Dr. Lea Piche started her chiropractic journey as a supportive spouse whose husband, Joe, was in chiropractic college. They were newly married and she started her career in the commercial design industry. She had no idea at that time that she would embark on a major career change and find herself called to be a chiropractor. Dr. Lea graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA in 2001. Dr. Joe graduated two years prior and started their practice in his hometown of Traverse City, MI. She was filled with dreams of having a prenatal, pediatric and family practice working together with her husband. As we know, life can have twists and turns in ways unexpected. They were blessed with four children in the six years after she graduated. Full time family practice was put on pause while she focused on their growing family. She practiced part-time while their children were little. Dr. Lea has been in full time practice for the last 10 years. After 20 plus years in practice, she feels like she's just beginning to hit her stride with many more years of active practice ahead of her. Dr. Lea is always on a quest to be better, know more and serve her practice members at a higher level. She obtained certifications in Pediatrics through the ICPA and Whole Food Nutrition through the IFNH. Most recently, she obtained a niche through the FOCUS Academy as a Brain Blossom provider. The training is specific to the multifaceted needs of children and adults with neurotypical development and neuro-deflective behaviors. She and her husband continue to enjoy growing their practice in Traverse City, MI. Their children Fischer, Finnegan, Gilman and Annette are currently ages 15-20. They enjoy laughing together, having great conversations with their kids about their futures, working on vintage cars, wakeboarding, fishing, and just about anything outdoors.
