💙A Note from Dr. Meredith 💙
I’m long overdue in sharing an update about my absence from DHW. As many of you know, I took a pause from chiropractic practice to follow my heart and open a yoga studio. My plan was to take just a few weeks away and then return to practice — but, as life often does, it had other plans for me.
What started as a short pause became a much deeper journey than I anticipated. I quickly realized I had taken on more than I could manage all at once. These past months have been filled with reflection, growth, and a lot of soul-searching as I’ve navigated my new business, family life, and the question of how chiropractic fits into it all.
Stepping back hasn’t been easy — in fact, it’s been one of the hardest decisions I’ve made. I’ve stayed quiet because I wanted to honor the time it took to really process it all. I miss my patients and this community deeply; you’ve all been such an important part of my life and purpose.
I take so much comfort knowing that Dr. Stav has continued to care for you with the same love, attention, and excellence that I would. She has been carrying a tremendous load managing both practices, and I’ve been searching for the right person to join our DHW family and support her — and all of you — during my time away.
I’m thrilled to share that we’ve found that person: Dr. Kerry McCann. Dr. Kerry brings not only incredible skill and experience but also a heart-centered approach that aligns perfectly with our values. She’s trained in all the same techniques we use at DHW and has a special interest in women’s health and pregnancy care.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Kerry to the DHW community. I’m beyond grateful for the continued care, trust, and love that flow through this space — and I feel completely confident that you are in the very best hands with Dr. Stav and Dr. Kerry.
With love and gratitude,
Dr. Meredith Hodges
