How I found chiropractic:
I grew up playing soccer year round [which I loved] but I needed care to counteract all that activity. I was also very headache prone as a child! So my mom decided to take me to her chiropractor. I was hooked after my first appointment! I remember the Doc identifying that I “was a runner” just by checking my leg length + thought it was magic that he could guess such a thing!

Why chiropractic?
Being healed by + working with your hands is so incredible! Wherever I go, I have all the tools I need to care for others. I actually always joked that I would marry a chiropractor because I love the art so much… turns out he’s a dentist! - It was actually my fiancé who asked, “if you could snap your fingers and be where you wanted to be, where would you be?” And, I said “I think being a chiropractor would be really cool.” So I called the school and set up a tour shortly thereafter.
Why women + children?
Short answer: Because I want to be a mom someday too! And I want to be sure that I am fully educated + fully supported throughout my journey; as well as supporting my future children to the best of my ability.
When I started chiropractic school I had no idea what I was about to learn in regard to the human body + about myself. I started to understand that the little complaints I might have had about my own health, was my body telling me that it needed more - more nutrition, more recovery, more intuition, + more TLC. So the last couple years have been pretty transformative in my health on a cellular level - because it's not always about what you see on the outside - can we agree? Chiro for Moms + Chiro For Kidz stole my heart the minute I walked in the door! This team understands that women's healthcare looks different + that's why I couldn't leave...
Last little note:
Listen to your body, because you do know best.
