Meet Dr. Heather

Dr. Heather, Chiropractor

For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for people through chiropractic—from infants and growing families to busy adults, grandparents, athletes, and people who simply want to move and feel better.My interest in chiropractic began while I was working at the front desk of a chiropractic office during university. Day after day, I watched people walk through the door with different problems, different lives, and different reasons for being there and I watched chiropractic help them get back to doing the things that mattered to them. I knew I wanted to spend my life doing that.Today, that experience still shapes the way I practice. I take time to listen, understand what’s going on, and provide care that fits the person in front of me—not a one-size-fits-all plan.I’m also a mom, longtime homeschooler, tea drinker, and happiest somewhere near the water. After years of juggling family, work, and everyday life, I understand how easy it is to put your own health somewhere near the bottom of the list. I also know that feeling better matters—not just because you hurt less, but because it helps you keep doing the things and caring for the people that matter to you.That belief extends beyond my chiropractic practice through Healthy Made Easy, where I share practical resources for everyday health and family life. If you’d like to explore those resources, you’ll find Healthy Made Easy in the Resources section of this website.But here in my office, my focus is you. I want to understand what brought you in, what you’d like to be able to do better, and how I can help. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who will take the time to listen and care for you as an individual, I’d truly love to meet you. It would be my privilege to be part of your care.

Your Questions Answered:

Choosing chiropractic care should feel simple, not overwhelming. Here are answers to the most common questions I hear in practice.

Q: Do you take insurance?
No, I don’t bill insurance directly. This keeps visits affordable and avoids delays or surprise bills. Some patients may submit a receipt (superbill) for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Q: Do you accept medicare patients?
At this time, I do not participate with medicare.
Q: How much does it cost?
Adjustment: $55
New Patient Exam (includes first adjustment when appropriate): $85
(all fees are paid at time of service)
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, debit/credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and Venmo.
Q: What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first appointment takes about 30 minutes. We’ll review your health history, talk about your goals, and do an initial adjustment if appropriate.
Q: Do adjustments hurt?
Most patients feel relief, not pain. Adjustments are gentle, safe, and tailored to your comfort level.
Q: Can kids or pregnant women get adjusted?
Yes. I have advanced training in family and pediatric chiropractic care. Techniques are always gentle and appropriate for each stage of life.
Q: How often should I come in?
That depends on your goals. Some people come as needed, others choose regular wellness visits. I’ll make recommendations, but the decision is always yours.
Q: Do I need a referral?
No referral is required—you can book directly anytime.
