Our Team
Founder
Dr. Rene “REn” Nevarez
Dr. Ren is a Board-Certified Chiropractor and Board-Certified Orthopedic Physician Extender. As a Whittier native and graduate of Southern California University of Health Sciences, Dr. Ren is excited to bring her unique skill set and passion back to the La Habra/Whittier area. She is a Qualified Medical Evaluator for the state of California and a Holistic Chiropractor, Reiki Master, and Spinal Energetics Practitioner. She is the Chief Medical Officer for a medical management company and trains physicians from all over California. In addition, she has worked alongside an orthopedic surgeon as a lead clinician for the past 15 years and assists in surgery.
After experiencing a life-changing, personal health crisis in 2022, she founded the L3 Collective Wellness Studio. She has achieved her lifelong dream of creating a safe space to explore holistic healing modalities focusing on radical self-love and self-care. Dr. Ren’s passion to help others reconnect to the body’s innate healing has deepened since the start of her career and she remains driven to continue to help others on their healing journeys with her unique skill set that combines both holistic and allopathic modalities. Her goal is to guide others back to the consciousness of their body’s wisdom while listening to the subtle messages. She has researched the connection between physical, energetic, and emotional trauma and how it affects the human body. With scientific evidence, she has since developed an integrative technique that combines the movement of joints, muscles, and energy, allowing the body to “release and restore” to optimal function. Dr. Ren remains deeply dedicated to helping others integrate stress reduction, balance, and connection into their daily lives and she loves to share her stories, tips, and tools.
Appointments with Dr. Ren typically range from 30 minutes to an hour, as she takes the time to address the specific needs of every patient, providing individualized care and support. It is her goal to address all aspects of pain in the body and provide simple “take home” tools for further benefits of healing at home. In her spare time, Dr. Ren loves to go on adventures with her partner, see live music, and snuggle the office dog, Holly.

Office Dog
HOLLY
Hi, I am Holly and I was born on Halloween. I am so proud to be the L3 office dog. My moms rescued me after my first mom, Phyllis, went to heaven after a long battle with cancer. I love being in the center because I like to meet new friends. I am a standard Poodle and I am 6 years old. I bark because I get excited, but I am well trained and I never bite! I love people but dogs sometimes scare me. Working at L3 has helped me face my fears and share my love. Come in and visit me soon.
Love, Holly.
