Dear friends,
“I know you”, that’s what people usually say when they meet me in town. Then they say “You’re Dr.Marie. I’ve seen your ad with that picture of you and your kids.” Well, perhaps I should tell you a little more about that photo and why I use it in my ads. Let’s start with me, the one in the middle.
Years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story.
I was just a little girl when I decided who my hero really was. It was my own dad. I looked up to him. He was a real inspiration to me. He taught me a lot about life and, most importantly, about my future; in fact, he shaped my destiny. And that’s not all…
You see, my dad was our family doctor, too. As far back as I can remember, my entire family saw him for all of their health problems and to “stay healthy and to keep feeling good.” My dad absolutely loved his job and he would tell me and the family about it every chance he got. As a young girl, that’s why I loved hanging out and working at his office…just to watch all of the incredible things that were going on.
Growing up in this environment, I saw other kids who were very sick, get well; I saw people who had to be physically helped into the office, walk out on their own. I heard stories from patients who had suffered with all kinds of problems. I realized that I am seeing miracles happen and that the patients all loved this doctor, because he had made such a positive impact on their lives. This amazing doctor, my dad, is a chiropractor.
My dad’s way of looking at health fascinated me so much that I decided to go to chiropractic school myself. And you know what, I’ve never looked back. It has been the best thing I have ever done. Every single day I feel blessed to take care of people, especially people who found help nowhere else. Many of these people have given up hope before chiropractic and holistic healing.
