CHIROPRACTOR
Growing up, I had an amazing childhood. I was blessed to have a family so focused on health and making sure my sisters and I grew up happy and healthy. My dad is a chiropractor, so I was adjusted from the day that I was born, and consistently since then. My dad didn't adjust me because I had neck pain or back pain, but he adjusted me because he knew that I needed a nervous system functioning at 100% in order to be a healthy kid and become a healthy adult. And that’s exactly what happened.
My childhood looked so different from my friends. I never had a headache. I never missed days from school because I was sick. I never had an ear infection. I never experienced so many things that people consider ‘normal’ and a part of their everyday life.
And that’s when it clicked for me.
With my dad being a chiropractor and my mom being a teacher. I always said I wanted to do both… and today, that’s exactly what I do.
I get to spend every day not just ‘going to work’, but teaching people about the strength and resilience of their natural body, and helping them see that God did not forget anything when He created them, that He did not create them with a lack. He created them with the power to heal, adapt and thrive. My job is not to ‘fix’ anything, my job is to make sure your nervous system is clear and connected so you can not just survive, but truly thrive.
CHIROPRACTOR
I didn’t grow up with chiropractic care. In fact, I didn’t get my first adjustment until I was 18 years old. But one thing I always knew was that I wanted to spend my life helping kids. That passion came from my mom, who worked as a paraprofessional supporting children with special needs. Watching the impact she made inspired me to help kids in any way I could.
At first, I thought I would become a teacher. When I was 19, my brother, who is also a chiropractor, invited me to shadow his office for the summer and spend time with my newborn nephew. During that first week, I witnessed countless people share how their lives had changed with better sleep, improved digestion, fewer headaches, and more energy.
Then I met the family that changed my life. One of their children had been diagnosed with autism. Over the three months I interned in that office, I watched this little boy transform from being completely non-verbal to saying “I love you” to his mom for the very first time. In that moment, I knew that chiropractic care was how I wanted to serve families and kids.
Since then, I have dedicated myself to learning everything I can about chiropractic care and how it can support children and families navigating challenges like autism, ADHD, colic, and more. Helping families through stressful times and guiding kids toward vibrant, healthy lives isn’t just my job, it’s my passion.
If your family is going through a challenging season, I want you to know that you are not alone. It is my mission to walk alongside parents and their kids, to bring hope, and to help your family experience the happy, healthy life you deserve.
