What's your business, and who are your customers?
Our business is a Family Chiropractic Office. We serve babies, pregnant people, adults, and children to support their health and overall ability to live life to the fullest!
Tell us about yourself
I started with a desire to connect and serve others while being passionate about health. My goal is to help shift a paradigm of our country having an extremally high disease rating. In order to shift a health conversation, I believe one must start with empowering a young generation with more options than our current health care system in America has to offer. My motivation lies within connecting, supporting, and serving the city and community where I grew up in. Seeing shift's in families' health, feeling empowered about one's birth, and a child sleeping through the night and or feeling better is what drives me.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Surviving a pandemic and opening our space right when everything shut down.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The delicate balance of self-care, turning one's brain off while attempting to disconnect.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Do something you are passionate about! Make decisions about what's congruent for YOU and no one else. Create a lifestyle with the business that includes BALANCE.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
We love what we do... Our open family environment creates a safe space for all in a world with many polarizing challenges. We are an openly gay-owned business that supports BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, LEO, and all sorts of diverse families. We support you and have a "come as you are" approach. You can be messy, happy, sad, in pain, and all sorts of things here. We aim to Serve, Empower, & Support our members.. and include free hugs and high fives in your health journey!
