In 2014, it is fairly uncommon to see a student right out of
chiropractic school open up their own office. All throughout my training I was
sure that I wanted to associate with another chiropractor as soon as I graduated,
since I found the thought of opening up my own business very frightening.
However, as school went on, I gained numerous helpful mentors and I began to
become more and more confident with my abilities and myself. It wasn’t long
until I realized that I was meant to open up my own practice. I made this
decision about a year out from graduation and since then, there has been no
looking back. I have dove head first into the ins and outs of what it takes to
open your own business, and it gets me more excited every day.
I’ve always
known growing up that in some way I wanted to be around and help kids. My
original thoughts as a young kid was to be a teacher. Not long later, chiropractic
fell into my hands. What better way to be around kids than to be a chiropractor
who gets to help make sure children stay healthy? They’re always happy,
energetic, and are sure to cheer you up, which is exactly what I want my days
to be filled with. I was so remarkably excited when I found out that I was
going to intern for Dr. Rubin! It’s been such an amazing opportunity to get the
exposure that I have while being in his office. I’ve benefited tremendously
from being around and learning from one of the top chiropractic pediatric
specialists in this country. I couldn’t thank him enough for the experience I’ve
gained. It has definitely reassured my confidence in being able to open my own
office right after graduation.
This past
week I got the chance to go back home to Ohio and look at potential office
spaces. It was a very surreal feeling knowing that I’m finally at the end of
the road. I’ve waited and waited for this time for the last 3 ½ years and now
that it’s finally here I’ve become overwhelmed with excitement and nerves.
There have been hours of research put in to finding a location and office space
and it has definitely all paid off. My decision to go back to Ohio was an easy
one. I’ve always been a family person and 3 ½ years away from my family was a
wonderful experience but long enough. I will begin my chiropractic career near
Dublin, Ohio, close to family and friends!
My practice
will be family based with a large variety of kids. I’m eager to see children
with a wide range of problems from autism spectrum disorders, asthma,
allergies, ADHD, to parents who just want their children to stay healthy and
vibrant. I also plan to see expecting mothers, where I will work to improve the
neuro-biomechanical function of the mother’s pelvis by reducing SI joint dysfunction
or a sacral subluxation to keep her and the baby free of any nerve
interference. My passion to help kids and families is tremendous and the
journey where it will all begin is in the rapidly approaching near future!
Finally, I
would just like to say how extremely blessed I am to have 5-6 of the greatest
mentors that anyone could ever ask for, my parents being two of them. Without these individuals constantly pushing
me and encouraging me through the tough times and now being there more than
ever to help me get my own practice up and running, I could never be where I’m
at today. I couldn’t thank these individuals enough for the endless phone
calls, visits, talks and emails with questions and concerns that I’ve had and
continue to have. There is no doubt I was put on this earth to become a
chiropractor and there will be nothing that stops me from achieving this life
long dream.
