Bella started care with us five years ago, when she was just 10 years old. Her mom was looking for gentle, holistic support for Bella’s immune system, focus, and emotional regulation as she navigated sleep struggles, brain fog, and daily overwhelm related to sensory processing differences.
Over time, Bella’s progress has been truly incredible. ✨
She’s now falling asleep more easily, feeling more emotionally regulated, and experiencing less anxiety and more energy overall. It is always a highlight when she comes into Pure Light. Bella is kind, thoughtful—and absolutely adores her sweet dog, Birdie 🐶.
A few years into Bella’s care, her mom Rochelle began her own journey. She was dealing with chronic neck pain, fatigue, and the daily stress that comes with being a busy mom. Within just a few months, she noticed deeper sleep, less tension, and a greater sense of balance in her body and life.
Now, both Bella and Rochelle continue to stay consistent with their care—and it’s been such a joy and honor to walk alongside them both. 🌿

Meet Sydney—a driven, active 14-year-old who’s been a part of the Pure Light family for the past two years. She first came to us seeking relief from daily back pain and constant headaches. Beyond the physical discomfort, she was also craving more calm and emotional balance in her life.
Within just a few weeks of care, Sydney noticed some big shifts. The pinching in her lower back eased, her headaches decreased, and she began to feel more emotionally regulated and at ease in her body.
✨ Her mood improved
✨ Her focus and self-regulation strengthened
✨ And overall, she became a happier, more grounded version of herself
Sydney continues to come in regularly, making chiropractic a vital part of her wellness routine—and it shows. She’s thriving, active, and showing up for life with clarity and confidence.
We’re so proud of her commitment to her health and honored to be part of her journey! 💛

🌿 ADHD, the Nervous System & a Natural Path Forward 🌿
For many families, ADHD medications are the first step—but they often come with side effects that can leave parents wondering: Is there another way?
While meds may help manage certain behaviors, they can also lead to:
❌ Trouble sleeping
❌ Low appetite
❌ Increased anxiety or mood swings
❌ Tolerance buildup over time
At Pure Light, we approach things differently—by focusing on the root, not just the symptoms. ADHD is deeply connected to nervous system dysregulation, and that’s where neurologically-focused chiropractic care can make a powerful difference.
✨ With consistent adjustments, we’ve seen kids experience:
✅ Better focus & mental clarity
✅ More emotional regulation
✅ Reduced overwhelm & impulsivity
✅ Improvements in sleep, digestion & mood
We don’t "treat" ADHD—but we do help calm the nervous system, support brain-body communication, and create the conditions where kids can feel more at ease in their own bodies.
💛
If you’re looking for a natural, empowering way to support your child’s focus, behavior, and overall well-being—we’d love to walk alongside you.
📞 Call us at 541-382-1118 to learn more or get started.
You’re not alone—and there is another way.

Google might say being in “rest & digest” is always good — but too much of it can actually mean your child’s brain has been under stress for so long that it’s now stuck in overdrive.
What this can look like:
😣 Colic or poor sleep
🍎 Digestive issues
🧴 Skin struggles (eczema)
💔 Frequent meltdowns or anxiety
🧩 Developmental delays or sensory overwhelm
😴 Shutdowns/freezing
Why it happens:
After being stuck in fight-or-flight for too long, the brain shifts into parasympathetic dominance to conserve energy. But the nervous system is still stressed — just showing it in different ways.
The good news: Healing is possible! With gentle, neurologically focused chiropractic care, we can help the nervous system move out of overdrive and back into balance, leading to:
✨ Calmer emotions
✨ Better digestion & sleep
✨ Fewer skin issues
✨ Stronger immunity
✨ More peace, joy & healthy development
A balanced brain = a thriving child.

Your gut is so much more than a digestion center — it’s a powerful part of your immune system, mood regulation, energy production, and even hormone balance.
Here are 5 simple ways to support a thriving gut:
1️⃣ Support the Nervous System 🧠
Your gut and brain are constantly communicating via the vagus nerve. When the nervous system is stressed, digestion suffers. That’s where gentle chiropractic care makes a huge difference — helping regulate, restore, and calm from the inside out.
2️⃣ Prioritize Minerals & Hydration 💧
Your gut lining needs minerals like magnesium, sodium, and potassium to stay strong and balanced.
3️⃣ Limit Toxins & Processed Foods 🚫
Harsh chemicals and additives can irritate the gut lining and disrupt microbiome balance.
4️⃣ Get Moving (Daily!) 🚶♀️
Movement helps keep digestion flowing and inflammation down.
🌿 A healthy gut = a healthier, happier YOU.

On July 1st 2015, we were sitting in Drake Park on a sunny, warm summer day. Families were laughing, children were playing, and the sun was glistening on the Deschutes River. It was our first visit to Bend. We fell in love. We felt at home.
We returned to Atlanta after a long road trip camping along the way. We constantly talked about Bend. The seed was planted, which began to sprout into our dream of being a part of the Bend community. At the beginning of 2017, our dream became a reality. We packed up a 16’ Penske Truck and drove Dr. Sarah across the country from Atlanta to Bend in the middle of the winter. Yes...that crazy, awesome, snowy winter in Bend! :)
Dr. Sarah started Pure Light in a small room at Bend Pilates. It was her little launch pad to begin serving our community. Our focus was the same in the beginning as it is now - creating happy, healthy families by optimizing the brain-body connection during pregnancy, infancy, childhood and beyond.
Dr. David joined Dr. Sarah in August 2017 and together began the search for a longer term home for Pure Light. The journey to find a new location was filled with success and learning experiences, yet we were blessed to find the perfect location. We settled in and began filling our new space with loving intentions and lots of light, to be a healing sanctuary for pregnant women, children and families. Our intention is for everyone who walks into our space to take a deep breath, feel welcome, feel at home. We have toys in every room and we love seeing children having fun during their visits.
After renovating the office to better serve you and your family, Pure Light was officially ready for our Grand Opening Celebration on April 28th, 2018. What a fun party! We had a fire truck, a bouncy house, face painting, live music, arts and crafts, healthy food and raffle prizes from other local businesses.
We are often asked, “How do you like living in Bend?” The answer is always “We LOVE it! We are lifers.” Truly, our roots are deep in the community of Bend and we are here for a lifetime. It is an honor to serve and give back to such a wonderful community.
From day number one to our last breath of life, the mission will remain the same - Help you and your loved one's live the best life possible every single day, from birth to 100 years and beyond.

"Health and harmony can naturally exist in our lives through a well-tuned nervous system. I intend to be a nurturing guide, assisting each individual on their journey to create their conscious, healthy lifestyle. I truly love seeing others awaken to the light of their own true nature." - Dr. Sarah Lutz
"Improving the life of a suffering child has a massive ripple effect. The trajectory of an entire life is changed forever. The family can regain excitement, exploration and pursuit of purpose. A community flourishes because that child is back to being the fullest expression of themselves. A child's life changed has an immeasurable impact on the future of humanity and the world." - Dr. David Lutz
