"For the first twenty-three years of my life, I resided in a quiet little town in Michigan, called Hillsdale. After graduating from Hillsdale High, I spent three years studying science at Jackson Community College. From there, I transferred to Spring Arbor University where I studied literature for a year. I moved to Richmond about a year and a half ago and was introduced to the southern way of life. Thanks to the welcoming, warm people that I have met and have grown to love here, the transition was a breeze."

"In high school and during college, I worked seven and a half years in customer service and got the experience I needed to interact in a fast-paced society. Once settled in the quaint town of Chester, the opportunity arose for me to enter the health care industry. I have long known the benefit of holistic care from having a chiropractor as my only sibling. So I seized my chance and became a part of the CCVA family."

"When I was younger, around eighteen, I had a very physical job. I routinely lifted items that were anywhere from forty to seventy pounds every day. I was also on my feet for ten hours a day. I had gradually acquired what was later described as an over-use injury to my neck. I hadn't noticed there was a problem until I felt the first symptoms. It started when I would wake up in the morning with numb hands. Then these symptoms eventually occurred when I was driving. Finally, the worst of my discomfort came when my hands began waking me up at night every hour, throbbing and burning. If things had kept progressing, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to sleep at all. So I made my first appointment at the chiropractor. A few weeks later I was completely pain free and able to sleep again! Chiropractic has positively changed my life and it's great to see those same changes take place in the lives of others every day."
