| I was born and raised in Salina, KS where I was a three sport athlete competing in volleyball, basketball, and softball. This love of athletics and an interest in the human body led me to the University of Kansas where I got a B.S in Exercise Physiology. It was at KU where I was first introduced to the concept of chiropractic and I loved the idea of being able to help people without the use of drugs or surgery.
My first day of class was pretty surreal. It was amazing to talk with the other students who had grown up with chiropractic and how different their health history was compared to mine. I saw an absence of the colic, chronic ear infections, sinus issues, allergies, headaches, ankle sprains, knee surgery and subsequent arthritic pain, sinus surgery, lack of energy, and general unhealthiness that had plagued me to that point. And I thought I was a healthy athlete! My passion stems from my own experience and my desire to help people live the healthiest, happiest life possible.
I received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2004 and in addition to helping patients at the student clinic, I was able to travel to Nicaragua and Fiji to deliver chiropractic care to people who had never previously received any health care.
Following graduation, I moved to the beautiful Seattle area where I spent three great years in the Pacific Northwest. I believe everything happens for a reason, because it was in Seattle where I was introduced to and later became certified in a technique called Chiropractic BioPhysics© (CBP). CBP© is the most researched and proven technique available in chiropractic and has allowed me the opportunity to help make incredible changes to my patients lives. During my time in Seattle I was able to be a member of the chiropractic crew for the Breast Cancer 3-Day © where walkers spend 3 days walking 60 miles to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness.
I decided to return to Kansas to be closer to my family and friends and have enjoyed meeting so many great new friends. Leahy Chiropractic is proud to have celebrated it's first year in Overland Park and I am excited to continue to be active in this great community. When I am not at the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and a variety of sports such as softball, martial arts (kempo), and triathlons. I look forward to helping you!
