From a young age, Dr. Canaan had been obsessed with healthy living. As a Georgia native brought up in the world of chiropractic and fitness training, her lifestyle naturally revolved around health and wellness. In high school, she became a certified kettlebell instructor (RKC) and began personal training in college. She was always fascinated by the mental and emotional side of health, so she pursued a Bachelors in Psychology, but quickly found herself frustrated that the brain was viewed separately from the rest of the body. Dr. Canaan was the “rebel child” of her undergraduate class: always questioning why medications were prescribed instead of lifestyle, mindset, and diet modifications; She also found herself giving presentations on gut health and nutrient deficiencies in relation to mental states rather than the traditional medical or talk therapy presentations her peers were doing.

It wasn’t until she graduated college that she began suffering health issues. At 24 years old, Dr. Canaan developed perioral dermatitis and was later diagnosed by a naturopathic doctor with Lupus. She knew that she needed deeper testing, but found herself frustrated that even her naturopath wasn’t giving her the comprehensive testing or the results that she knew were possible. This frustration with trying “the natural route” and not finding answers is when Dr. Canaan stumbled upon a Hormone Connection Seminar by Dr. Patrick Flynn, the founder of The Wellness Way. This is where her paradigm shift began.

It was there that she realized her body is reacting from a place of intelligent design and relit Dr. Canaan’s passion for helping people achieve optimal health. Dr. Canaan then attended chiropractic school and graduated with her Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2024. Today, she implements all of her knowledge in psychology, nutrition, herbal medicine, functional fitness, and chiropractic to provide her patients with the best care possible. “The body doesn’t make a mistake” has become her favorite saying that encompasses the beautiful dance the body does to maintain balance. Her ultimate goal is to help people from all walks of life find answers to the “unanswerable” health questions and conditions.

When she’s not in the office helping patients, Dr. Canaan enjoys exercising, long walks, soaking up the sun at the beach (or anything at the beach for that matter), comedy, farmer’s markets, and spending quality time with her friends and family.
