After seeing first-hand the true miracles that can happen when you remove interference from one’s nervous system and allow their body to heal, she made it her mission to share her story with other parents so they too could experience life-changing results. It is through her laughter, empathy, smile and caring attitude that she gets to touch the lives of people in our community each day.

When Vanessa is not in the office, she lives by her mission by instilling the 5 Essentials in her family. She has 5 children at home that keep her active in the community through sports and groups that promote healthy all-natural parenting.

Susan Field, Business Manager

 

I started Chiropractic care in 1993 when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. After suffering with headaches during my first pregnancy, I decided to try something new. After my first adjustment, my morning sickness went away, and after just a few more I was headache free. The rest of my pregnancy was a breeze compared to my first one including a quick and easy delivery. Now, my whole family and I are chiropractic people for life!
