Practice Member LoginShelburne Chiropractor Dr Heather Rice
My name is Dr. Heather Rice. I am many things to many people; however, the most meaningful titles I hold are that of Mother and Chiropractor.
Being a Doctor of Chiropractic is my passion. My practice members are not “patients” to me they are friends, neighbors, and family. I took over Network Chiropractic of Vermont in 1997 but I have over 25 years of experience in the Chiropractic profession.
My connection with Chiropractic started at a young age as both of my parents are Chiropractors. I have a memory of my father adjusting me when I was 13 years old. I remember because I had strep throat and each adjustment made me feel better. That is when the seed was planted; I too wanted to help people feel better.
Two of my brothers and I went to school to be Chiropractors. I graduated 4th in my class from Palmer College in 1983 and since then I have become one of the only doctors in Vermont to achieve the highest level of certification in Network Spinal Analysis (NSA). NSA is known for its gentle adjustments and profound changes in the quality of life. I also just became certified as a FLOW practitioner and can also teach the technique. I am on the board of governors for the World Chiropractic Alliance representing Vermont (and I am a faculty member of the American Consumer Education Foundation.)
I have traveled the world (especially China & South Korea) practicing Chiropractic but Vermont is my home. My practice focuses on family wellness care for infants, children, and adults and I am devoted to improving our community. I do this by educating the public in healthier ways to live. We often pack up and travel to offices and schools within the Burlington area to give free lectures or seminars.
In addition to being a Chiropractor, I am also trained in Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI) from the Twelve Stages of Healing work, and I am a certified Firewalking Instructor. I have been a staff trainer for the Firewalking Institute of Research and Education and I conduct Firewalking workshops routinely. My practice members enjoy participating in the different events we are able to offer. Dowsing is interwoven into the fabric of my life. I am proficient in French & Chinese, have practiced Qi Gong and love playing the violin with Alya.
To those of you who are already a part of our wellness community, this website is dedicated to you as a place to delve deeper and learn more. To those who haven't met us yet, I invite you to visit our office and get to know me and my wonderful staff. I would cherish the chance to meet you. Please allow me the opportunity to improve your quality of life.
Yours in health,
Dr. Heather, D.C.
