Our Story
Two Journeys. One Shared Vision.
Integrative Wellness & Esthetics™ was founded by Sandra Hurtado and Dr. Tom Voitas, two practitioners whose distinct professional journeys are united by a shared belief: Meaningful care begins with understanding the whole person.
Bringing together decades of experience in chiropractic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, nutrition, advanced esthetics, and innovative laser technology, we believe that science, education, compassion, and individualized care are essential to lasting wellness.
Our vision is to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their health and well-being.
Meet Our Founders
Sandra Hurtado
Co-Founder | Licensed Acupuncturist | Licensed Esthetician
For Sandra, the journey into integrative medicine began with a deeply personal experience.
Living with chronic pain and finding limited relief through conventional treatments led her to explore a different approach to healing. Her introduction to acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine opened the door to a philosophy that would ultimately shape her professional career and deepen her understanding of health.
Sandra holds a bachelor's degree in Biology and Nutrition and a master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. As a Licensed Acupuncturist and Licensed Esthetician, she brings together a strong foundation in biological sciences, Traditional Chinese Medicine, nutrition, and advanced esthetics.
Her fascination with neuroscience has been an important influence throughout her academic and professional journey. Her graduate research explored the biochemical processes involved in cerebellar development, reflecting an early interest in the complexity of the nervous system and its relationship to human health.
Seeking to deepen this knowledge through clinical application, Sandra completed Levels I and II of specialized neuroacupuncture training with Dr. Jason Jishun Hao at the Neuro-Acupuncture Institute in New Mexico. This approach integrates traditional Chinese acupuncture and scalp acupuncture techniques with contemporary understanding of neuroanatomy and neurological function.
It was during her training with Dr. Hao that Sandra met Dr. Poney Chiang, whose work in neuroanatomy and acupuncture immediately captured her interest. Inspired by his approach, she subsequently pursued advanced Neuro-Meridian Acupuncture training with him at York University in Toronto Canada in 2023.
These experiences strengthened Sandra's commitment to integrating traditional healing principles with modern scientific knowledge, particularly in understanding the relationship between the brain, nervous system, and the body's capacity for adaptation and recovery.
Throughout her professional journey, Sandra has continued to explore innovative approaches that complement traditional healing systems. Her work incorporates acupuncture, needle-free laser acupuncture, Erchonia® low-level laser technology, nutrition, and advanced esthetic treatments.
Her expansion into esthetics reflects a natural extension of her holistic philosophy. Sandra believes that skin health and beauty cannot be separated from the health of the body as a whole. Nutrition, physiological balance, lifestyle, and emotional well-being all contribute to how we look and feel.
At Integrative Wellness & Esthetics™, Sandra brings these disciplines together with a commitment to individualized care, continued education, and respect for each person's unique health journey.
Sandra's Personal Philosophy
“I believe that meaningful healing begins with understanding the individual, not simply identifying a symptom. Every person has a unique history, physiology, and set of circumstances that deserve to be heard and respected.
My goal is to bring together science, traditional wisdom, nutrition, and modern technology to help people become more informed and active participants in their own health.
I believe that health and beauty are deeply connected, and that caring for the whole person is essential to both."
Dr. Tom Voitas
Co-Founder | Chiropractic Physician | Clinical Director
With more than 44 years of clinical experience, Dr. Tom Voitas brings a lifetime of knowledge, dedication, and curiosity to the practice of integrative healthcare.
As a Chiropractic Physician, Dr. Voitas has devoted his professional life to understanding how the body functions as an interconnected system. His approach extends beyond the immediate location of pain or discomfort to explore the relationships between posture, movement, structural imbalances, compensatory patterns, and overall physiological function.
Throughout his career, he has recognized that symptoms often represent only one part of a much larger picture. His clinical philosophy emphasizes careful observation, individualized evaluation, and an understanding of the factors that may contribute to chronic pain and dysfunction.
Dr. Voitas has also spent more than 35 years studying and practicing Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese discipline that integrates movement, breathing, awareness, and the cultivation of internal balance. This longstanding practice has profoundly influenced his understanding of the relationship between the body, mind, and the healing process.
His professional interests extend into functional medicine, including the use of laboratory assessments to explore underlying physiological imbalances and guide individualized wellness strategies.
Dr. Voitas also incorporates Erchonia® low-level laser technology into his clinical approach, recognizing the potential role of noninvasive therapeutic technologies in supporting patient care.
His appreciation for traditional healing practices includes a longstanding interest in indigenous healing traditions and ceremonies, approached with respect for their cultural origins and the wisdom they represent.
As Co-Founder and Clinical Director of Integrative Wellness & Esthetics™, Dr. Voitas brings extensive clinical experience and a whole-person perspective to the practice's shared mission.
Dr. Voitas' Personal Philosophy
"Over the years, I have come to understand that my patients are among my greatest teachers.
Every person brings a unique story, and every body expresses its challenges differently. My responsibility is to listen, observe, and look beyond the symptoms to better understand what may be affecting the body's ability to function.
I believe that restoring function, supporting balance, and helping patients understand their own bodies are fundamental parts of meaningful healthcare.
Healing is not simply about treating what hurts. It is about understanding the person as a whole."
