Chiropractic has been part of my life since before I was born - my father is a chiropractor, and our family has benefited from chiropractic care throughout my life. After my children were grown up and left home, I was suddenly inspired to return to school. Having spent much of my life as a caregiver and teacher, and seeing my father still actively practicing and joyfully helping people well into his 80’s, becoming a chiropractor felt like a natural next chapter.

What I did not fully understand until attending Life Chiropractic College West was just how remarkable chiropractic truly is. As I learned more about the body’s ability to heal and adapt, I began to look at the many health and healing stories within my own family in a new light. I realized how much our lifelong access to consistent chiropractic care had influenced our lives. That realization is where my own passion for chiropractic really began to take fire.

While at Life West, I met Dr. Merritt and had the opportunity to begin working with her. She has a great wealth of knowledge and experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from her as I continue developing my own approach to caring for others.
