FINALSHOW

Dr. Miranda always knew that she wanted to impact the world and be a part of a greater design for herself and others. Intrigued with the mind and behaviors of others she decided to major in psychology and graduated from USF with her bachelors in psychology. Although she enjoyed learning about psychology she was looking for something much deeper and life changing as a career. In the midst of her searching, her father had a car accident which lead him to see a Chiropractor. As she discussed her plans with her parents, her father started to talk about Chiropractic and how she should research that field. Up to that point Dr. Miranda did not know much about it. Although she had a naturalistic approach to health, such as allowing the body to heal without drugs she never considered Chiropractic. After doing her research, she realized the profession resonated with her philosophy of life and would allow her to touch and heal so many lives, which was her ultimate goal. So, she decided to attend graduate school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Daytona, Florida. It was through her own health struggles that brought her into a more specialized field within Chiropractic, called Upper Cervical Care. In which, her life was changed drastically for the better and so she now practices and uses her testimony to be a blessing to others so that they may experience true health expression as she did.
