Welcome Dr. Amy Hayhoe, D.C.

 

"I am honored to be stepping in as Dr. Tara enjoys her new baby!  I have a tremendous excitement about the next several weeks and am looking forward to providing great care to the wonderful patients of Inner Balance!"

Please welcome Dr. Amy Hayhoe to the Inner Balance Team.  She is doing an amazing job filling in while Dr. Tara is on maternity leave.  Dr. Amy grew up in Mason, Michigan and was introduced to the chiropractic philosophy at a young age.  During her middle school years, she went to chiropractic appointments with her mother and was always excited to go in for her adjustment and lean about how amazing the body is.  She attended Olivet Nazarene University for two years before finishing her bachelors in Exercse Physiology at Western Michigan University.

During her time at WMU, Dr. Amy worked as a chiropractic assistant and solidified her love for chiropractic.  She attended chiropractic school at Life University in Marietta, GA.  After graduating, Dr. Amy has spent the last two and a half years back here in Michigan as an associate and providing temporary care for multiple offices.  She plans on opening her own practice in Grand Rapids, MI in 2011.

Meet Dr. Tara Scharich, D.C.

"As a family chiropractor, I am blessed to work with people of all ages both sick and well. It is my goal to help, coach, and inspire everyone who walks through our doors."

Dr. Tara Scharich is a fifth generation chiropractor, born and raised with the chiropractic philosophy of life and health. As a college student, Dr. Tara moved to the United States from Manitoba, Canada to earn her Bachelor of Science degree at Michigan Tech, where she also met her future husband. She furthered her education at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA where she earned her Doctoral Degree.

 

During her time at Palmer College, Dr. Scharich took a specific interest in pediatric chiropractic. These studies inspired her to open a Chiropractic office that focuses on family care--supporting strong and healthy lifestyles for both adults and children. If you ever have an end-of-the-day appointment, it is likely you will bump into her husband (Dave), son (David), and daughter (Gabby), as they come in for their weekly wellness adjustments.

"Since working with Dr. Tara I've been able to see changes in so many people's health and attitude. It truly motivates me to no end to know that I am at least a small part in the process of making our community so much healthier."

Brittany Brookhouse lives in Coloma with her husband Brent and has worked at Inner Balance since February 2009. Prior to moving to Michigan, she lived in the Chicago area where she worked as a desk manager for a downtown hair salon for 8 years.

Suzanne

 

“After listening to Dr. Tara's 'Health Seminar', I really got it: Chiropractic care benefits everyone and helps us live life to the fullest! Everyday is a great day for Chiropractic!”

 

Suzanne is a chiropractic assistant and proud team member of Inner Balance Chiropractic and Wellness Center.  She came to this job in the fall of 2008 with a common misunderstanding of chiropractic’s purpose in our community and in our world. She believed, as many of you still may, that people who seek care from a chiropractor are always in great pain. Now she is sure to schedule her husband, herself and her two children for adjustments every week and marvels at the impact of chiropractic in each of their lives. She enjoys watching new patients experience this “lightbulb” moment and take proactive roles in their own health, and then observing the benefits and miracles that follow. She encourages everyone to bring in their families and experience this higher quality of life and looks forward to meeting you soon!
