My Story

Why I do this—and why it might matter to you.

Hi, I’m Dr. Michele French.

I became a chiropractor because I know what it’s like to live in pain—physical, emotional, and invisible pain that no one seems to have real answers for.

I joined the Army at 19. I deployed to Baghdad, worked rooftop security, and ran behind a 4-star General on long-ass runs while my body was falling apart. I came home with a traumatic brain injury, whiplash, chronic pain, and a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

When I got out, the VA offered me one solution:
meds.
Painkillers. Sleep aids. Mood stabilizers. Pill after pill.
But I’d already seen what those pills could do to someone you love. I said no.

So I lived with the pain—for years.

Eventually, I became an esthetician. While working hands-on with clients, people kept telling me I had a gift—and I knew I wanted to keep building on it. That led me to complete an advanced neuromuscular massage therapy program.

From there, I studied corrective exercise and earned multiple certifications through NASM.
The more I learned, the more I saw the gaps in the system. People were either being over-medicated or under-treated—and I knew I could help bridge that divide.

Then I started working for chiropractors. I got adjusted regularly, and that’s when things really started to shift.

My pain eased.
My headaches became a little more manageable.
My nervous system began to settle.
I felt present in my body again—for the first time in years.

That’s when I knew I had to share what I’d been given—hope, healing, and a way forward after years in the dark.

So I went back to school. I studied sports medicine and eventually earned my doctorate in chiropractic. I built my practice around the one thing I never got from the systems that were supposed to help me:

Real care. For the whole person.

Now?

I run a mobile chiropractic practice that comes to you—no traffic, no waiting rooms, no cold fluorescent lights.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, nervous system burnout, movement dysfunction, or you’re just tired of being brushed off—I’ve got you.

I live in Arizona with my daughter and my grandma.
My partner and his kids are in Oregon, which is why I’m building a mobile practice that can serve both places.

This isn’t just a job.
It’s literally what God has called me to do…
