Her chiropractic journey began in the hospital working in an integrative setting at a Department of Defense Hospital at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, treating wounded warriors, she then transitioned into working in a sports chiropractic setting, before she began her own practice and put her focus into her true passion of women and family health.
