At the age of six, I had my first allergic reaction. I went into anaphylactic shock after being exposed to an excess amount of dust in the air. After multiple similar episodes, I had to accept that this was just the start of, what I thought was going to be, a lifelong struggle with my health. I was taking 4 – 6 pills per day, constantly puffing through inhalers, and having weekly doctor’s visits, with 100s of allergy shots, for the next 15 years. Even with the time, money, and effort put towards my health, I knew I was still not in the best place.

Ever since I was a child, I knew I wanted to do something where I would be making a profound impact on other’s health and their overall quality of life. I received my first chiropractic adjustment when I was 20 years old. I began to immediately notice subtle differences, and after getting regular adjustments, the changes to my health were overwhelmingly impactful. That was when I knew that not only did I find the answer I was looking for personally, but this was what I was meant to do for the rest of my life.

I am now a PX & Webster-Certified Doctor of Chiropractic with training in pediatrics and pregnancy from the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association. I received my Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2018, graduating magna cum laude, with distinctions in philosophy and clinic excellence from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to Life University, I received my Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. I am grateful for the opportunity to practice in Northern Virginia as I am an alumnus of local schools: McLean High School (McLean, Virginia) and Westminster School (Annandale, Virginia).

Outside of serving the Vienna and Tyson’s Corner community with the best care, I enjoy outdoor activities, dancing Bhangra (an Indian Folk Dance), going to CrossFit, listening to podcasts and music, and spending time with my family and friends.

Emerging into adulthood showed me the importance of taking care of yourself for long-term benefits and health. I’ve always taken an interest in personal wellbeing but being an athlete for my entire adolescence comes with strenuous practices and sore recoveries. The journey of reconstructing my view on health and fitness is ever-changing and I’m excited to learn the importance of chiropractic care for one’s well being.

Seeing the impact Dr. Megha and Dr. Michaela have on people’s health inspires me to imagine the future of health widespread. The benefits and positive outcomes of neurological care are vast, and being a part of a family that provides such care is exciting. As I recently moved to the area from Southern Maryland, I look forward to meeting and getting to know those in my new community!

In my off time, you can find me listening to a good podcast, at the gym, or with my family and friends. If the season is right, you can find me on the sidelines of a good football game either spectating or coaching youth cheerleading.

I grew up just miles from One Family Chiropractic, down Gallows Road in Annandale, and returned to Northern Virginia in 2023. Before joining One Family, I worked as a chiropractic assistant, where I gained valuable experience in holistic wellness. Now I’m thrilled to broaden my understanding of health and support the transformative power of whole-family and brain-based chiropractic care.

My personal journey into better health and wellness began in 2012, but it truly deepened when I discovered acupuncture and herbal medicine 2019. This transformative experience reshaped my understanding of healing from the inside-out and inspired me to help others find balance and vitality. This is why I’m studying and aspire to be a licensed acupuncturist by 2026.

In my free time, I enjoy movies and live theater outings with my mom, walks in nature, practicing Qi Gong, and maintaining a home yoga and mindfulness practice. I also love tackling mini-crosswords and Wordle puzzles for a fun mental workout. My favorite YouTube channel for years has been “Recess Therapy!”
