Choosing chiropractic wasn’t just about choosing a career; it was about choosing to live in alignment with who I am and how I want to serve others.
My journey into chiropractic started at home, walking through my mom’s health battles alongside her. She endured misdiagnoses, overprescription of medications, and conflicting advice that left us without clear answers. Watching her go through that planted a seed in me: there had to be a better way to care for the body.
That conviction led me straight to chiropractic school, where I found a philosophy that finally made sense: support the body, don’t override it.
The more I learned, the more I fell in love with the nervous system approach, the idea that when the nervous system is functioning well, the whole body can adapt and heal. Chiropractic became more than a profession; it became a calling to help people reach their fullest potential.
After graduation, life brought me full circle. My mom’s health reached a critical point where she needed a liver transplant, and I was a perfect match. Donating part of my liver to her was the most humbling honor of my life. Even as I walked through major surgery myself, I leaned on the same values I had built my career on: trusting the body’s ability to heal and choosing to focus on thriving, not just surviving.
A couple of months post-op, both my mom and I are doing incredibly well. We couldn’t have asked for a more successful surgery or smoother recovery. Watching her regain her strength while I’ve healed alongside her has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.
I am deeply grateful for modern medicine. It saved my mom’s life, and I honor that.
But this journey also confirmed what I believe with my whole heart: families deserve more than just prescriptions and temporary fixes. They deserve care that honors the body’s design, empowers them with choices, and supports their health for the long run.
This experience shaped me into the chiropractor I am today.
Every adjustment, every consultation, every moment I spend with a patient is an opportunity to help someone experience the freedom, vitality, and resilience their body was designed to provide. My “why” is simple but powerful: I never want another family to feel the confusion and helplessness that mine once did. Instead, I want to walk alongside families toward hope, healing, and health, the way it was always meant to be.
