ABOUT THE PRACTICE

Meet Dr. Varya
Kononov

Founder of The Retreat - a boutique chiropractic studio built on the belief that exceptional care should be intentional, personal, and never rushed.

HER STORY

I opened The Retreat because I wanted to create the kind of care experience I felt was missing - one that is more intentional, more personal, and not rushed through a system. Over time in practice, I kept seeing how many people were being treated for symptoms without really being given the time or attention to understand what was actually driving their pain or limitations.

"I knew I wanted to build something different - where care feels slower, more thoughtful, and truly centered around the individual."

For me, chiropractic has always been about helping people feel and function better in their actual lives, not just in the moment of an appointment. Creating The Retreat has been my way of combining precise chiropractic care with recovery-focused tools like red light therapy, so patients can experience more complete, long-term results. At its core, this practice is simply what I would want for myself and the people I care about.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

Care rooted in root cause thinking

Intentional & Personalized
Whole-Body Focus

My approach is rooted in addressing the true cause of dysfunction rather than just symptoms. Every plan is tailored to promote long-term balance, resilience, and performance - not a template.

I combine precise chiropractic adjustments with movement-based and recovery-focused therapies to support how the body functions as a whole - movement, nervous system, and cellular health together.

Long-Term Results
High-Touch Experience

This isn't about quick fixes or temporary relief. Care at The Retreat is designed to create lasting change - helping your body develop the strength and resilience to stay well over time.

Every visit is one-on-one and fully focused on you. No rushing, no assembly lines - just thoughtful, attentive care in a setting designed to feel calm, elevated, and welcoming.

I have a soft spot for anything that involves movement, travel, and food - so you'll usually find me either working out, cooking something new, or planning my next trip.
— A little something personal, from Dr. Kononov

I look forward to welcoming you into care at The Retreat.

New patients are warmly welcomed. Your first visit is designed entirely around understanding you.
