Angela Eves, Chiropractic Healing Assistant
Angela started chiropractic care in January 2019 and joined the Whale Family Chiropractic team in February 2019. She has quickly become immersed in the world of chiropractic, attending seminars frequently and learning to incorporate new healthy lifestyle choices. Holistic health care was high on the priority list for Angela when she decided to join the Whale Family Team and the job was in perfect alignment with her own healing journey. It made sense to work in a place where she could both inspire others with her own story and be inspired by the practice members that come into the offices. Angela came to Whale Family Chiropractic in search of help on her wellness journey and she discovered the world of holistic healing and found a way that would truly help her rebuild her health. She has been motivated by the awareness that chiropractic care has brought to her life and would love to hear and share the adventure of herself and others.
