Jeannie, Office Manager
As a child, I recall turning down my mom’s offer for medication more often than not. Somehow, even then, I knew that my body didn’t need drugs for normal childhood sicknesses. But my family had a strong belief in the power of medicine, so as I became an adult, I began to rely more on medicine in general. I began to get sinus headaches as a teenager, and mom always had a cabinet full of medication that I could choose from. So I found myself reaching for drugs every time I got a headache. Before I met my husband, I was getting sinus headaches 3-4 times per week, and taking aspirin every time! It took me 3 months of dating him before I realized that I wasn’t taking any medication. I hadn’t had a headache in 3 months! Becoming a part of the chiropractic community has been like coming back to a long lost belief system. It is something I can believe in and stand behind with all my heart.

Christine, Massage Therapist
I am very excited to be working with the Chiropractic First family. As a child, my mother would bring me and my siblings to this very clinic to get adjustments from Dr. Meyer. I loved the atmosphere then, and it’s still the same today. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), and know the importance of keeping the body in healthy working order with regular adjustments and massage. I recently graduated from Everest Institute in February 2014, but Jeannie says it seems like I’ve been doing massage forever! It is very exciting to be able to put the things I have learned into action and begin helping others feel their best!
Christine was born and grew up in Grand Rapids. She loves being a mother and grandmother. Before changing careers and becoming a massage therapist, Christine worked at a bakery. She absolutely loves to make people feel better through massage and has had a lifelong interest in reflexology.
Carolina
Growing up I was always taught there are multiple ways to help our body fight sickness and diseases other than just medicine. My parents would take me to get adjustments only when we went to Mexico, but I could immediately notice the benefits of it. I did not continue my care due to life events; but since I’ve joined the amazing Chiropractic First family, I remembered how important it is to maintain our spine and central nervous system healthy. It’s an enjoyable moment seeing the improvements in our practice members.
Carolina speaks both Spanish and English. She was born in Galveston, Texas. Lived the island life till 2020, then changed it all for the cold weather and now making Grand Rapids MI her new home.
Indira
It’s an honor to be part of the Chiropractic First family. As a child my parents would take us to the chiropractor, I never really understood the importance of it until Dr. Heath took the time to educate me and the importance in the concern for spinal health. I love taking care of others and being part of a community that feels the same way brings joy to my life.
Indira grew up in Grand Rapids, MI. She is an outdoorsy girl that loves spending time with her family and helping the community.
