“Something within me had changed. It was the recognition that anything is possible if you have the vision, guts, and determination to play full out.”
– Dr. Caroline von Fluegge-Chen.
Growing up, I was fortunate to be surrounded by holistic health practices that shaped my perspective from a young age. My mom was a trailblazer in wellness long before green smoothies and yoga became trendy. She was crunchy before it was cool!
Whenever my sisters and I fell ill, we could always be “treated” with homemade herbal concoctions, mystery tea, or hearty soup. In our household, prescription medications were always seen as a last resort. Mom’s commitment to natural remedies instilled in me a deep appreciation for mind-body wellness that continues to guide me today.
My journey through education led me to Tufts University in Boston, where I pursued a BA in history. Following that, I embarked on internships at Sotheby’s New York and eventually found myself in a career in advertising.
However, persistent migraines that didn’t respond to medical treatments prompted me to explore chiropractic care. The relief I experienced through chiropractic adjustments was truly eye-opening. I was more aligned with solving a problem (headaches) than patching it up (with medications) so I could get on with living the life of an energetic 23-year-old in NYC.
It took riding my bicycle from Seattle to Manhattan to get a fresh perspective, and I was encouraged by the remarkable care I received from Dr. Smatt, the chiropractor who helped me. I decided to transition from advertising to the field of health and wellness. Pursuing a doctorate in chiropractic felt like a more meaningful path where I could uplift others rather than climb the corporate ladder.
As I continuously strive for excellence and innovation, I greatly emphasize expanding my expertise through formal education and self-directed learning. This commitment enables me to integrate new services and state-of-the-art technologies into our practice to benefit chiropractic, functional medicine, and BrainCore neurofeedback patients.
