Open adjusting room with tables. We live through our nervous systems. By removing nervous system interference, chiropractic adjustments address the cause of ill health — noninvasively, and without drugs.
There is a long list of conditions that chiropractic adjustments can help, including ADHD, autism, asthma, allergies, ear infections, headaches, and sciatica. Regular chiropractic adjustments can also help women have healthier pregnancies and easier childbirths.
Sensory Processing Disorder is a condition in which the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to data (information) that arrives from the senses. Adjustments can ease the root cause of this disorder.

Jenna Wicker
Birth Photographer
I grew up in metro Detroit and after spending my college and younger adult years in Lansing, my husband and I moved our family to west Michigan. I have been married to my husband, Mike, for four years and we have two awesome kiddos, Noa and Asa. They are my most common and cutest photography subjects.
When I am not taking photos, you can usually find me exploring the city with my family, doing a DIY project around the house or out thrifting. I am a sucker for a good beach read, could live off of coke slurpees and iced chai lattes and would hands down beat you in Mad Gab.
I can still remember the first picture I took where I was like, "huh, that looks pretty cool." I fought the longing to call myself a photographer for a long time, but every time I pick up my camera, I am reminded that this is what I am meant to do. Thank you for reading; I'd love to work with you!

Heather Bishop
Massage + Skin Care
Hello! I’m Heather Bishop and my goal is continuously educate myself on spa education and provide you with personally customized and innovative sessions. I started my Spa Industry journey at Sarasota School of Massage Therapy in 2008 where I studied under nationally known massage educators. In 2011, I completed my license in Esthetics from Florida College of Natural Health after a terrible experience with cystic acne and knowing that I could help others with my personal experiences. While living in FL, I soaked up every experience in the resort spa industry and combine all of this knowledge to bring top notch services to you in Spring Lake, Michigan.
A few of my favorite services include Pregnancy Massage, Abdominal Therapies, and Acne Bootcamp Treatments.
Outside of the Treatment room you can find me spending time with my sons enjoying nature, working on a housebuilding project with my husband, and completing my degree in Early Childhood Education + Psychology.
