Interview Q&A

34 years
What is your primary product or service?
Gentle Holistic chiropractic services specializing in Network Spinal Analysis and Clinical Nutrition.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was teaching Medical Technology but believed there was a tremendous gap between traditional health care with drugs or surgery and natural alternative wellness care. I also had been very ill and traditional health care had helped me very little. Since learning about a holistic approach to wellness some 40 years ago, I have been on a mission to get healthy myself and help others to do the same by bridging this gap.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I have a unique background in both traditional and alternative health care. For 24 years, I worked either in research, taught in hospital or University in the field of Medical Technology. I then went on to study various natural approaches to wellness and for the last 34 years have found chiropractic to be a comprehensive pathway for a holistic approach to wellness.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I was in Staten Island for 16 years but have been in Forest Hills to be closer to home and family since 1999.
