We own and operate Balanced Livermore Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, a business focused on helping people achieve optimal health and wellness through chiropractic care and rehabilitation services. We are passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles and encouraging patients to live healthy and fulfilling lives. Both of us have backgrounds in health fields, with Nic being a Doctor of Chiropractic and Hannah having a degree in health sciences. We both previously worked in Corporate Wellness in the South Bay.
We have two amazing young children named Olivia and Mason. We are also deeply committed to supporting our local community, particularly small businesses. Hannah also owns another small business, Hannah Berglund Photography, which specializes in wedding photography.
Q: What are some fun activities to do in Livermore?
We love wine tasting / supporting local wineries and we attend the farmers market every Sunday. We can’t wait for the Thursday market to begin again soon! We also frequent the library with our kids, and our oldest is involved in Livermore sports.
Q: What makes the Livermore community so special?
Livermore is truly a remarkable place, and we feel so fortunate to be part of this incredible community. One of the things that makes Livermore so special is its charm and character. Despite being located in the heart of the Bay Area, Livermore has managed to maintain its unique small-town feel. People here are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to lend a helping hand. We also love the abundance of small businesses that are spread throughout the city, creating a vibrant and bustling local economy that fosters a strong sense of community pride.
Q: Please tell us about where you work and what you love about what you do?
We feel incredibly fortunate to work at Balanced Livermore Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, a clinic that we’re also proud to own. When we opened our doors in Livermore, we saw an opportunity to offer something truly special and unique to the community. We noticed a gap in the market for a chiropractor that could go beyond basic adjustments and deliver comprehensive and effective care that addresses the root cause of pain. By combining chiropractic treatments with advanced rehab modalities, we’re able to help our patients achieve optimal health and wellness. What we love most about our work is seeing the positive impact it has on people’s lives. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the transformation of someone who’s lived with chronic pain for years, finally finding relief and the ability to live life to the fullest. We feel so grateful to be able to do what we do and to be part of such a wonderful community in Livermore.
Q: What are a couple of your favorite restaurants in our community?
We are huge fans of Locanda and frequent there whenever we are kids free! Charming Fig and Bubb’s Bagels has also become a frequent place for us to eat, especially given their proximity to the clinic.
Q: How long have you lived or worked in our community?
We’ve been part of the Livermore community since late 2017. Before we opened our clinic, Nic commuted to San Jose for five years while we worked behind the scenes to bring our vision to life. Meanwhile, Hannah has been an active member of the community as a local wedding photographer since we first arrived. It’s been an incredible journey so far, and we feel so grateful to have found a home in such a wonderful and supportive community. We’re excited to continue growing our roots here.
Q: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met here in our community?
Wow, that’s a tough question! We’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many fascinating people here in Livermore, especially among the small business community. It’s truly amazing to see the amount of talent, creativity, and passion that exists in our community. From innovative entrepreneurs to inspiring community leaders, there are too many interesting people to name just one! We feel so lucky to be part of such a vibrant and dynamic community that’s full of amazing people. It’s always a pleasure to meet new people and learn about their stories and experiences. Who knows, maybe the most interesting person we’ll meet is yet to come!
Q: What is one of your favorite movies? TV shows?
We are big fans of Succession and just recently finished Shrinking.
Q: What advice would you give to people?
Our advice would be to always follow your dreams and never give up, no matter how hard the journey may be. We know firsthand how challenging it can be to pursue your dreams, as it took us 11 long years to open the doors of Balanced Livermore. Along the way, there were many times when giving up seemed like the easiest option, but we kept pushing through by taking small steps each day. Whether it was working on our plans or creating logos, every little action we took brought us closer to our goal. Remember that small actions are the foundation for reaching big goals, so keep moving forward, even if it’s just a little bit each day. And above all, stay positive and never lose sight of your dreams.
Q: What current or former local business makes you the most nostalgic about our community?
We have a special place in our hearts for Story Coffee. It was there for us during Hannah’s pregnancy, providing a safe and welcoming outdoor spot to walk to when everything was shut down in 2020. We’ve created countless memories at Story, especially during our many before-school mornings with the kids. It’s become such a staple in our routine that our kids now scream “coffee!” whenever we drive by. We cherish the memories we’ve made at Story and know that it will continue to hold a special place in our hearts for years to come. It’s a place we’ll always talk about visiting even when the kids are grown up and no longer want to hang out with us.
Q: What is your favorite thing or something unique about our community?
We absolutely adore the small-town charm of Livermore! Even though it may not be the smallest town out there, it still has that cozy feeling that makes you feel right at home. It’s a tight-knit community where you’re always bound to bump into someone you know while strolling through downtown. Livermore has a unique sense of community pride that’s hard to come by in the Bay Area. We love being part of this wonderful community.
Q: (Even for friends or family), what is something interesting that most people don’t know about you?
We’re pretty straightforward people, so there isn’t anything too surprising to share. However, one thing that might not be immediately apparent is that we both come from backgrounds in health and wellness. Our first date was actually going on a run together! We met while Hannah was getting an undergraduate degree in Health Science and Nic in Exercise Physiology. This passion for promoting overall well-being and helping people feel their best is what ultimately led us to open Balanced Livermore Chiropractic and Rehabilitation.
Q: What is your favorite holiday?
We absolutely adore the Fourth of July holiday! Each year, we make it a tradition to travel to Park City to celebrate with Hannah’s family. We love soaking up the sun and spending quality time with our loved ones by the pool while enjoying all the festivities that come with this exciting holiday. It’s one of our favorite times of the year!
Q: Who inspires you?
Our parents are a huge inspiration to us. They have instilled in us a passion for entrepreneurship and health from an early age. Both of our moms work in the health field, and both of our dads in business. They have been our role models and mentors, and we are grateful for their support and guidance throughout our journey. We also find inspiration from the patients we work with every day, who show incredible resilience and strength in their journey towards healing and recovery.
