Meet Dr. Victoria Kustarz
Chiropractic Chose Her
Dr. Victoria Kustarz began working at the front desk of a chiropractic office in 2009. At the time, she suffered daily with anxiety, depression, headaches, digestive issues, and far too many other aches and pains. After she was rear-ended in a car accident, the chiropractor she worked for explained what happens when whiplash injuries occur, and offered to take care of her. Chiropractic care helped with her injuries… AND many of the other symptoms she had struggled with for years began to improve!
That wasn’t enough to convince Dr. Victoria; she soon she changed jobs and stopped getting adjusted. When her symptoms began resurfacing, she knew it was time to find a new office to continue care. Her new chiropractor helped her understand the mind/body connection and how we are truly designed to heal and regulate from within.

When she expressed her desire to learn more, her chiropractor suggested Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Dr. Victoria had other ideas—namely, being in a much warmer climate—and reached out to other colleges instead. For over a year, none of the ocean-side colleges responded to her inquiries. When she arrived at Life University she understood why and knew she was exactly where God wanted her to be!
At the beginning of chiropractic college, Dr. Victoria stumbled upon (if you ask her, she was guided to) one of the most unique, gentle, life-changing chiropractic techniques developed to date. She watched her first NetworkSpinal entrainment (adjustment) from the doorway of a classroom, not understanding anything they were doing—it was so different from everything she knew about chiropractic.
Studying and personal experience with NetworkSpinal has deepened her understanding of how gentle chiropractic techniques can offer reconnection to those who have dissociated their mind from their body in order to survive (instead of thrive!).
Chiropractic is about more than settling for restoration to a previous state of being; it helps create new strategies & improved ways of functioning in the nervous system that allow our soul to reside more comfortably in our meat-suit!
Chiropractic school also introduced Dr. Victoria to the countless benefits of gentle adjustments for moms-to-be, babies and children, including and especially those with sensory processing disorders and birth trauma. Dr. Victoria completed her internship at one of the largest pediatric, special needs, prenatal and family wellness chiropractic offices in Georgia. She began training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) in 2015.
Dr. Victoria received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 2016. She is certified in the Webster Technique by the ICPA and holds a 200-hour yoga training certification.
Our Clinic
Dr. Victoria met her husband, Dr. Robert Kustarz, while they finished their prerequisites for chiropractic school. After graduating and working in many types of chiropractic clinics throughout Florida, they opened Awaken Chiropractic Center in 2019. Unfortunately, COVID forced the closure of the office the next year, but they reopened in 2022 in Port St Lucie. They are proud to be the only NetworkSpinal practitioners in the area.
In Her Spare Time
When she’s not in the office, you will probably find Dr. Victoria hanging out with Dr. Robert, whom she married on the beach in 2018. They love to be outside as much as possible, and spend a lot of time doing various types of yoga, from gentle Yin and Hatha to active Kundalini and Vinyasa flows.
