We have begun the search for a new chiropractor to join us. Whenever this happens, we will add another awesome person to help Shawna and Michelle with front desk support. Check out this video and look out for more to come!

We would love to have more days and hours available to all of you for adjustments.

We will post more specific ‘hiring ads’ soon, but wanted to let you all know in case you or someone you know may be interested in either the chiropractor or front desk roles at the office. Reply if interested!

He has 17 years of experience and we look forward to introducing him to you all in the newsletter next month!

The 3 Most Common Things I Hear As a Woman’s Coach:

What They Share & Two Steps To Address

From my wife, Dina…

In this post I’ll do three things:

  • First, share 3 things I hear most often in coaching women.

  • Second, share what they have in common, and how they play out in life.

  • Lastly, give 2 steps to help address them – and ways you can go even further.

So let’s get to it!

Michelle Ballew- Doula

A message from Michelle…

You may know me from the front desk at Thrive but I am also a full spectrum doula. I work with clients during reproductive health events, fertility, pre-natal, birth and postpartum periods. I trained and I am certified through Doulas Trainings International (DTI).

I am so very passionate about the work that I do and I am excited to share this with our wonderful clients at the office. It is very likely I have spoken to some of you about something birth adjacent before! I love answering questions and talking about why this work is so important.

I am currently taking clients for late fall/winter and into 2023. 

You can follow my journey on social media @chelle_the_doula or my website chellethedoula.squarespace.com and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, [email protected].

Many of you with allergies have had success with a natural product we began stocking earlier this year for seasonal allergies, D-Hist. There are adult and youth versions of this product available at the office.

Clinical Applications:

  • Supports Immune Balance in Hypersensitive Individuals

  • Promotes Normal Viscosity of Mucus

Natural D-Hist® is a targeted blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, proteolytic enzymes and botanicals designed to provide comprehensive support for seasonal challenges caused by common environmental allergens. The formula includes quercetin, bromelain, stinging nettles leaf and N-acetyl cysteine. The powerful combination actively promotes healthy nasal and sinus passages for individuals with elevated histamine and respiratory irritation.
