Mikayla has been a chiropractic assistant for about 5 years. She is currently pursuing a degree in Radiology Technology, further expanding her knowledge in the healthcare field. Mikayla is passionate about helping others and takes a natural, holistic approach to care. She values building strong relationships with patients and takes pride in getting to know them on a deeper level to provide more personalized support.
Outside of work, Mikayla loves to stay active. She has played sports her whole life which sparked her passion for working out. She also enjoys taking her dogs on long walks in nature, and enjoying time with her boyfriend, they are currently expecting their first child a baby girl in September.

I am a former phlebotomist at Silver Cross Hospital, where my passion for caring for patients truly began. After experiencing a work-related injury, I was faced with an unexpected career change that ultimately led me to purse new opportunities and personal growth.
I am currently enrolled in online coursework studying business management and human resources, working, toward building a career that allows me to support others in a different but equally meaningful way.
Outside of work and school, I enjoy bowling, boating and being involved in church activities. My faith plays a central role in my life and influences the way I approach both personal and professional challenges.
Recovering from my injury taught me that the body is a temple and should be treated with care and respect. Since then, I’ve been committed to maintaining a balanced diet, staying active and striving to improve myself physically, mentally and spiritually.
I am happily married to my husband, whom I met at my sister’s destination wedding at a couples only resort while there for her wedding in Jamaica. We share a love for traveling and enjoy exploring God’s beautiful creation together whenever we can.

Makayla joined the LC Dream Team in July of 2020! She graduated with her Associate in Science from Joliet Junior College in May of 2022, and she is currently a junior at Lewis University with a dual degree in Biology and Chiropractic!
Makayla hopes to become a chiropractor herself someday to show others just how important it is to live a chiropractic lifestyle 24/7!! She became passionate for chiropractic after realizing that her neck was completely backwards when she first began working at LC causing her a lot of health issues at only 21 years old. With lots of determination, she was able to fix her neck here at LC, and she was inspired to help others of all ages realize that there is hope for them to fix their own spines too.
