Life, Health, Love, Happiness, and Randomness!

Hi! This first post is just to introduce myself.  I have never done a blog before, and part of my new years resolution was to start a blog and post something once a week.  I'm getting a head start on my new years resolutions! I would like this blog to be educative- especially in health, wellness, chiropractic, and nutrition.  I will also talk about random life events too.  Now I am not the most advanced writer, so I am apologizing in advance for any grammatical errors! :) I would like this to just be a fun place to learn, laugh, and get engaged - leave me a comment- what would you like me to talk about?

I own Complete Wellness Chiropractic in West Des Moines, IA. I grew up in Iowa and received my undergraduate degree in Biology at Simpson College in Indianola. While growing up, I was involved in showing horses, and suffered a few acute equestrian injuries. When I began getting headaches everyday around the age of 13 that even the strongest, most expensive medications wouldn’t touch, I was taken to our family chiropractor. After a couple of adjustments my headaches were gone and I was living a happier life headache free. 

I graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, TX. I have also completed over half of the pediatric diplomat through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), and am Webster Technique Certified.

After graduating from Chiropractic College, I continued to gain life changing experiences. I spent time in the Dominican Republic on a chiropractic mission trip, where together with a team of chiropractors, delivered chiropractic care (at no cost), to thousands of people even in the most remote villages.  I then Moved to New York City where I worked under one of the most highly regarded doctors in New York, and learned first hand the most innovative spinal techniques.

After all of these wonderful life experiences, there is no place like home. I moved home to Iowa in 2009 and opened Complete Wellness Chiropractic. I am excited to be close to my family and friends again. I just recently married the love of my life, Rex.  Rex is also the office manager, so we spend a lot of time together! I feel very compassionate about my work, and am driven by my passion to help others. This blog will be about Life, Health, Love, Happiness, and Randomness.  I hope you find it helpful to create a happier life for you!
