The way I grew up was conventionally different than the way my peers grew up! I was the girl who went to her uncle, who was a chiropractor, when she was “sick” instead of going down the street to the pediatrician. I also found it odd when my friends would talk about their pediatricians or their doctors and I didn’t have one of those. I had my ups and downs of sickness, but overall I was a healthy child whose parents didn’t rely on conventional medications to keep me healthy!
I knew at a few young age I wanted to be a chiropractor. I remember being at our families lake and playing catch with my grandfather and telling him I wanted to do what he did when I grew up. For most 8 year olds that would seem fictional. For me, it was reality! I never changed my mind or the course of my dreams! I knew I wanted to help people and I have always had a heart to do so! I graduated from chiropractic school at the age of 24! I am the 32nd chiropractor in my family that spans over 4 generations! We have a legacy of a healing profession in our family! I started working in my brother office just a few days after graduating. Now, together we have one of the largest clinics in our state! It has been an honor and a privledge to serve my community along side my family!
In 2012, my reality got flipped a little on me! My mother, who is my best friend, my biggest fan, my office manager and my teammate started to develop symptoms. Things that neither of us could figure out. Now, she is one of the strongest, most driven women I have ever known. You would never be able to tell if she was “sick” or under the weather. She continues to persevere regardless of the circumstances! She truly is my hero. She began to experience things she’s never had to deal with before. Things like irritable bowel syndrome, which at some points was uncontrollable, rashes began to develop under her shin, eyes and arm pits, she was overly fatigued and lethargic with a loss of concentration. Yet, you never would have known it had you just briefly interacted with you.
At this point, she finally came to me in anguish with no where else to turn! This is when her misery turned into my mission! I have developed a much deeper understanding of what allows the body to heal over the years! My appreciation for the bodies ability to use food and nutrients to heal and blown me away. My ability to see how the body heals when you simply remove the interference to healing has kept me awestruck! The reason is because often times allowing yourself to heal happens in the most natural ways! My focus with this site is to provide you the resources needed to become wellness ninjas! To take back the control of your health! And to understand you have a responsibility and an obligation to your health! I would like to be your tour guide! Your body is designed to heal! YOU be the judge!
