Meet The Director
Dr. Todd
Teaching Doctor
Dr. Todd is part Clinic Director and part Chiropractic Evangelist. He is not a typical Clinic Director. He has a PhD, not a Doctor in Chiropractic, and was pursuing a career in Higher Education before his own health issues changed his mission. In 2017, he was diagnosed with advanced Congestive Heart Failure, and was told that 9 out of 10 people die within a year. He knew that if he did what those 9 out of 10 people did, he’d get what those 9 out of 10 people got.
He also knew his family deserved him at his healthiest. As the old saying goes, “When you have your health, you have a million wishes. When you don’t have your health, you only have one”. Dr. Todd was down to his last wish, and dedicated his life to being a story of inspiration, not a cautionary tale. Now he has dedicated his life to empowering those in his world to honor their God-given design for health (real health, the way your body was designed). It is on the back of this story that Restore Family Chiropractic was founded, and upon this mission that Restore Family Chiropractic expanded to a second location in July 2024.
As a Chiropractic Evangelist, he works with some of the best in the world to help spread his message. He is a graduate of Tony Robbins’ Mastery University and has been consulted personally by Tony Robbins and by other high-profile individuals in the chiropractic world to expand his vision for a world-class level of care, distributed on the local level.
His dedication to excellence extends beyond Restore Family Chiropractic. His accolades include playing Division 1 football at Liberty University, was Defensive Coordinator for Brunel University in London, England, winning the European Bench Press championship, and somehow convincing Dr. Marisa to marry him. He has won numerous awards both as a professor and as a clinic director, holds several certifications including as a certified health coach, Neuro-linguistic programming, Happiness Coach, and Scuba Divemaster, and worked as a stunt man in major movies such as Justice League, Ready Player One, and American Assassin.
Meet The Chiropractor
Dr. Marisa
Chiropractor
Dr. Marisa is an Ohio native and lifelong chiropractic patient. She was first adjusted as a baby, though it wasn’t until her time at The Ohio State University that she realized her true calling was to serve her community through chiropractic care. Since then, she has been dedicated to improving her skills as a chiropractor to get her patients the kinds of results they deserve.
She carries 15 years of experience in Texas, Ohio, and England, where she was Europe’s first Max Living chiropractor. She is married to our Clinic Director, Dr. Todd, and together they have two children: Alaina was born in 2016 and Levi was born in 2021.
A talented chiropractor, one of her greatest skills is being able to adjust her husband during his European Championship powerlifting days, while also providing the gentle touch that newborn babies require. She is especially passionate about pregnant women and families. She holds advanced certifications in Webster Technique, as well as Spinal Correction and nutrition.
As a member of Max Living and The Remarkable Practice, she is connected to some of the best chiropractors in the world. In short, if she can’t help you, she will find someone who can!
Meet The Team
Toshia
Chiropractic Assistant
Toshia is the OG of chiropractic assistants, as she has been on our team the longest, and is instrumental in helping our patients feel a sense of community and connectedness. She wears many hats in our wellness center, and she is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes making sure that insurance is verified and accounts are updated. She is working on some advanced certifications, and will soon be able to take Xrays and perform examinations. She is willing and able to do whatever it takes to advance the mission of informing, inspiring, and empowering people in our community to make healthier decisions.
A mom of 2 (as of June 2023), Toshia lives with her family in Delaware, and above all loves spending time with her children, going on nature walks, and spending time outdoors.
Danielle
New Patient Liaison
Danielle has worn a variety of hats at Restore Family Chiropractic, and her role as the Director of Flow is a natural fit for her. Her experience in the hospitality industry helps her bring to the table a fast-paced organizational ability with a friendly smile. Mostly, she helps patients feel comfortable settling into our recommendations and keeps patients accountable to their schedules and our office policies. She’s your accountability partner, as she helps you track your progress towards your goals and also helps keep you accountable on maintaining your recommendations for care.
Like many of our patients, her commute isn’t short, but she never misses a moment to put a smile on the faces of anyone who interacts with her. Her friends will tell you that her smile is contagious, and she smiles a lot because she has a lot to be happy about! She has long worked with chiropractic to partner in her own health, and has seen significant improvement in relieving pain and restoring functionality and balance to her life. Now she gets to spread that message via the mission of our office!
