Stretching and exercise are a part of my daily routine, as are relaxation techniques. Today, I can say my I enjoy an active lifestyle and live most days #painfree. Little did I know that starving myself and then eating the wrong things was causing my illness. I also found out the headaches were caused from hypoglycemia, because I would skip meals to diet. The pain was excruciating! It was real! Through my chiropractic, yoga, and bodywork training I learned that I did have the ability to change my condition. I thought I was going to have to have surgery. There were multiple times my back “went out” where I was dragging my leg and could barely walk. I just figured I was born this way and that’s the card I had been dealt. I could barely do 5 sit ups in physical conditioning class. I was “sway back” and had very little core strength. I basically had a fracture of my L5 vertebrae, not caused by the wreck, but by my poor posture. At age 18 I had a major wreck and learned from x-ray that I had a condition called spondylolytic spondylolistesis. I always remember having lower back pain and headaches.
I was drawn to chiropractic through my own plight with pain and sickness as a child.
It is my goal and my purpose to help those suffering with chronic ailments how they can begin to live a more fulfilling life. A lot has changed since then and we have more accessibility, but many people suffer from chronic pain and illness and are not living good quality lives. You could say we were the “Hello Fresh” of our times.

We began a fruit and vegetable co-op, selling a “share bag” with recipes on how to cook the ingredients. I wanted my patients to have greater accessibility so they could live better quality lives. In my own quest for health and wellness, and with limited resources to achieve this at the time, I decided to open a yoga studio and organic food store, OKC Organics. I wanted to help people heal their body to the best of their ability by committing to lifestyle choices that would support a healthy body and mind. I feel this experience caused a self transformation that not only made me physically, mentally and emotionally stronger, but also gave me insight to how I wanted to run my practice. The coursework also involved mindful eating and meditation. I decided I wanted to take a yoga certification program so I could learn the art of breathwork and asana (posture). I noticed a change in my stress levels, flexibility and posture. Shortly after graduating, I began to practice yoga.
I received my Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker University in Dallas in 1997. My undergraduate studies in psychology were at The University of Oklahoma. I am the founder of Chiropractic Wellness Clinic and OKC Wellness Clinics, and am one of the treating physicians at the clinic.
