Hi, I am Dr. Kayla, owner of Healthy Gait Chiropractic. I opened my Chiropractic office in the beautiful lakeside town of Pilot Point in February of 2023 and the journey has been so fun and rewarding thus far! Before I dive too deep into my business and all it offers, let me give you a little background on me and how Healthy Gait came about. I grew up in southeast Wisconsin on a horse farm. I started riding at 3 years old, thanks to my mother who is a horsewoman herself and was teaching riding lessons at our farm. My love for horses continued to blossom as I grew up and I never grew out of it! Horses are originally what brought me to the North Texas region, which I will touch on later. When I was young, someone mentioned to me that Chiropractic would be a great profession for me as I had a love for helping people feel better. I decided to take that 14 into consideration, and when I dove deeper and realized I could also become a 17
Chiropractor for animals too, I was sold! I attended University of Wisconsin-River Falls (UWRF) and graduated in 2018 with my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with an Equine Management Emphasis. Throughout college, I was immersed in many different disciplines in the horse industry including horse training, breeding, and nutrition. At times, I was tempted to pursue other passions but decided to stick to my plan of becoming a Chiropractor and I am so glad I did! In 2016, I got certified in equine massage therapy through Therasage EMC. I used this as my opportunity to see if this type of work was something I would enjoy, and it was! Healthy Gait came to life the summer of 2016 as my equine massage therapy business and started growing right away!
