Daniel Gaustad, DC, SEP

I am licensed to perform chiropractic in California and Minnesota and have been practicing for over 20 years. I graduated in 2001 with my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University.

I love living near the ocean in Pacifica and treating patients at my office in the Sharp Park neighborhood. Beginning in 2026, I will also be available to treat patients in my office space in the Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco.

Originally from Minnesota, I also travel there regularly to treat patients in my Minneapolis office. More information about that location can be found here.

Other modalities that inform my style of chiropractic practice include Somatic Experiencing and Trauma Sensitive Yoga.

In 2018, I completed the three year Somatic Experiencing® Professional Trauma Training Program, and I currently offer Somatic Experiencing sessions for individuals, couples, small groups of 3-6 participants and large groups of up to 20 participants.

To learn more about my Somatic Experiencing practice please visit danielgaustad.com.

I am a graduate of the 230-Hour Teacher Training Program offered through Yoga Center of Minneapolis. From 2012 to 2018, I taught group yoga classes for men in recovery at Progress Valley in Minneapolis. In 2016, I completed the 40-hour Introduction To Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Training with David Emerson, founder of TCTSY.

When not in the office, you might find me surfing at Montara or Linda Mar, playing guitar or drums, or hiking coastal trails.
