A Message From the Doctor
My ultimate goal is for patients to feel as healthy as possible, reach an ultimate level of well-being, and I want to dispel the myths about chiropractic care. My method is definitely not one-size-fits-all. I look at each patient’s symptoms, and I approach my patients with that in mind. How I treat them will be adapted to each patient’s circumstance…usually, the more extensive the injury, the more extensive and focused the treatment. It was my desire to help people become their optimal best. I was a personal trainer and felt limited in my ability to accomplish that goal. I wanted to be able to offer and do more.
For non-injury patients, I want them to get well enough after several visits to only need a maintenance/wellness visit every four to six weeks.
I stress the idea to ‘Get moving!’ People need to move - any form of exercise helps. I advise patients to stretch and recommend an optimum plan of stretching twice a day for at least 5-10 minutes each time. Diet is also essential for a successful, healthy lifestyle, and the number one piece of advice I give is 'Stay hydrated. Water is the beverage of choice!'
When I treat a new patient, I first educate him or her with what to expect from the treatments. In my practice, once the initial treatment is completed, the patient chooses whether to continue with wellness care. I also inform them about the benefits of chiropractic: anything to do with joints, muscles, and the spine.
The motivating principle behind any plan I develop is to keep the focus on what is best for my patients. My approach is to re-assess the efficacy of the plan after the first visit or two and revise it as necessary. The ultimate goal is to ensure that patients are comfortable when they’re here and receive the highest quality care. In the future, I plan to expand my business with additional locations to better serve my current patients and attract new ones in the Greater Metro Louisville community.
My commitment to being a doctor was and always will be to find and use the best possible techniques to help my patients achieve their personal, optimal best.

My philosophy in fitness is to help clients feel empowered through education and planned programming and to show them how exercise and healthy eating can improve their quality of life. I like to help people build confidence in and outside the gym and help them find the fun in fitness.
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Spalding University. My studies included human anatomy, Neuroanatomy (basic function of the nervous system), kinesiology, and healthy human movement patterns. I love learning and teaching about the mechanics and capabilities of the human body. I am a certified personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and truly embrace the Core Chiropractic philosophy and model of living a strong, healthy lifestyle.
I have been training clients in personal training and group environments in a local gym for the past 5 years and practicing OT in hospital and rehab settings for the past 16 years. My philosophy in fitness is to help clients feel empowered through education and planned programming and to show them how exercise and healthy eating can improve their quality of life. I like to help people build confidence in and outside the gym and help them find the fun in fitness. Resistance training will keep your bones strong and will keep you moving well all the way through life. So let’s get lifting!!
