Founder

I’m Dr. Abby! Living a holistic, healthy lifestyle has been a growing and continual passion of mine. When people ask me why I became a chiropractor I tell them “chiropractic chose me.” I absolutely love what I do and am so grateful to be able to show others what I have experienced through wellness and chiropractic. Our office is all about showing up for our practice members with congruency and authenticity; we truly want you to feel at home and be able to have chiropractic as a part of your life.

Along with being a chiropractor, I am a mom to two wild, intelligent, kind young girls and enjoy lifting, biohacking and natural lifestyles hacks!

I graduated with a bachelors in Biology valedictorian from East Carolina University. After undergrad, I studied at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa graduating Cum Laude. Post-doctorate I have done my pregnancy and pediatric courses and certifications through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association). After graduation I was lucky enough to serve the Palo Alto, CA area for three years before coming home to Battle Creek with a vision for Grassroots.

HI! I’m Dr. Jen. I am so happy and grateful to be a part of the Grassroots team and to be back home in Michigan. I was born in Kalamazoo and raised in Marshall (MHS Class of 2009). After high school, I attended Western Michigan University and got my bachelor’s degree majoring in biomedical sciences and minoring in chemistry and holistic health. I stayed at WMU to get my Master of Science focusing on reproductive endocrinology where I did medical research. Following my master’s program, I made the big move to Florida to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida in Daytona Beach. During my doctorate program, I became a DONA trained birth doula and became heavily involved in the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, where I continued my deep dive into everything pregnancy, birth, babies, and chiropractic. Following graduation, I moved to Southwest Florida and opened a private practice. After 5 years of practice in Naples, I felt a calling to come back to Michigan and God sent me to Dr. Abby and the Grassroots team.

During my free time I love to read, knit, and play golf. I have three fur babies (Putter, Minnie, and Toothless) and am loving living out my childhood dream of living in an apartment in historical downtown Marshall! If you see me out and about, please feel free to say HEY GIRL HEY!!

I’m Dr. Kyleigh! I’m so excited to be a member of the Grassroots family. Growing up I wanted to serve people and help them. My grandma had always said, “do good, so that others can do better,” which had stuck with me. That’s when I decided on becoming a doctor. Deciding on the type of doctor took me a while to figure out. I just knew that I wanted to be a doctor that would love, empower, and care for the people I see.

Throughout my life I was going to a chiropractor. I learned how important and effective chiropractic care was when I was running competitively in middle and high school. Each time I went for a tune-up, I gained more knowledge about the profession and how intrigued I was with a holistic approach. With every adjustment I felt myself feeling more empowered to perform and do better in races and meets. Once I realized how good getting adjusted made me feel athletically and personally on how holistic the approach as I knew that I needed to be a chiropractor. I knew it was my calling to serve people in that way. As I researched about the profession, I realized there were so many different approaches to the profession, that’s when I truly became passionate for learning more about care of pediatric and perinatal populations.

I graduated with two associate degrees from Jackson College in Jackson, MI. Once I got those, I transferred out to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. At Palmer, I was able to do a dual enrollment program which allowed me to get my Bachelor’s of Science degree and Doctorate of Chiropractic at the same time. I also did additional training in pregnancy and pediatric adjusting, so I’m Webster certified. While in school, I connected with Dr. Abby to shadow Grassroots and see what it was all about. I knew after my first experience visiting that I wanted to be a part of a community-family just like theirs. Only I didn’t know that a brief year and a half later I would be joining the Grassroots family.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, spending time with my fur babies, running, and being with family. I love learning new things, which has brought me to be in the process of receiving my board certification as a lactation consultant. I truly am so excited to be a part of the Grassroots family and to serve all of you!

Hello! I am Dr. Madalyn! I am thrilled to be here at Grassroots with each and every one of you! My journey to Chiropractic started in high school after an incident where I squatted down and couldn’t stand back up again. It was the first time I had ever seen a chiropractor or really found out what it was. The more I kept going and the better I was feeling after adjustments, the more I knew that this was what I wanted to do.

I began my educational journey at Kellogg Community College before transferring to Olivet College, where I completed a Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Science. From there I enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa.

In my free time I enjoy reading, a ton! I also enjoy playing with my dogs, and testing out new baking recipes when I can. I am so excited to be here and to be a member of the Grassroots community!
