Meet Dr. Jessy Sherley
From Growing Up Around Chiropractic to Living Its Impact
Dr. Jessy grew up surrounded by health, movement, and chiropractic care. As the daughter of a Chiropractor and a Registered Dietitian, wellness was never just something discussed at home, it was a way of life. From an early age, she experienced firsthand how proper nutrition, movement, and nervous system health could help people feel and function at their best.
Having been adjusted since birth, Dr. Jessy did not fully realize how unique her upbringing was until she began seeing the impact chiropractic care had on others outside her family. Watching patients regain confidence, improve their quality of life, and take a proactive role in their health inspired her to pursue a career in Chiropractic.
Discovering Her Passion for Chiropractic
As a competitive dancer for most of her life, Dr. Jessy experienced firsthand the physical demands that come with high-level training and performance. Long hours of practice, repetitive movement, injuries, and the pressure to consistently perform at an elite level taught her the importance of properly caring for the body.
With regular chiropractic care throughout her dance career, she noticed a major difference not only in how her body felt, but in how it performed. While many of her competitors struggled with recurring injuries, tightness, fatigue, and recovery, Dr. Jessy found that consistent adjustments helped her move more efficiently, recover faster, and perform with greater balance, strength, and body awareness.
Over time, she recognized chiropractic care as one of the key factors that helped her harness her full potential as both an athlete and performer. Experiencing those benefits firsthand inspired her passion for helping others improve the way they move, feel, and perform in everyday life.
That experience ultimately led her to pursue a career in Chiropractic, combining her love for movement, wellness, and helping others reach their highest potential.
Education & Training
Dr. Jessy pursued her chiropractic education in New Zealand, where she graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic (NZCC). Her experience abroad helped shape both her clinical perspective and approach to health care.
Rather than treating the body as isolated components, NZCC emphasizes a holistic approach focused on the nervous system’s essential role in brain-body communication, healing, adaptation, and overall function.
During her training, Dr. Jessy studied anatomy, neurology, biomechanics, diagnostics, rehabilitation, chiropractic adjusting techniques, along with clinical practice and patient care. Her education strengthened her passion for family wellness and deepened her commitment to helping people better understand their bodies and take an active role in their health.
Beyond the Clinic
Dr. Jessy’s passion for health extends far beyond the clinic. In her free time, she enjoys growing her online fitness business, Powergirlfitness, which she has been building since she was 10 years old. Through her platform, she loves creating workouts, sharing healthy recipes, and inspiring others to optimize their health in every way possible.
Dr. Jessy places a strong value on family, which has always been a defining part of who she is. After living abroad for 6 years and building a life for herself in New Zealand, she chose to return home with her Kiwi partner to be closer to her big Italian family. She also has an adorable puppy named Dolce, who is truly the cutest bundle of joy and brings her so much happiness. Being back near her loved ones has been deeply meaningful and continues to remind her of the importance of connection, community, and shared experiences.
