Who am I?
I graduated in 1992 from Life Chiropractic College
in Marietta, Georgia,
and completed my residency in Miami,
Florida. I am married to the love of my life, Mike, and
have a beautiful daughter, Brianna. I
have been established in practice since 1993, and am a bilingual educator on
the topics of health & wellness to both the American & Hispanic
community. I have extensive public
speaking experience and have created a powerful lecture series entitled Every
Body For Life.
Why I became a Chiropractor?
As with any active young
woman, playing competitive softball and approaching the time to sign an
athletic scholarship, I secretly suffered with lower back pain and severe
menstrual cycles. And at that time I was told this pain was just part of
being a woman. No one seemed to
understand that the pain I was experiencing and the irregularity of my cycle
was affecting more than just my physical well being. It was having an impact on my social, mental
and emotional life as well. It was not
until I suffered a severe softball collision that my parents took me to see my
first Chiropractor. The relief of my
lower back pain was an expected outcome, however, the resolution of my severe
menstrual cramps was above my expectations. The true bonus was the overall improvement of my physical performance on
the softball field. Needless to say, it
was this experience that shaped the course for the life I have today both
personally and professionally.
What is my approach?
It is hard to accept that
while Alabama is #1 in football we
are ranked 48th in our Nation on health. This drops us four slots from last year. Our state and community needs help more than ever before. Our society is over drugged and under
informed about exciting opportunities to enhance our lives and promote our
health. It is my goal to share my
strategy, passion and expertise of how to live a healthy, energetic, and
purposeful life filled with hope, endless possibilities and abundant health,
from a natural point of view. My Chiropractic
approach to Total Natural Health focuses on two key elements, a healthy and
fully functioning Nervous System and spinal column. These in conjunction with other elements such
as eating a natural diet, daily physical activity and healthy thinking
contribute to maximizing your body's health potential. Total Natural Health is about removing
limitations and developing specific gradual, sustainable life enhancing habits
that are easy to implement and lead to a healthier and vibrant you! I feel that by targeting the influencers
“MFTP’s”, (Mothers, Fathers, Teachers, and Preachers) we can change the
attitudes, awareness, behavior and overall direction of health in the State of Alabama.
Where am I heading?
It
has always been my dream to open a Chiropractic Community Wellness Center where families can
come and experience Total Natural Health first hand. A place that can be seen as a safe haven for adults,
families and children to come and participate in activities that will allow
them to incorporate healthy habits into their daily lives and build their own wellness
future. A place where one can identify
where they are with their health and lifestyle choices. By utilizing Chiropractic principles and
wellness lifestyle education, we can guide individuals to maximize their God
given potential of being the best spouse, professional and individual possible. It is important to realize unless we look at our
health from a different point of view, we will continue to repeat the past in
our future. It is TIME to move forward
and I look forward to helping this
community make that move.
