And now I’m about to graduate chiropractic school at the top of my class 🥹
I hope my story is encouraging to those of you who are confused at the promptings you’re experiencing.
I want to give you a little more background.
When I was a senior in college, I KNEW I would go back to school for a graduate degree. I also knew that I wanted to work in women’s health. But with my bachelors being in athletic training, I wasn’t sure how that was going to work out.
I had initially planned to become a physical therapist, but working in PT turned me off of that profession. Women’s health PT didn’t feel right at all.
Over the years, I explored every avenue of complementary healthcare I could think of: nutrition, naturopathic medicine physical therapy, occupational therapy, acupuncture, health coaching, homeopathy, and more.
I never thought about chiropractic until 2020. Which is surprising considering I went to chiropractors myself and worked with chiropractors. It wasn’t until we were in KY that the idea dropped into my head one day.
Hello Holy Spirit 🕊️
There were so many details I left out of this story for the sake of time. Still so many not in this caption!
But it’s amazing to look back and see how all the waiting, refining, and skills I was growing were meant to serve me in this position.
Coming January 2026 I’ll officially be Dr. Mairead Suthoff 🎉
The last 3.5 years especially have been HARD - like hard work hard - but many tears have been shed as well.
It feels like the real work is just beginning though.
I cannot wait to serve my community with root cause, holistic healthcare. Chiropractic in person & functional health online & in person.
So much to come, but for now, share a story in the comments of the signs God has smacked you upside the head with!! Let’s encourage each other to keep going even when we can’t see where the road is taking us.
