I have a client who came to me with Vision Problems, one eye was going out to the side and he had it taped off. Doctors were talking surgery. We started working on his neck muscles and he came to see me every week. After a few weeks he walked in with the biggest smile on his face, took the tape off and said, “look, it’s getting better” a few months later his eye was back to normal. He didn’t have to go through with the surgery and has his normal vision back these days. He still comes and sees me for maintenance about once per month but the eye remains good. Most likely cause was tight neck muscles putting pressure on his vision nerve and we were able to release this. I am so happy i was able to help Read more>>

Earlier this year, we had a new family (Zoë, her two sisters, and her parents) move to the area who benefit from our free therapeutic and educational programs at GiGi’s Playhouse Canton. It is always a treat meeting new families and welcoming them to the Playhouse, but part of what makes this particular interaction so heartwarming is a conversation I will never forget. Read more>>

I began my career with State Farm as an auto claims adjuster in 1989 and later as an independent insurance agent in 1997. Many highs and lows of being a small business owner has created very memorial experiences in helping my customers over the years. I am humbled in their trust and the ability to assist the needs, concerns and dreams. Through my profession, I’ve made lifelong friendships and established many valuable business connections. Periodic reviews of insurance and financial services are part of my agency, thus making sure customers understand their coverages and get to meet their agent in person. Read more>>

I want to preface that my answer involves the discussion of suicidal ideation and depression. I have been involved in patient care since 2018 and I have had the opportunity to work with a multitude of people from all walks of life. I had a very unique opportunity to spend the last six months of chiropractic school doing my internship at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Palo Alto, CA and the community outreach clinic in San Jose, CA. The time that I spent in the VA fundamentally changed the way that I approach patient care and gave me the practical and clinical competency needed to be successful in practice. Read more>>

The countless stories of transformation in my participants are always a cause for celebration. I remember a quiet, teenage girl with severe social anxiety who had been seeing a therapist for a year. She usually spent entire office sessions without speaking a word – she never uttered a full sentence. She was dangerously underweight, giving up on life. She and her therapist started coming out to the farm for weekly sessions and she changed dramatically in front of our eyes. In six months, her horse, Norman, showed her how to be herself. She made eye contact with us, she answered questions, she asked questions, and she engaged in conversation with us. Most of all she learned about taking care of her body from caring for Norman.
