Every story has a beginning. Here’s ours. 💙
Five years ago, Body Harmony of Arlington opened its doors.
And six months before that? Opening another chiropractic practice was absolutely not my plan.
I had sold my previous practice in Norfolk and moved to Arlington thinking I was headed in an entirely different direction. I was consulting with healthcare attorneys, teaching other chiropractors about documentation and compliance, and even applying to law school.
Then I started getting to know Arlington.
I realized there were relatively few chiropractors serving this part of the community, but more than that, I couldn’t find the kind of practice I knew I wanted to exist.
A place that brought chiropractic, acupuncture and massage therapy together.
A place where the music was calming, people could exhale when they walked through the door, and healthcare felt personal and collaborative instead of rushed.
And eventually I realized:
Arlington didn’t need just another chiropractic office.
It needed THIS chiropractic office.
So on August 2, 2021, Body Harmony opened in one little treatment room near the Clarendon Metro. No storefront. No big sign. No grand opening.
Just me, a treatment room, and a belief that if I built the kind of place I wanted healthcare to feel like, people would find it.
Five years later, that one room has become a multidisciplinary practice with chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy, an incredible team, and a community of patients who have shaped Body Harmony every bit as much as we have.
It definitely wasn’t the plan.
Turns out, it was better. 💙
Thank you, Arlington, for five amazing years.
