All month long, we are introducing you to the humans behind TrueNorth Chiropractic.
First up, Karissa - Clinic and Brand Coordinator. ๐
Karissa met Dr. Katie at the gym, became a patient back when we were still NorthStone Family Chiropractic, and when Dr. Katie asked her to come on board, the rest was history.
That was nine years ago. NINE. ๐
She started at the front desk and grew into the one behind everything you see from TrueNorth online. The social media, the website, the brand. That is all Karissa.
Outside of TN, she is a wife of 13 years, a mama to the most important 7yo in the world, and a proud pet parent to a 14yo cat who has seen some things and a 1yo goldendoodle who assumes everyone wants to play tug of war. ๐๐พ
