Meet Your Healthcare Providers
the Morter Family
Dr. Russell and Dr. Lauren met while attending chiropractic school at Parker University in Dallas, TX. Having come from different backgrounds, they would regularly discuss various theories, ideas, and approaches within healthcare and specifically chiropractic which holds the vitalistic philosophy that the body is a vessel for Innate Intelligence which coordinates all functions of the body allowing it to be self-healing and self-regulating. Their mutual understanding and respect for these principles has inspired them in raising a family that honors this innate intelligence, supports body autonomy and natural childbirth, and follows daily life practices in alignment with nature. Dr. Russell and Dr. Lauren, have welcomed two healthy, thriving sons at home in water births.
