Leslie has always had a fascination with how the human body moves. She started training in dance at a young age and continued throughout her formative years. She still integrates some form of movement in her daily life (yoga, stretching, walking/ hiking, sneaking in a dance class). She holds a bachelor’s degree in movement education and completed graduate coursework in exercise physiology, both of which have given her a strong foundation for her massage therapy practice.
She views herself as a facilitator— educating clients about their own bodies and give them tools to incorporate body awareness into their activities of daily living.
Human bodies and routines are all unique, which allows her to tailor her sessions to each client’s individual needs with intuitiveness, compassion and empathy to facilitate relaxation, rehabilitation and injury prevention.
Leslie’s integrative massage style is rooted in deep tissue techniques that include modalities of neuromuscular, myofascial and trigger point therapies. As a board certified massage therapist and body worker, she continually seeks out new modalities and techniques based on research that compliments her style and further helps her clients.
Her other passions include being with her family, cooking, baking, dancing and the outdoors. Her self-reminders include, “breathe, keep it simple, be kind to yourself and laugh”.
We are so fortunate at Lee Chiropractic to have her be part of our team and to be able to call her family.

Dr. Yvonne Hua is a proud Bay Area native from San Jose, California born to her Vietnamese-Chinese parents and she speaks fluent Vietnamese. In 2017, she graduated from San Jose State University with a bachelor’s degree in child and adolescent development, concentration in early childhood education. However, in her heart, she had always dreamt of becoming a doctor and treating people of all ages. After graduating from SJSU, she was determined to pursue her
dream.
In 2018, she began working at Thrive Milpitas Chiropractic in administration and later became
their chiropractic assistant. During that time, she quickly became fascinated with this complementary and holistic approach to healthcare. So, in January 2019, Dr. Hua began her chiropractic career at Palmer College of Chiropractic, West Campus.
While in school, she was the class representative for her first five quarters. And in her 12th and 13th quarter, she accepted an invitation to work in an internship with the Veterans Affairs of Palo Alto Healthcare System, where she had the honor to provide chiropractic care for our
respectable veterans. In March 2022, she completed her educational journey receiving her Doctor of Chiropractic degree with Honors.
In practice, Dr. Hua treats her patients using the Diversified Full Spine Adjusting Technique. She
also utilizes muscle work as a foundation for her treating style, including IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) and cupping. She is currently certified in Rocktape, FAKTR (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab), and is working on her certifications in CSCS (Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist), Webster Technique, and ART (Active Release
Technique). With these, she looks to treat patients of all ages and backgrounds.
In her free time, Dr. Hua loves powerlifting/weightlifting, cooking, reading, watching movies, and seeing loved ones. She cracks more than just joints; you’ll probably catch her cracking a joke or two. She lives by the motto, “treat others as you wish to be treated.”

Dr. Christine Lee is a first generation Taiwanese-American, who was born in Washington, DC and raised in northern Virginia. She received a bachelor’s degree in Biology from East Carolina University in North Carolina.
After graduating from ECU, she decided to try something new and moved to California in 1997. She had the opportunity to work both as a part-time Juvenile probation counselor for Santa Clara County and at the same time as an office manager in a busy chiropractic office. It’s in that office where she experienced first-hand how chiropractic care changes lives. When it came time to decide between a full time career in probation or healing, the decision was clear, becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic was her true path.
In 2000 she began her own chiropractic journey at Life Chiropractic College West. During school she was active in both the Pediatric Club and Gonstead Society. At one point she was asked to be a clinic case presenter for the school, an experience that still makes her shake with nerves today. She’s been on two separate chiropractic mission trips to El Salvador First as a student, and later as a lead doctor. During those trip she treated over 300 patients and quickly learned the strength of the human spirit.
After graduating in 2003, Dr. Lee opened Lee Chiropractic in Hayward, California. She also worked as the team trainer for the San Francisco Golden Gate Men’s Rugby team and has volunteered her services at the Bay Area Battered Women’s shelter, which was organized by the LCCW students.
In 2005, she moved her practice to Oakland, CA where she continues to practice the art of Chiropractic care. To further aid people on their journey to wellness and health, Dr. Lee has continued her education. She has a passion for working with athletes and holds certification as a chiropractic extremity practitioner (CCEP) as well as a chiropractic sports practitioner (CCSP), and is also certified in the Webster In-utero Constraint Technique for expectant mothers, which she sees simply as a different form of athleticism. She is always learning in order to better serve her patients in new and exciting ways.
At home, Dr. Lee lives in the Oakland Redwood Heights/Laurel District. She enjoys life with her husband and son. She loves cooking, camping, dirt biking and Brazilian jiujitsu. She constantly reminds herself, “anything worth doing or changing should make you a little nervous.”
