Meet Dr. Jo Anne
Choosing Chiropractic
Dr. Jo Anne grew up in Bellingham and knew she wanted to help people in her community in some way. When it was time to choose a career path, she shadowed many different types of healthcare providers to see if anything resonated with her. Her chiropractor invited Dr. Jo Anne to shadow her, and Dr. Jo Anne agreed—even though she hadn’t considered chiropractic as a career.
Over the two weeks that she shadowed the chiropractor, Dr. Jo Anne saw how her care helped improve the connection between a new mom and her baby by removing the interference that had been keeping the baby from nursing. Seeing that this safe, gentle care offered profound, life-changing benefits was eye-opening, and Dr. Jo Anne was inspired to become a chiropractor and focus on pregnancy and pediatric care herself.
