Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Meshia Miller.
Hi Dr. Miller, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
My name is Dr. Meshia Miller, and I am the co-founder/ co-owner of “A Chiropractic Hub” which is the first coworking space for Chiropractors. Dr. Dara-Lynn Geiger and myself first met in Chiropractic School (Life University) and became friends, and dreamers of the future. While in school, we brainstormed on ways to make an impact on the Chiropractic Profession.
After graduation, we huddled, collaborated, and brainstormed with other chiropractors, searching for solutions to improve our work-life, perfect office flow, reduce overhead expenses, and provide patients with the best care possible. Like many others, we decided to launch a mobile Chiropractic practice. There were some barriers that presented with mobile Chiropractic, yet we were still excited to be serving our community through Chiropractic.
Around 2018, we decided to collaborate with other businesses who were looking to lease space/rooms within their office. This was great! We loved it, and our patients loved it. More importantly, we learned that Atlanta is filled with inspiring entrepreneurs who are willing to help others jump-start their goals.
We are thankful to all those who participated in those early workspace collaborations. Several years after the launch of our practice, 2020 happened. And immediately, everyone started to look at their finances in a different way and what the future looks like. During 2020, we all experienced isolation and doubt about our professional futures and how we would sustain our businesses/jobs.
As a result of 2020, we decided that a COVID-proof plan needed to be initiated. Something that provided doctors with a sense of community, professional development, and growth potential. So, we decided to create “A Chiropractic Hub” which is a flexible workspace that operates a lot like a co-working space.
Coworking spaces are popular workspace models that even corporate organizations are participating in. For starters, its a great way to reintroduce displaced home-bound workers back into an inviting, productive workspace and save companies thousands of dollars spent on leasing traditional offices. The overhead reduction is unbeatable. We decided to take all features that inspire traditional workspaces like WeWork, Industrious, and Switchyards and apply it to Chiropractic.
Like many health practitioners, work can look like this: working for someone else, a large corporation, or working for self. I would argue that all practitioners are looking for autonomy in the personal and professional spaces. When Chiropractors are able to provide personalized (patient-centered) care plans, it’s a win for everyone. Patients ultimately live healthier lives, and self-employed Chiropractors can thrive as business owners.
As the first of its kind, this co-working space is specifically for Chiropractors. Each Hub member will have access to our reservations calendar, as we offer monthly, daily, and hourly table options. We invite all self-employed doctors to share/collaborate in this space, to grow their practice in this space, and serve their communities in this space.
We are pioneering tomorrow’s practice! #acoworkingspaceforChiropractors #achiropracticcoworkingspace
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, it hasn’t been smooth or obstacle-free. It took Dr. Dara and myself several years to raise personal funds to get our business off the ground. With the help of Invest Atlanta, we were able to secure an office space, complete renovations, and purchase furniture for our home.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about A Chiropractic Hub?
We are the first coworking space exclusively for Chiropractors. We’ve curated a workspace to help oversimplify Chiropractor’s worklists so they can spend more time scheduling patients, improving their technique, and charting notes while saving tremendously on office space and just being an AWESOME Chiropractor.
We are known for providing Chiropractors with affordable and flexible office space solutions. We provide the doctor with access to an all-inclusive workspace (Wi-Fi, Dr workspace, keyless entry system, patient waiting area, doctors lounge…) located on the Atlanta Beltline (West side) @ Lee & White District.
What sets us apart: our model works for Chiropractors who may be in different stages. The newly graduate, the doctor who may be employed by someone else and looking to build that practice with the remaining hours of the week. The mobile chiropractor who wants to streamline their visits or the Chiropractor who has one practice location on the other side of town but looking to expand to another location.
I’m most proud of the fact that we were the first to pioneer “one of the most genius ideas to ever exist in our profession.” We recently made our idea public as exhibitors (Sep 2023) at an annual Chiropractic Seminar (with over 1000 Chiropractors in attendance), and our concept was well received. Our peers stated that our idea was “genius” or that they wish that this had been around when they were starting out.
We are also most proud that, finally, our community members will have access to Chiropractic care. One model doesn’t fit all, and there are literally thousands of registered Chiropractors in the state of Georgia.
Imagine the impact Chiropractors could have on the community- if they only had access to helpful resources like A Chiropractic Hub. The Doctors can’t serve the community when the resources & opportunities are not in place for them to be successful.
A healthier community starts with a doctor who is ready for business. Working for others is great – don’t get me wrong, jobs are important. But one model/approach doesn’t fit all, and patients shouldn’t be forced to fit 1 or 2 health models.
I want Atlanta to know that there are Chiropractors who are local small business owners ready to serve and help you reach your wellness goals -at A Chiropractic Hub. We not only offer Chiropractic care, but we also collaborate with other amazing holistic professionals. Our offerings include meditation, yoga, and reflexology, to name a few. Lee+White is a thriving community with amazing entertainment outlets, breweries, and more- and now we are stapled brand providing the West side with wellness offerings as well.
