For the past two decades, Dr. Carmel Wiseman has been committed to providing quality chiropractic care to pregnant women and families. After facing her own fertility challenges, she became determined to help others discover the root cause of their health challenges, especially relating to conception and birth. She then engaged in an intense study of root cause medicine and obtained certification in Functional Medicine and developed programs to help other women. Her passion for empowering others to conceive healthy children led her to create a nonprofit organization called Ahead Start for Health. Dr. Carmel lives with her husband, Mark, in Fairfax, Virginia and their two beloved dogs, Romeo and Libby. She enjoys teaching water aerobics, is an avid gardener, and loves growing her own food. One of her favorite community projects has been co-founding a local Gardening, Local Food, and Wellness Festival called 'Grow Your Health' in 2013.
