Dr. Liz grew up in the farm country of Louisiana. As a little girl, she knew her life purpose was to be a healer. Having spent her formative years steeped in natural living, Dr. Liz came to understand on a deep level the inherent intelligence of the body and its natural ability to cope, adapt, heal and thrive provided there was no interference in the process.

Dr. Liz’s understanding along with her strong desire to help others reconnect with their inherent natural state of health led her to study chiropractic.  She graduated from the world renowned Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa – the 1895 birthplace of the chiropractic healing profession. Dr. Liz has been a chiropractor since 1979.

Today, Chiropractic is the nation’s second largest health care profession.  She founded Chiropractic First in Evanston to promote wellness for both your chronic and acute health imbalances. She is especially interested in family health and well-being with an emphasis on pregnant women and their newborns. Assisting pregnant moms to have an easier and more joyful peri/post natal experience, results in their babies having a healthier start to life.

Dr. Margaret Smith is passionate about helping people heal their bodymind.  She specializes in helping with anxiety, depression and insomnia.  Prior to joining Chiropractic First, she was at a practice that focused on helping children with ADHD diagnoses.  She brings this expertise in children’s mental-emotional challenges to Chiropractic First, a practice renowned for its work with pregnant moms and babies.

Dr. Margaret (“Meggie”) holds degrees from the University of Chicago and Life Chiropractic College West in Northern California. She has been published in numerous chiropractic publications and has received international awards for her research and writing. She has lectured locally and internationally on alternative health.

She grew up on the North Shore and was inspired to become a chiropractor after the powerful experiences she had using chiropractic to address both physical and emotional challenges in her own life.  Because of these experiences, she is passionate about helping people understand, connect into and heal their bodymind.

The Chicago area and Evanston chiropractic and wellness center has evolved into a learning resource and mecca for healthy living. Dr. Liz and Dr. Meggie offer classes on nutrition, supplementation, relaxation and lifestyle counseling to help you reconnect to your natural state of health. We also have a lending library on a myriad of health topics, and your questions are always welcome!

Dr. Liz and Dr. Meggie have been blessed to draw to their center people who share their strong commitment to health and healing.
