Dr. Audrey is a wellness chiropractor who utilizes B.E.S.T. (Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique) as her primary form of treatment. This allows Dr. Audrey to help her practice members help themselves by removing nerve system interference that causes pain, discomfort, and illness.

It is also one that allows the practice member to take an active role in their own health. Dr. Audrey believes that the Power that made the body, heals the body. She does not credit herself with being able to cure or treat specific diseases, she simply removes the “interference” from the body so that the body can heal itself the way it was designed to do.
Dr. Audrey hosts several free classes in her office teaching valuable tools to help people gain knowledge and apply it to their everyday lives. Her passion is to educate people to make their own healthy decisions and reap the rewards of those good decisions so that they can live their life to its highest potential.
