Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Drobbin.
Danielle, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I grew up in Long Island, NY, as the oldest of 4 kids. My dad was a chiropractor and has been for over 30 years. Our family was very healthy and took a preventative and proactive stance on our health. My mom kept the house super organic from our toothpaste to the food we ate. When I was 11 years old, my mom birthed my last sibling, Laura, at home with the assistance of a midwife. It was so amazing to watch the innate capacity of the body and to see how much faith we need to have in the birth process itself. It was at that moment that I knew I needed to be involved with health and wellness as it relates to women and children. I later graduated from the University of Buffalo with a B.A. in Psychology and attended Life University. I graduated with my D.C. During graduate school I met my wife, Dawn, and decided to stay in Georgia. I opened up a practice straight out of school and now have a successful family practice that focuses on pregnancy and pediatrics. We have 2 beautiful daughters, Laina (4) and Presley (1), and hope to expand our family even more.
At the end of the day, I feel so blessed to say that I have never really worked a day in my life. I get to wake up every morning and do what I love. I get to support people in their individual health journey.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I am a little crazy and I hustled in the beginning. I didn’t have any money and Dawn supported us for the first couple of months. So it was scary but I worked hard and it paid off. We never really had business classes in chiropractic school so learning the business side of things was a struggle and certain times. Of course, there have been bumps in the road but I never let them set me back. I constantly worked through them and became even stronger! They call it “practice” because we are continually practicing.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Midtown Family Wellness – what should we know?
We are a chiropractic and wellness practice. We specialize in families but have extra certifications in pregnancy and pediatrics. We have the BEST massage therapist on our team, that can provide a plethora of different massage techniques. We are the Atlanta go to practice if you are pregnant or have a child in need of chiropractic care. I am most proud of our practice for the warm, welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere we have cultivated. We truly embrace new practice members as part of our family. We aren’t just chiropractors, we are friends that support people in need.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My parents for sure would be first and foremost. They have supported me without any hesitation and have been my biggest cheerleaders throughout my life. Next would be my wife. Without her support as well as her support she provides for our family, I would not be where I am today.
Finally, my team…I may deliver the adjustments, but they are an integral part of why our practice thrives and runs so fluidly. I am so grateful to say I have had an abundance of love and support on this amazing journey.
