Our New Business!

You know how we like to keep busy around here with all sorts of little projects . . . sewing something here, a little crochet project there, maybe painting something every now and then. Well, we really stepped up our game this time. We decided to pull the ultimate DIY project: starting our own business.

You might know that my husband is a chiropractor (see our chiropractic FAQ post HERE). His long-awaited dream (and now mine, too!) has always been to open his own clinic. After a few years of working as an associate in other doctors’ practices, the time felt right to get moving on that dream and start his own chiropractic practice. So we started making plans, took a few baby steps forward, then a few giant steps forward, and we’re ready to go!

We want to invite you to the grand opening of our baby, Foundation Chiropractic, this Saturday (December 7th). The event will take place from 10-4 at 608 North State Street in Orem, UT. We’ll have free massages, yummy food, giveaway prizes, and awesome deals and specials for new patients!

But before I tell you more about the office, the opening, and why we want you to come, how about a little before and after? Everybody loves that. The cute little building you see above wasn’t always as sweet and charming as it looks now. It used to be quite the sight . . .

Oh yeah, baby! A rockin’ pink tattoo parlor! Despite its gaudy appearance, we saw a lot of potential (don’t we always?). It was the perfect size, we loved the layout and location, and who could resist that eye-catcher of a pink awning, right? Let’s venture inside and I’ll show you what you used to be able to find behind that great pink sign.

Amazing! It’s purple, it’s green, it’s covered in dripping paint vines! I can hear you begging for more!

Fantastic! MORE you say?!

YES! The brightest pink walls you’ve ever seen!

This may have worked great for a tattoo shop, but we had a slightly different vision for a chiropractic office. Bear in mind that I was about a zillion weeks pregnant when we (“we”) started working on this, so poor Jeff had to do everything on his own (with the help of my awesome brother’s carpentry skills and my mom’s interior design advice!).

We started with a slightly less in-your-face color scheme including some beautiful browns and a soft, soothing blue accent wall. Then replaced the floors and put up a few new walls. Toss in some great furniture and you’ve got yourself one chic and inviting waiting room . . .

A fun and playful kids space . . .

And an open, organized reception area . . .

Quite the improvement, don’t you think? I love how it came out! And of course, this is where the magic happens. The adjusting bay and traction areas:

Although that shot above may look like the beginnings of a sweet tree fort, it is actually our traction area, where Jeff utilizes Chiropractic BioPhysics—the most published, scientifically validated technique in the chiropractic field—to improve and correct long-term spinal and postural issues. That means that when you visit us, you won’t be getting just pain relief (although you will get that, too!), you’ll be receiving a personalized treatment plan (uniquely formulated to meet your specific needs) that works to actually correct spinal problems at their source, fixing issues that may have been present for years and preventing a multitude of problems from cropping up in the future due to problems you might have today.

Oh, and the hot pink room you saw before? Not the most dramatic ‘after,’ but we subdued it to become an in-office x-ray suite, so you won’t have to travel elsewhere to get x-rays taken. Everything you need can be done right here.

What do you think of our office before and after? I have to say, I think we did a pretty nice job! We’re so excited about the office, and even more so to get started with our own business. We can’t wait to open our doors this weekend and start this new phase of our lives.

Now, a little more about that grand opening . . .

If you live in or near the Orem area, we hope you’ll swing by this Saturday and visit our new office! Find us right on State Street next to Allen’s Cameras (608 N. State). You can call us for more information at 801-226-2606.

We’ll be there from 10-4 meeting people, talking about chiropractic care and how it can help you, munching on tasty food, and giving free massages and prizes. And we’ll have some grand opening specials, too, so make sure to come by, say hello, and find out what we can do for you!
