Dr. Mink, founder of Core of Recovery, has had the privilege of calling Santa Fe home for over 30 years, and during that time her passion for health, healing, and whole-body wellness has only deepened. Living in a community that values balance, nature, and mindful living has shaped both her personal life and professional path.

Dr. Mink’s work is grounded in the belief that the body is intelligent and resilient when given the right support. She has always been drawn to understanding why pain and dysfunction occur—not just how to temporarily relieve symptoms. That curiosity led her to become both a Medical Massage Therapist and a Doctor of Naprapathy, allowing her to blend hands-on care with a structural, evidence-based approach to healing.

Over the years, Dr. Mink has worked with people of all ages and activity levels—from those dealing with chronic pain and postural strain to individuals recovering from injury or simply wanting to move and feel better in their bodies.

APPROACH

Dr. Mink’s approach is personalized, thorough, and compassionate. She takes time to listen, evaluate, and understand the unique patterns in your body. No two people are the same, and no two treatment plans should be either.

By combining medical massage techniques with naprapathic evaluation and treatment, Dr. Mink focuses on:

• Reducing pain and inflammation
• Improving mobility and posture
• Supporting nervous system balance
• Encouraging long-term structural stability
• Specialized massage and rehabilitation for athletes: injury prevention, performance support, and return-to-play care

The goal isn’t just short-term relief—it’s helping your body function better over time.

WHY DR. MINK LOVES THIS PROFESSION

Helping people reconnect with their bodies, reduce pain, and regain confidence in movement is deeply rewarding. Whether you’re dealing with chronic discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply wanting to feel more at ease in your body, Dr. Mink’s goal is to support you with care that is thoughtful, effective, and respectful of your body’s innate wisdom.

WHAT IS NAPRAPATHY?

Naprapathy is a specialized form of manual medicine that focuses on the connective tissues of the body— muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons—and how they influence movement, posture, and pain.

The word naprapathy comes from the Czech word “napravit,” meaning “to correct.” Naprapaths are trained to identify and address structural imbalances that can place abnormal stress on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

NAPRAPATHIC CARE OFTEN INCLUDES:

• Detailed postural and movement evaluation
• Hands-on treatment of muscles and connective tissue
• Gentle joint mobilization
• Stretching and corrective exercises
• Education to support daily movement and healing

Rather than chasing symptoms, naprapathy looks at root causes—helping the body restore balance and function in a natural, non-invasive way.

Dr. Mink offers nutritional counseling in a supportive, one-on-one approach to help you feel your best from the inside out. She incorporates trusted Ortho Molecular supplements to help support digestion, energy, and metabolic balance.
