Dr. Marlee Bio:
If you told me four years ago that I was going to end up living in Missouri, I would have said you're crazy! I was born and raised in Connecticut and did my undergraduate degree in West Virginia, majoring in Athletic Training. Earning my Doctorate in Chiropractic at Logan University brought me to Missouri and right away I knew this is where my God-given purpose was going to be fulfilled.

I've always had a passion for helping people improve their function, health and wellness. There was a time in my life where the pain I had, prevented me from playing the sport I loved. I thought medications was the only answer, until I found chiropractic care. I developed a new understanding of how capable our bodies are in healing itself, if we allow it. "The power that made the body heals the body," by B.J. Palmer is one of my all time favorite quotes, and my mission is to encourage others to realize that health is already within them, I simply play a role in helping them express it to their fullest potential.

It wasn't until my goddaughter was born that I became interested in working with the pediatric population. Her first few years of life were filled with hospital visits and different medications that seemed to give her parents more questions than answers. Understanding how stressful birth can be for both mom and baby, I realized working with babies and young children started while developing in mom's belly. I wanted to help expectant mom's with the entire process; from start to finish and after. This inspired me to become a certified Doula in 2021, so I could not only help expectant mom's through chiropractic care, but I could also play a significant role in the birthing process and be present on the big day.

As a Chiropractic Doula, I witness the entire process come full circle; I not only love helping moms prepare for the arrival of her baby, but I also have the privilege of helping the baby prepare for a life outside of the womb.
