Hello! My name is Shadarrian Cotton and I'm the Patient Service Specialist here at Sea Lark Chiropractic. Although this is my first position working at a clinic, I have over four years working in customer service. I enjoy being the first greeting a patient hears when entering our clinic. Helping our patients and seeing them become less burdened with pain has been rewarding. I have always shown an interest in working in the health field, and this position has given me a purpose. I look forward to expanding my knowledge and seeing our clinic grow.

Hello! My name is Veronica Mendoza and I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) since 2007. I've had the extraordinary pleasure of working with people of all ages ranging from infancy to 96yrs!!  Massage Therapy is very beneficial at every age! It enhances immunity and sleep quality, increases joint flexibility and circulation, reduces muscle spasms, cramping, and fatigue, decreases anxiety, and helps manage stress! These are just a few of the many ways massage helps promote well-being to our mind and body.
