Coven Chiropractic

My Story

The standard seems to be to write your own biography in the third person, but as I am not a celebrity and this is not an obituary, I'm going to refrain. My name is Coco Rowlette, and I am a chiropractor.

Yes, I wanted to be a chiropractor when I was a kid, but I had no idea why. My family didn't go to a chiropractor, I didn't know any personally, and there was absolutely no representation in the media. Despite this fact, I did not make my way to a chiropractor until I was getting my bachelor's degree at The University of Michigan in Women's Studies and Poetry. In the middle of the winter, I came down with a nasty 3-month case of pneumonia that I had to factor in while at school and working. I was devastated physically, emotionally, and monetarily by the medical model before seeking the help of a chiropractor after excessive coughing subluxated numerous ribs, causing sharp and constant chest pain. After the first visit, not only was my pain gone, but I found something I needed more. Hope.

My path back to health sparked my journey to become a chiropractor, as I wanted to foster hope in people who had been diagnosed and sent on a path dictated merely by their diagnosis. My eyes were opened to the fact that covering up symptoms of the human body does not heal the body; we must find the cause of dysfunction. With this knowledge, I could not go back. I could only surge forward and attempt to light the way behind me. I made my way to Georgia for chiropractic school at Life University in Marietta, GA, and began a new life with my husband in Atlanta.

After graduating in June 2018, I could not bear the thought of opening a practice anything like what I'd seen before. Especially with the hate and tragedies flooding the news cycle, I felt we all needed as many positive spaces filled with light, levity, and love as possible. As soon as I met Natalie Phoenix (owner of Phoenix Wellness Center) and felt the space, I saw the beauty and healing that would take place there. I couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of the Phoenix Wellness Center, a sanctuary dedicated to whole body individualized care and inclusivity, especially for women and the LGBTQ community.
