She offered chiropractic services and co-managed mutual clients with other practitioners in fields that included naturopathy, herbalism, reflexology, quantum biofeedback, ionic foot detox, neuromuscular therapy and counseling services; all within a retail storefront that specialized in public education about natural healing and high quality herb and supplement sales.

Additionally, she has had experience instructing fellow chiropractic students as a tutor at Life University, and worked as a lab assistant, instructing anatomy and physiology labs while working on her undergraduate degree at old dominion university.

Laurie Keck

Laurie Keck-McGee was born and raised in Southern California where she and her family with three siblings shared a love of cooking, movies, and travel; her travel have taken her across the globe to Scotland, England, Whales, France, Japan and Australia. In her twenties, Laurie went to West Los Angeles Community College to explore many types of classes to explore career options. She found herself enjoying the rigors of the business world thanks to the influence of her father whom is an accountant. But, she was also drawn to medicine from a biology teacher at Venice High School that she enjoyed so much that it encouraged her to take college biology as a prerequisite for her business degree and she was hooked! The instructor was so electrifying and exciting that she never missed a day of class. The experience was so positive that she took every science course as extra credit including anatomy, microbiology, chemistry, and science math.
