The Wellness Way – Pensacola

Dr. Samantha grew up in Houston, Texas spending most of her time swimming, reading, and playing with/studying any creature she could get her hands on-from cicadas to bull frogs. She has always had a passion for discovering how things work, specifically within the body. Her desire to become a doctor started at the ripe age of three years old, when she dressed up as a brain surgeon for Halloween, horrifying the other kids with a brain in one hand and her candy basket in the other.

Eventually Dr. Samantha found her way to university where she studied as a pre-med student, thinking that she wanted to be an MD. It was while in school at the University of Texas in Tyler, that she met her future husband Colton- he was also interested in medicine and was on track to becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy. During this time, Dr. Samantha began working in the emergency room as a medical scribe, following MDs all around the ER and listening to every patient interaction and all that goes on behind the scenes. It was during this time that a feeling of unease began to settle over her: every patient seemed to be getting prescribed lists of medications that they may or may not need. After doing further research into the trillion-dollar industry of pharmaceuticals, Dr. Samantha decided she wanted no part of that world.

This left Dr. Samantha with what she thought were limited options, what could she do with a degree in pre-medical sciences if she didn’t want to be an MD? Well, the world works in funny ways-some may call it divine intervention, and some may call it happenstance. The same week Dr. Samantha realized she no longer wanted to be an MD, Colton (her now husband and now Dr. Colton) came home exhilarated from a seminar he had just attended, lit up with passion for this thing called Chiropractic. As he told her all about this branch of medicine that could heal without surgery, without drugs, without any of the things she’d witnessed in the emergency room that made her wary of the profession, she realized this may be exactly what she needed.

Within six months, Dr. Samantha and Dr. Colton began their Doctorates in Chiropractic at Parker University in Dallas, Texas. After four long years of endless studying, dissecting, adjusting, and learning, she neared the end of her time in school, interning at the VA Hospital in Dallas. It came time for Dr. Samantha to start figuring out what her next step would be. Dr. Samantha comes from a family in which every woman has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. Due to this firsthand experience of the struggles and hardships that can come with diagnoses that are difficult to understand, and even more difficult to treat, Dr. Samantha knew she wanted to be in a place where she could help the people who needed it the most. Life did that funny thing again where things seem to come together seamlessly, and Dr. Samantha found her way to The Wellness Way.

Dr. Samantha is passionate about healing the body in the least invasive and most natural way possible. Her curiosity drives her to understand the root cause of the problem and then treat the problem from the ground up. She has witnessed the power of an adjustment, a scientifically sound supplementation program, strategic lifestyle changes, and the importance of thorough testing and understanding; and is eager to share these things with all those she can.

The Wellness Way – Holmen

Dr. Katie was born and raised in Galesville, WI. Since she was a young girl, she knew she wanted to be a chiropractor. Her father used to take her with him to his appointments after suffering a cervical disc herniation, and her interest and experiences instantly led her to this profession. She was so inspired by the results her dad achieved through chiropractic care; she decided to dedicate her life toward this passion for chiropractic. After receiving an exercise science degree from the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse, she immediately enrolled at the fountainhead of Chiropractic, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA graduating with summa cum laude honors.

She feels very blessed to be able to have a career that allows her to do all the things she loves the most: serving her patients and community through chiropractic, teaching gymnastics, and being a mom!

Dr. Katie loves being a Chiropractor. She says “Too many of us are content with mediocre health. Health isn’t just about being without pain and symptoms. Without great habits relating to nutrition, movement, attitudes, and beliefs, true health will always be indefinable. Abundant movement and great health cannot possibly occur when the nervous system is not functioning properly. The nervous system is a phenomenal system that controls every task of the entire body. A fully functioning nervous system is the basis of great health.” She says her job as a chiropractor “is to correct anything that gets in the way of a properly functioning nervous system – whether it is what’s being consumed, how the body and spine are moving, or what a person’s day to day thought process is. You, the patient, are the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. I am here to offer the finest chiropractic care possible, and with the amazing testing from The Wellness Way make appropriate recommendations, work together to achieve goals and allow the body to work at its most optimal level. Let me know how I can help your specific needs! I am very excited to meet you in the office!”

For a month of being injured, he was unable to run, kick a ball, or even perform the simple task of bending over. After exhausting his options in traditional healthcare without finding any solutions, Dr. Alex received care from a chiropractor who got him back on the ice in two weeks. It was that formative experience that led him to pursue a career in the health sciences.

After high school, Dr. Alex went on to attend the University of Minnesota – Duluth, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. After graduation, Dr. Alex decided to join the United States Army Corps of Engineers before attending chiropractic school at Northwestern. After beginning his studies at Northwestern, Dr. Alex became the president of the Veteran’s Club on campus and played a considerable role in advocating quality care for student veterans. While attending Northwestern, Dr. Alex also completed his Master of Science in Exercise Science at Concordia University – St. Paul. Obtaining this gave way to Dr. Alex writing his thesis on utilizing Jiu-Jitsu to manage PTSD symptoms in veterans, and now is an active member in the sport.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Alex changed his perspective from the traditional approach of sports chiropractic to that of The Wellness Way. He discovered that the Swiss Watch principles developed by founder Dr. Patrick Flynn made sense to him, and he admired the values of the organization. Soon after, Dr. Alex obtained an internship under Dr. Patrick at the main office in Green Bay, WI during his final trimester of chiropractic school. Dr. Alex has always been fascinated by the “why” behind the occurrence of every disease and what can be done to restore function. In the spring of 2022, Dr. Alex graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University with honors. The different perspective that Dr. Alex has learned through the Wellness Way has changed his life. As a sergeant, he always reminds his soldiers of General George S. Patton’s famous words: “if everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”

The Wellness Way – Eau Claire

Jessica grew up in Wisconsin Rapids but has made Eau Claire her home for the past 25 years. As a UW-Eau Claire graduate with a BA and MBA in Finance, she spent many years in the business world, active in the Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals, and other community organizations. From an early age, healthy living was instinctively a part of Jessica’s life. As an athlete in her teens, she knew her body felt better when fueled by real food. But it was Jessica’s experience as a new mom that ultimately pushed her to change her career path.

When her oldest son was three, he developed a terrible cough resulting in a doctor’s visit resulting in a diagnosis for pneumonia and a round of antibiotics. The cough cleared up right away, but just as quickly returned a couple weeks later. After the second round with the same cough returning, Jessica suspected something else was triggering his reaction. A friend suggested getting his food allergies tested. Since this was outside of the doctor’s recommendation, she travelled to Children’s Hospital in MN and learned that her son had 5 IgE (anaphylactic) allergies from food he was eating almost daily. Those foods were removed from his diet and the coughing never returned.

This sparked a revelation in Jessica that something like this could be not only misdiagnosed, but also led to rounds of unnecessary antibiotics and destroyed her son’s already fragile gut microbiome. His allergies persisted through his entire childhood, often accompanied with hives, lots of digestive issues, and most notably

behavior issues, including ADHD. Everything she saw started to line up as becoming increasingly common for many kids, yet it wasn’t normal!

Through a lot of research, Jessica began dig for the root cause of these issues. It was her husband who began following Dr. Patrick Flynn and the Wellness Way. She joined the Academy to become a Health Restoration Practitioner because it felt like all the dots had finally been connected from her entire life. Her instincts were always there; the body does not make mistakes. We need to find and remove the triggers and allow our bodies to heal from the inside.

Now, as a mom of four children, she is a fierce protector of her children’s health and wellbeing, including learning more about childhood vaccines and their link to common childhood ailments. Her family follows The Wellness Way lifestyle, eliminating foods that their bodies can’t have, yet still enjoying nourishing, tasty meals.

Jessica knows and understands the challenges that come with this journey, and she wants to make it easier for individuals and families based on her experience and Wellness Way Academy training.

In her free time, Jessica enjoys homesteading, gardening, food preservation, scratch cooking, and learning new ways to prepare nutrient dense foods. Her family enjoys camping, water skiing, and finding fun places to hike while on road trips.

The Wellness Way – Marquette

Katie grew up in a small town in lower Michigan with her family and from a young age had a passion for helping people. She always felt naturally inclined to pursue a career in health care of some sort. Traditional medicine was all she ever knew as a child and certain events challenged her trust in it as she watched some of her loved pass away from cancer. She believed there had to be something more than just a medication or treatment for every health issue that a person develops.

At thirteen, she went through some trying events that were very traumatic to physically and emotionally. However, she believes that without that, she would not have ended up on the path she is now, in restorative health with The Wellness Way. Her health started to decline after that happened. She was put on multiple medications that caused extreme weight gain, brain fog, digestive issues, and major inflammation. By 14 she had gained almost 100 pounds within a year and had zero idea how to get a handle on it. She saw therapists and psychiatrists and medical doctors who all told her to just work on portion control. That was the only solution they had. So, she continued on, until her early adulthood when she believed issues with her thyroid were becoming out of hand. Of course, her doctor said her TSH looked great, and thyroid is fine. She disagreed. Then a friend told her about this doctor in Iron Mountain who had helped bring her husband’s cancer into remission by using food and herbs and lifestyle changes. That sparked her interest big time as she had so many struggles with her health that she couldn’t find answers to. So, she made an appointment with this doctor, and it was the best decision she could have made.

At 21 years old she was finally able to get answers to her health questions that she had for so long. She was given a clear path to achieving her health goals and none of it included medications! That was music to her ears. She made major lifestyle changes with her diet, supplements, beauty products, and most importantly in her mindset! The phrase that she heard at The Wellness Way that stuck with her the most was, “The body does not make mistakes. It only responds to its environment.” She put her body in the right environment and her life started to change. Weight loss, clear skin, major reduction in depression and anxiety, minimal pain, and increased quality of life were just some of the benefits she saw. She knew that with this approach to health, her life would never be the same.

At 23 she married her husband, became a stepmom to three beautiful kids and soon after had a baby boy of their own. Her family soon jumped on board and also started making changes and eventually got tested at The Wellness Way and started seeing incredible results of their own.

Since that first appointment she had, she knew she had found her passion. She had worked in traditional health care as a CNA for years and knew that was not her path. So as soon as the opportunity to join The Wellness Way Academy arose, she took it and never looked back. After graduating, she decided she wanted to bring this approach to health to her own community of Marquette and start
changing lives!

In her free time, she loves traveling, playing, and writing music, swimming, long boarding and of course spending time with her family!

The Wellness Way – Shipshewana

Andrew has over 8 years of hands-on experience, working in the natural health field under the direct mentorship of several other Doctors of Natural Medicine. During this time he completed his degree in Bachelor of Natural Health Studies. He also became certified in live cell analysis, and did health consultations on a daily basis. He taught under well known doctors and practitioners such as Dr. Robert Morse, Dr. Calvin Streeter DO, John Keim, William Christner ND, and others.

From an early age, Andrew questioned how the body functions, why the body gets sick, and wondered what could be done to prevent disease. He was not satisfied with the mediocre idea that sickness and disease were simply a matter of time in coming and there was nothing that could be done to prevent it. It only made sense that the health of the body could be maintained just like a car or any other equipment. Surely one didn’t have to wait until he was faced with heart surgery or chemo/radiation to start thinking about maintaining health! He found that detoxifying and alkalizing the body were priorities in keeping the body well and alive.

Andrew’s interest in the study of the human body may have been born in part through his own intestinal problems as a young boy. Or perhaps from watching friends and relatives dying prematurely from the diseases of today’s society. Struggling with what seems to have been gluten and lactose intolerance, Andrew suffered a lot of gut pain. After several years of engaging natural medicine, raw foods, and fasting in his early 20’s, those issues greatly improved.

In a culture where home remedies are the norm in every household, there was never a shortage of old remedies, concoctions, etc. The hottest one Andrew ever made was a combination of fresh ground habanero peppers, garlic, horseradish, ginger root, and onions in a base of apple cider vinegar. It was called Flu Buster. A shot of that either cured you or killed you.

The Wellness Way – Aurora

Dr. Veronica De La Cruz, knew early on that she wanted to help people live a happy and healthy life.

As a teenager (16 years old), she collapsed on the dinner table from exhaustion due to the demands put on her body by working long hours at the farm, school and stress.

She went to her medical doctor by herself (without parents) because she felt very sick and had a rash on her body. She walked out very disappointed after being told that it was normal for her age and just to rub some cream on the rash.

No labs done. No exam done. No hope.

Also, her dad passed away at the age of 62 from massive heart attack. He worked so hard all his life for the American dream, only to collapse and not enjoy everything he had earned. That incident was another awakening that she needed to help people like her dad, which did not receive the proper care.

There had to be a different approach that would give people the proper healing and hope.

And that became her mission in life, to find another way to get people their health back and thus real joy in life.

We should not vibrate at low frequency due to poor health but high vibration to reach our optimal potential.

She attended University of Illinois where she received her bachelors in 1997 and received a second bachelors in human biology and Doctorate of Chiropractic from National University of Health Sciences in 2001.

She is passionate about enhancing her education by attending seminars around the country for personal and health education growth every year.

She is bilingual English and Spanish.

PERSONAL: She loves to do Crossfit because it physically challenges her mind and body. She loves to travel the world and immerse herself in other cultures to better understand citizens on this earth.

The Wellness Way – Seymour

“L’Amour fascinated me when I was a kid” Paul says. Along with being an author, he was an elephant trainer, a deck hand, a boxer, a ranch hand…he did everything. I wanted to have a lot of experiences, too. So, I’ve been an Army medic in charge of a clinic in Korea, a truck driver, dishwasher, a deck hand on a river boat, an electrician, carpenter, writer, a shoe repairman and a web developer and marketing manager for a manufacturer. I have a B.S. in history from Georgia College & State University, and I graduated from chiropractic school in 2002.

Dr. Hambrick was led to become a chiropractor after a powerful personal experience. When I was in the army, I was working in the motor pool one day, and jumped off the back of a truck. I landed on a patch of ice and slipped and wrenched my back. I immediately felt pain in my low back that radiated down the back of my leg.

I had grown up under traditional chiropractic care and knew I needed one, but since I was in a country that didn’t license chiropractors and since the military, at that time did not utilize chiropractic care, I was out of luck. I just had to live with the pain until I came home, and it gradually got worse and worse.

When I got back to the States, one of my first stops was my chiropractor, and I had relief, but it only lasted a very short while, and required several visits to experience any lasting relief. By ‘lasting’ I mean relief that lasted longer than just a few hours. I continued to deal with low back and sciatic pain on a near constant basis for the next 10 years.

As luck would have it, Dr. Hambrick’s sister was engaged to a chiropractic student who would be a fourth generation chiropractor and whose family had prominently practiced specific upper cervical chiropractic for several generations.

I thought all chiropractors were the same, but as it was explained to me, an upper cervical chiropractor focuses on the correction of the first bone in the spine, called the atlas bone. Being the first bone in the spine, and the bone through which all the nerves in the body pass through, if it’s not corrected properly, then the problem hasn’t really been corrected. I was working as an electrician at the time, and this concept made sense to me because if the main circuit breaker on a panel is tripped, then it doesn’t matter how many light bulbs you change… it’s still going to be dark. To me, it seemed the atlas bone was like the main circuit breaker of your nervous system.

Paul received his first upper cervical correction from the chiropractic student on a day when his back and sciatic nerve was particularly painful.

He used an archaic machine to make the adjustment to my neck. I heard the sound the machine made, but felt practically nothing when the adjustment was made because it was so gentle. However, when I sat up on the table, I could tell something was different. I felt different. I stood up and my pain was GONE! Not only was my pain gone, but I could tell something had changed… something was ‘fixed.’ This wasn’t just pain relief. My problem had been corrected!

It wasn’t long after this that Dr. Hambrick made the decision to share with other suffering people the solution that had elluded him for so many years.

Functional chiropractic isn’t the answer to everyone’s health problems, but it is the answer for some. For those people who have ‘tried everything’ but haven’t had their nervous system checked, it’s worth getting checked and ruling out whether functional chiropractic care might be the solution to your problem.

While Dr. Hambrick started his career journey with the sole purpose of correcting atlas misalignments, he has since learned how to take care of all kinds of structural and neurological problems without the use of drugs or surgery. He has learned to help people with migraines, disc problems, chronic degenerative knee pain, peripheral neuropathy and he has even learned how to have healthy, happy, pain-free feet using a natural approach that also helps with their other structural problems as well. If your foundation is structurally sound, then the rest of your body has a better chance of being structurally sound,”” says Dr. Hambrick.

I believe the job of a chiropractor, especially one who practices functional chiropractic is to find nerve interference and correct it; whether it is occurring as a result of spinal misalignments, structural imbalance, nerve impingement, joint proprioception problems, nutritional deficiencies or even brain injuries. Functional chiropractors try to restore, recharge and refuel malfunctions in the nervous system wherever they are occurring, without the use of drugs or surgery.

I’m able to understand different perspectives. I’ve been a business owner, an employer, and an employee. I’ve been a child and a parent. I’m able to retain key life lessons in everything I do, and apply what I’ve learned. This is especially true as I try to help you solve your health problem.

Paul enjoys producing and publishing two podcasts, both relating to upper cervical chiropractic. He publishes an upper cervical patient newsletter. He and his family are active members of Trinity Lutheran Church in Springfield, MO. He also likes to read, but is quick to say his priorities are his wife and six children.

My kids range in age from 4 year to 13 years,”” Paul says, so there’s not much free time. We try to do a lot of family stuff. Right now life is taken up with little people and I want to be a good influence on them. I want to teach them things. It’s a big responsibility.

Beth Cook D.C. graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station, TX with her Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Science with a Minor in Dance. She then went onto Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, TX to earn her Doctorate of Chiropractic and Bachelors of Science in Health and Wellness. It wasn’t until college that Dr. Beth Cook had any experience with chiropractic care. She shadowed a Chiropractor out of curiosity and was blown away at the power chiropractic had.

The Wellness Way – Eau Claire

A Wisconsin native, Dr. Jordan grew up in Milwaukee, WI. In high school, he participated in many sporting events, including track and field, wrestling, and CrossFit. Though these activities exposed him to the world of wellness, he first discovered his passion for chiropractic and a different perspective on healthcare when some of his family members became very sick and passed away at young ages. While his family’s health history heavily influenced Dr. Jordan’s road to chiropractic work, his own health struggles also played a large role.

Early in high school, Dr. Jordan began experiencing knee pain that prevented him from participating in track and field. The pain was so bad that he crawled to the athletic trainer during practice one day, just to be told he should “ice and rest it.” Instead, Dr. Jordan eventually found relief from his pain by fueling his body correctly and receiving chiropractic adjustments to his knees and feet. Dr. Jordan spent years researching answers and seeking a different perspective, which led him to realize that the human body doesn’t make mistakes, and it is capable of healing itself. With his new understanding, Dr. Jordan became passionate about ensuring none of his patients would have to go so long without answers to their health concerns.

Dr. Jordan has significant training and hands-on experience, beginning with his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. There he studied Pre-Med and Kinesiology, later going on to pursue his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. While working on his doctorate, Dr. Jordan studied with top chiropractors in the profession and trained for three and a half years under world recognized spine and extremity expert, Dr. Mitch Mally. Dr. Jordan had the honor of traveling to England and France with Dr. Mally to teach techniques to other chiropractic students, an opportunity that only the most dedicated interns receive! He also spent three years learning from the Wellness Way practitioners in the student program while going through school, and another seven months training beside Dr. Patrick Flynn at the Wellness Way corporate office in Green Bay, WI.

Dr. Jordan is extremely passionate about finding the root cause to problems and helping his patients unlock the body’s full potential for recovery. He truly believes that the healing journey can begin for anyone at any age, and he lives by the words of his mentors, seeking wisdom and working with consistency and purpose.

The Wellness Way – Knoxville

Dr Jason Smith, or “Doc” as most will know him, is as analytical as analytical gets. The reason I start out with that sentence is that it speaks to the fact that he wants to get it right. No matter what it is, he wants to do it right and that is innate to who he is. So when you come into Liberty Chiropractic, you aren’t just coming for an adjustment…you are saying yes to getting it right.

Dr. Jason Smith was born in Texas, raised in Kansas, and attended high school in Georgia. In all of these states, he wrestled and over the years developed the character of an elite athlete who learned to sacrifice wants for the need to achieve, put hard work before play, to set goals and achieve them all the way to becoming a high school State Champion for Troup County in Georgia. He went on to wrestle for Carson Newman University and graduated with a bachelors of Science.

Jason continued his education at Life Chiropractic University to fulfill his dream of being a chiropractor. After graduating Magma cum laude, he went to Dothan, AL and practiced under a seasoned, well-established Chiropractor. When it was time to put down roots, he and his wife Cyndi knew that their roots were in east Tennessee. So, in 1998, his dream finally came to reality. Doc hung his very own sign and began his practice here in Knoxville. Over the years he made some name changes, upgrades, and acquired more education. The one thing that has not changed is his passion to help people lead a high quality of life. Doc has had the same vision since the beginning, to release people to live up to their full potential and provide healing and hope to others. His philosophy in life is if you’re going to do something, go all out and be your best. He carries this out daily in how he cares for his patients, himself and his hobbies.

Dr. Ryan grew up in Gainesville, Florida. He has always been amazed by the complexity of the human body; Anatomy and Physiology was his favorite subject! While studying at the University of Florida, he decided he wanted to help those who were sick become well again. To do that, he knew he needed to take a whole-body approach, and in 2013, he graduated with a doctorate degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, FL. Through his years of education, this quote from Thomas Edison has always inspired him, “The doctor of the future will give no medications but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause of prevention of disease.”

Knowing that our bodies never make a mistake and we have an amazing ability to heal ourselves, we can begin the healing process by fixing the “master controller” of the body, the nervous system. As a Wellness Way practitioner, he is better able to help people with an array of conditions such as hormone imbalances, GI issues, auto-immune, infertility concerns, and so much more by starting with the root of the problem: inflammation.

As a youth, Dr. Shannon Bundy played every sport her school offered. She was MVP of her softball team, the only girl on the soccer team, a second-degree black belt, and won first place as National Kickboxing Champion when she was 16. After graduation, she immediately went to college where she was in school for 8 years, sat constantly, completely stopped working out, and gave birth to 5 children. What a life flip! It does not take much to imagine the toll this took on her emotionally and physically. Fortunately, this started her journey on recognizing how the everyday health decisions we make “Toxins, Trauma, and Thoughts” greatly affect a persons quality of life.

Dr. Bundy specializes in health restoration. This means she thinks and acts differently to solve the health care challenges others cannot. This includes high quality testing, in-depth custom labs, and hands on support for her patients individual needs. This different perspective allows her to work with many different health conditions such as: autoimmune, cancer, hormones, thyroid, infertility, digestive concerns, physical ailments and so much more.

Graduating in 2017 from Texas Chiropractic College, she has an Associates in Biology, a Bachelors in Human Biology, and is a Doctor of Chiropractic.

I grew up in Pleasanton, CA and graduated from Amador Valley High School in 1992.

It was in York where I met my wife Shelby, who is from Rhinelander, WI. We married in August of 1995. I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduated in June of 1999. I have been in private practice in Fayette, MO., since April of 2001, and now have a second location in Columbia, MO., since 2005. We have 4 wonderful children Aiden, Myy, Emi and Zechman.

I absolutely love what I have been called to do, and that is to help families maximize their health potential through Chiropractic. No other profession gets to intimately work with the innate healing potential the Creator placed in each of us like the Chiropractic profession. Every day we get to witness lives changing and health improving by turning on the power of the human body through spinal corrections. When the brain and body can talk without interruption, the Creator’s design can do what is was designed to do and that is to heal on its own. We look forward to the opportunity of sharing our passion for living healthy full lives and taking part in your health goals.

The Wellness Way – Iron Mountain

I was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden where my family still resides. I started my Chiropractic career as a 16 year old when I received my first adjustment. Having gained major benefits from getting adjusted, it sparked my interest to learn more about the profession and health in general.

I did most of my undergraduate studies in Sweden and finished them in the US before I started Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Going thru the program completely opened my eyes to health and what it really is. It changed my mindset from the allopathic thinking of sick care to a functional healthcare way of thinking. I realized that the sick care model is failing as people are just getting sicker and chronic disease is on the rise. I learned that we have to take a more functional and preventative approach to regain and keep our health. The answer to our health problems cannot be found in a bottle of pills.

I have been a Chiropractor now for 17 years. I have worked in England, Ireland, Sweden and USA during those years and I have gained a lifetime of experience. One thing that I have realized is that it doesn’t matter what country you are in, the health of people is slowly deteriorating. There are rising levels of chronic disease lurking around the corner. People are taking more medication, only to see their health get worse. It is difficult to stand back and watch this deterioration when we have solutions to these ailments!

This is our mission today… helping people regain their health and preventing them from heading down the path of chronic disease, medications by the handful, a loss of happiness and a reduced lifespan. We aim to teach others that there is another way to live; a healthy way full off vitality and happiness. Not simply ‘just getting by day to day’. It’s about quality not quantity. Together, we can make it happen!

The Wellness Way – Iron Mountain

From a very young age, I knew my calling in life was to help others. My journey began with my first adjustment when I was 14. I suffered with horrible menstrual issues and chiropractic care was my only relief!! Not only did my female problems improve immensely, but other GI issues also cleared up. I made the decision to pursue chiropractic as a profession just shortly after starting college. I didn’t truly understand the impact chiropractic could have on health until I began school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport IA.

Upon graduation, Dr. Tomas and I practiced in England for one year before opening our own practice in Galway, Ireland. We married in 2004 and had our first child, Madelaine, in 2006…born at home. Raising children so far from family was not our intent and we began the process of moving back to the USA. In 2009 we were blessed with our second child Alexander and in 2012 our third child Samuel, both also born at home.

Helping to restore health through chiropractic care is of huge importance, however practicing for the past 17 years in 3 different countries has also taught me that our society is in need of more. We have NO clear understanding of what it means to be healthy or how our daily choices impact or vitality. I know this from my own personal experience and watching that of my family and friends. Our world needs a wake-up call. And we are ready to take on that challenge! Our aim is to help our patients become ‘HEALthy’…through HEALing. Whether that be with chiropractic care, the Wellness Way Approach, nutrition or diet changes, we are here to help!
