Hi, I’m Harriet!
The philosophy of Chiropractic truly resonates with me: the body inherently knows how to heal itself when there is no interference to the nervous system. My passion is sharing this approach through adjustments and education, helping people live their best lives.
I am the proud owner of The Chiro Crew, a place that holds special significance for me. I have been coming here since I was a little girl, and it feels incredibly meaningful to be part of the practice that has been a cornerstone of my own health journey. My journey with Chiropractic began in childhood when my mother brought my brother and me to her Chiropractor to ensure we grew up strong and adaptable. This early experience inspired me to become a Chiropractor myself.
Outside of the practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing music, dancing, and creating in the kitchen!
I look forward to helping you, your friends, and your family achieve optimal health and well-being!
