History
Established in 2001.
Dr. Tracy and I (Dr.Brian) opened the Healing Loft in Santa Barbara, California, in 2001. After eight incredible years serving the local community, we were invited to relocate to Colorado, where we spent the next three years providing chiropractic care to professional cycling teams. Seeking a change of pace (and climate!), our family spent a year in Mexico before returning to Santa Barbara in 2012 to launch Thrive Studios.
In 2023, Dr. Brian accepted a leadership role with The Joint Chiropractic as the Chiropractic Operations Manager for Southern California. Over a two-year franchising period, he helped train hundreds of doctors, launch & support over 40 clinics across the region. With that mission accomplished, Dr. Brian has returned to private practice alongside his wife, Dr. Tracy Johnson, at Thrive Studios.
Together, they bring decades of experience, passion, and a holistic approach to chiropractic care—dedicated to helping individuals and families thrive in health and in life.
