Please describe what chiropractors do, and explain your personal mission.
Chiropractors remove subluxations from the spine which cause interference to the nervous system. By allowing the nervous system to function as it should all of the tissues and organs of the body can function properly. Many people have gotten relief from symptoms such as acid reflux, sinus infections, constipation, infertility, etc. The focus of my practice is pregnancy and pediatrics. Chiropractic can really make a huge inpact in the life of a child when the mother gets proper care during pregnancy and the integrity of the baby's nervous system is in tact. Children I have treated have gotten great relief from symtoms such as bedwetting, ear infections, reflux, colic and many others. There is a great power that creates life and each individual is created perfectly, we just have to remove interference and allow that power to be expressed. "Life needs no help, just no interference." D.D. Palmer

What is your background and what lead you to this business?
I am very passionate about the belief that the power that made the body, heals the body. I got the "big idea" in high school then drifted away in college and worked in the medical field. It didn't make sense to me that people be on 15 different drugs that all cause more problems than their original complaint. It only makes sense to me to allow the body to express itself and function as it was created to without interference from subluxations or drugs. I earned my B.S. from Central Michigan University in exercise physiology and my Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic - Florida. I am very passionate about children and am working on my pediatric diplomate through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.  I also am certified in Webster Technique which is a specific analysis and technique to be used during pregnancy to remove intra-uterine constraint to allow proper positioning of the baby.

What makes your business unique and sets you apart from your competition?
My business is unique in that I focus on pregnancy and pediatrics. I think my knowledge, skill and passion in this area is what sets me apart from the competition.
