excellent, relaxing. I feel like I have a path forward and am not blocked by my inner thoughts and feelings. I’m motivated and in action. That is the way I feel right after a massage or hypnosis session with Jean-Pierre, or after a chiropractic adjustment with Dr. Penny. JP’s voice is soothing, he is calming and reassuring. I felt in control and safe at all times. I love mixing up my sessions between both of them. What a treat to work with them as part of my healing team."
-Shari S., hypnosis, massage and chiropractic participant
"JP has been my (massage) therapist for three years. He comes highly recommended due to his extensive training and professionalism. He’s helped me recover from injury and provided relaxation each week from my stressful job. He’s a great person with healing capabilities. Try his services. You will not regret it.”
-Sava B. Massage therapy client.
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help with our girls.
My toddler hasn't had any ear infections since they resolved, and today my 8-year-old had an appointment at Mass Eye & Ear where they confirmed she doesn't have fluid in her ears anymore.
We are so appreciative of your time and expertise!"
-Sarah, Chiro-mom
Hypnosis has been very helpful for me. Not only did I learn a very effective meditation, Jean-Pierre helped me reset my old patterns so that I can create ones that served me in my life much better."
-F.D.R., hypnosis client

Our Team
Dr. Penny Aviles
Dr. Penny Aviles was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. She found her calling while living in Atlanta, GA. . She found herself one day unable to drive her car home due to a "mysterious" injury. She walked into the closest chiropractic office and waited until they could see her. That first visit changed the course of her life completely. During her last 2 years
at Agnes Scott College she noticed her health transform significantly thanks to chiropractic care. After graduating as an artist and working for the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia she
was inspired to become a chiropractor. She completed her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life University in 2015.
Jean-Pierre Nakhoul
Jean-Pierre has been an orthopedic massage therapist for 12 years, graduating from Cortiva Institute of Massage in 2013 with additional certification in Orthopedic Massage. I also hold bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and East Asian Studies from NYU. My background includes over 20 years of dedicated meditation and martial arts practice, including four years as a disciple of a Shaolin Chan Buddhist monk. After college, he studied tai chi in China for two years and then traveled through India and Thailand for several months.
Our sun Diego
Our favorite employee, you might see him around playing with the beanie babies, quietly watching his favorite educational video or running around in the parking lot. He is the "why" behind everything that we do. All the recommendations for care are also tried on him. Ok, maybe he is our little guinea pig.
All jokes aside, we believe he is a great example of what a chiro-child is all about and the inspiration we have to help people become the best version of themselves by reconnecting to their source. Most than anything, he is WBH's favorite mascot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have specific symptoms and health concerns?
We all express manifestations of dis-ease somehow in our system. The various symptoms of stress, from headaches to nerve entrapments, lack of sleep to digestive discomfort, aches and pains to muscle tension, etc. look different for everyone. But instead of just treating those symptoms, our approach tackles the root cause. We focus on helping your body release, integrate the tension it's holding, and regain ease, so you can feel wonderful and find lasting stress-adaptation and relief.
What can I expect from the first visit?
Your first visit will give us an idea of what your concerns are and how to address them better. We will talk about your unique health goals and what you've been through. If you're coming for...
Chiropractic: the first visit lasts 45-60 minutes. Dr. Penny will be thorough in her evaluation. If necessary she will refer you for x-rays. She will explain how chiropractic can help you and you will receive your first adjustment if necessary and will help you book your Report of Findings appointment where she will cover her recommendations for care and you can opt in for care and get adjusted again on that same visit.
Massage: the first visit lasts 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your choice. Jean-Pierre will listen to your specific concerns and will perform any specific muscle tests if necessary. He will be gentle, detailed and effective giving you a "pain free deep tissue" session (a one-of-a-kind in the South Shore and Boston area). He prefers to focus on one area of concern per session to give you the best results.
Hypnosis: the first session lasts 60-75 minutes. Jean-Pierre will learn about you through a detailed conversation with you and will practice an first hypnosis with you to determine how you respond better to it. We recommend you book a minimum of 3 sessions for best results. Ask us about the Initial Hypnosis Trio to save when you prepay them in advance.
Do you accept insurance?
Due to the nature of our practice, we cannot directly bill your insurance. We will, however, provide you with a receipt that you can submit for reimbursement. We've found this to ultimately be the most cost-effective option for our clients, and we'll be happy to explain why at your visit.
How do I prepare for a session?
Wear comfortable clothing, preferably no belts or jewelry, and come prepared to discuss your health history and wellness goals.
Can I participate in your services if I have no prior experience?
Absolutely! Our services are designed to accommodate all levels of experience. We provide personalized guidance to ensure everyone can participate comfortably and safely.
