John Minardi

John Minardi has been involved in martial arts since the age of 12, and competed at the highest level. John became involved with chiropractic following a major injury that occurred during a martial arts match. At a very young age, John was informed, by several members of the medical community that he would never compete again. In addition, John was told that he should consider himself fortunate if he ever walked normally again. Unable to accept this grim future, John sought the help of a Chiropractor. Within six months of treatment, John was walking, running and training in martial arts again. Within a year, John was competing at a world class level. Experiencing first-hand how Chiropractic changed his life, John was determined to become a Chiropractor and help others.

Dr. Cathy Wendland-Colby

Dr. Cathy Wendland-Colby is well known for her work with pregnant women and young families. She lectures around the world on the importance of improving our lifestyles because “Healthy Moms Equal Healthy Babies”. Her lectures take people out of their comfort zone by dissecting the medical model forced on our society and replacing it with the natural approach -the chiropractic approach – to health, pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.

Because I recognize that babies aren’t pin cushion, kids aren’t Guinea pigs and no one should be treated as a human lab rat. I believe that every person has the right to experience life to its fullest potential without drugs, without interference, and without limitations.

Teaching the world how to live a healthier lifestyle has been my life’s work since 1988. What started as a simple after school job teaching aerobics while still in high school, quickly blossomed into a fast-paced career in the health and fitness industry. Almost overnight I began training instructors, educating executives and teaching corporate wellness to some of the largest businesses throughout the US Northeast. By 1995, I knew I needed to expand my reach so I moved to Georgia to attend Life. After graduating in 1999, public speaking seemed the most natural way to educate the masses and build my practices in Florida, New York, and Georgia. I’ve been honored to speak on some of the largest stages in and out of the profession and realize the importance of excellent communication skills. Through live events, YouTube videos and my online work at Educated Pregnancy and Women’s Voices Matte, we’ve educated over 4 million families and thousands of health care providers around the world.
