Guest Quotes:
“The one thing that I really like about being a chiropractor is it's a mix of science and art.” – Karen Kelsall
“If you set your mind to something, no matter what you have or don't have, you can actually do it. You just have to do it and proceed, just keep working at it and incremental steps sometimes need to happen. I use my gymnastics every day and I have a very positive memory of it because it did a lot for me.” – Karen Kelsall
