Kristina
has been with Chittenden County Chiropractic since the practice opened
in April 2006. A native of southern New Hampshire, Kristina had some
experience traveling before deciding to settle in Vermont. In 2002
she set out and hiked part of the Appalachian Trail. After spending
days walking and contemplating what life had to offer, Kristina realized
that sitting at a desk all day long was not her style; helping people
was. She started looking into Massage Therapy. The Wild West beckoned
and on to Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College in Arizona. Then, school
was completed and deliberations made. Being a New Englander at heart,
Kristina decided life in the Northeast was her future and Vermont
was for her. She has been practicing massage therapy for about two
years and is consistently looking for new knowledge and finding better
ways to help people feel healthy. She also enjoys hiking, weightlifting,
cooking and reading. Renee Taylor :: Office Manager / Billing Specialist
Renee has been with Chittenden County Chiropractic since the offices’ opening day April 16, 2006. Originally from Burlington, VT, Renee moved into Essex Junction with her husband and two children, and their Beagle, Tali.
In 2005 Renee earned her Medical Billing Specialist Certificate through the Stratford Career Institute. In her spare time, Renee enjoys reading, painting, writing, and exercising. She participated in the 2008 Key Bank Burlington City Marathon in a 2-person relay team. Each team member ran 13.1 miles.
Renee has been an invaluable resource to the success of Chittenden County Chiropractic, both with her knowledge as well as with her sense of humor and warm personality. Please don’t hesitate to contact her should you have any questions regarding our office.
Madelyn A. Baer, B.A. :: Chiropractic Assistant/ Massage Therapist
Madelyn
moved to Vermont as a young girl and has been in love with the state
ever since. She attended the University of Vermont and excelled in
her study o f psychology, especially biopsychology and nervous system
function. Since she was a teenager, she has worked extensively on
her family’s farm training and rehabilitating horses. This work has
taught her the importance of touch in the neuro-emotional, as well
as musculoskeletal, function of all animals (people too!). She believes
strongly in holistic treatment and is an advocate of chiropractic
care in the medical world.
When not at Chittenden County Chiropractic, Madelyn’s energies are devoted to a multitude of activities. She works at local theatres as a stage technician, bringing art to life. At home she tends a vegetable garden, attempts to find harmonies on her bass guitar, and dabbles in various arts & crafts projects (this year it’s knitting). And every day her feline encourages her to sit down awhile for and invest in some purring.
Madelyn is pleased to offer deep tissue and relaxation massage integrated with her specialized training to increase cellular awareness and neuro-muscular re-education. Please contact her directly to schedule massage appointments. Phone: (802)881-4968 Email: Madelyn.Baer@gmail.com
