Today we’d like to introduce you to Karisa Walsh.
Hi Karisa, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
As a young girl, I always knew that I wanted to be in a profession where I got to help other people and I always wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps and own a business. After some soul searching and reflecting, I knew chiropractic was the perfect profession for me. As a child, I suffered with migraines and the only relief I got was from chiropractic care. In chiropractic school, I found my true passion of working with babies, kids, and pregnant women! I opened my practice shortly after graduating chiropractic school. I love what I get to do every day, helping people in my community feel good in their bodies so they can show up as the best versions of themself in all areas of their lives! I also love getting to own a business and be involved in the business community in my area.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The pandemic was an obstacle and challenge. This was year 3 after opening my practice. Taking things day by day, even hour by hour at the very beginning, to make sure that I was doing what was best for my patients, my community and myself. All of the unknown was very hard for everyone but especially young business owners like myself. I am thankful that I was able to keep my office open during the entire pandemic. I was able to help people’s nervous system adapt to all of the additional stress that was building up. I was the only person outside of their immediate families that most people saw for many many months. I am very thankful that I was able to continue serving my patients and community during such a difficult and stressful time! I had many patients tell me that they don’t think they would have been able to handle the pandemic if it weren’t for their continued chiropractic care.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am a family wellness chiropractor. We offer care plans to our patients to help them reach their health and wellness goals.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
My golden retriever Charlie gets to come to the office with me a few times a week! He loves getting to play with the kids and loves getting all the attention from our patients!
