A Nudge in the Right Direction
Dr. Starling likes to say the universe pushed her into chiropractic. While working as a server during college, she slipped and injured her hip. After experiencing non-stop pain daily, she finally went to the chiropractic school and began receiving adjustments.
As she continued on the path to healing, Dr. Starling learned more about chiropractic and what it encompassed, which led her to embark on the path of natural healing.
In addition to the hip injury, Dr. Starling had many other issues—constant fatigue, daily runny nose, cold or flu every few weeks in the winter, brain fog, belly bloat and a GI system that did whatever it wanted. This led her to seek out the most amazing teachers in the functional medicine field before it even had a name!
She learned about the systems of the body and how healing really happened. It wasn’t about drugs, it was actually restoring the functions of the body. She has incorporated this knowledge into her practice and still continues her studies.

Dr. Starling started her educational journey at the Cleveland University-Kansas City, receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology, before earning her Doctor Chiropractic at Cleveland Chiropractic College in 1995.
