In this episode of Cultivate CNY, we couldn't be more excited to welcome Dr. Sam to the pod! As a chiropractor and passionate advocate for whole family wellness, Dr. Sam has built more than just a thriving practice—she's created a movement that transforms how families approach health and healing throughout every stage of life. Her approach goes far beyond traditional adjustments; it's about empowering women during their journey through motherhood and providing holistic care that reconnects the body to its innate healing power.
Dr. Sam's journey is deeply rooted in her personal experience as a mother and her unwavering belief in the body's natural ability to heal. From her early days studying biomedical science at Colorado State University to graduating Summa Cum Laude with her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University in Atlanta, she's consistently championed evidence-based care that supports the whole family. This foundation has shaped her understanding that true wellness requires more than symptom management—it demands specialized techniques, ongoing education, and a genuine commitment to meeting families where they are in their health journey.
What sets Dr. Sam apart is her dedication to continuous learning and specialized certifications that enhance her ability to serve her community. She's certified in the Webster technique for pregnancy care and is currently working toward her CACCP certification in pediatric care, while maintaining expertise in SOT, Thompson technique, Activator, and Diversified Full Spine adjusting. Her mission extends beyond the adjustment table—she believes in educating and empowering families to make informed decisions about their health, reducing stress on the nervous system, and supporting bodies through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.
In this episode, we explore Dr. Sam's journey from Colorado mountains to Syracuse practice, how motherhood deepened her commitment to family wellness, and why her approach to chiropractic care represents something much bigger than traditional treatment—it's a holistic philosophy that's helping families discover their body's incredible capacity for healing and thriving together.
