Dr. Meridee Senick, Chiropractor

Dr. Meridee Senick received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2003 from Palmer West in San Jose, CA. She has worked with multiple doctors, including the San Francisco 49ers team chiropractor. Dr. Senick relocated to the Seattle area 5 years ago and fell in love with the Mill Creek community. She opened her practice in the Mill Creek Town Center in September 2005. Dr. Senick is extremely passionate about chiropractic. As a child she suffered from severe, debilitating migraines and was put on every drug and diet imaginable, but nothing relieved her pain. Dr. Senick thought that she would have to live with migraine pain for the rest of her life, until she was finally introduced to chiropractic care. Dr. Senick is now on a mission to introduce families to natural and effective healthcare. She has created a Wellness Center that encompasses alternative medicine and therapies in a way that allows patients to fine all their wellness support in one building.

Jessica and Dr. Senick opened Synergy Chiropractic together on September 25th, 2005 and then Synergy Wellness in 2010 and will continue to grow the practice together. Jessica loves her work, the employees, and all the friendly patients that come in.

Wendi Laliberte, Front Desk Coordinator

I found Dr. Senick in December 2008 after being rear-ended. I have a wonderful family of 3 daughters, 11, 6, & 2, and a great husband. Dr. Senick and Jessica hired me as an intern in January 2010 to help me finish my Medical Billing certification and that job led to being full-time. As we continue to grow, I look forward to helping Jessica with the insurance billing.

April Martin, Emotion Code and Core Belief Practitioner

April specializes in clearing emotional, belief-based and energetic underpinnings of physical or emotional challenges, drawing on the client’s innate deep knowledge and wisdom.

Emotion Code work created by Dr. Bradley Nelson easily and efficiently releases trapped emotions, traumas, phobias and other energetic imbalances. Core Belief work releases belief structures interfering with health and wellbeing and replaces them with empowering beliefs.

A healer since 1995, her prior careers included nonprofit management at the National Trust for Historic Preservation and award-winning leadership roles with Episcopal AIDS ministry organizations. Successive deaths of family members fully engaged her with life-threatening illness, and launched her interest in body, mind and spirit approaches to healing.

Ellen Nelton Brown, Foot Zone Therapist

Ellen moved to Mill Creek in 1990 with her husband and two sons. She was drawn to the ancient healing art of Foot Zone Therapy when foot surgery was recommended to her.

She has been passionate about alternative health methods since a young child. After years spent in college studies and a diverse background in the fields of real estate, public relations, the restaurant business and home health care her passions and interests for psychology, fitness/exercise, nutrition, self healing and energy medicine led her to some amazing teachers in the world of energy. She was blessed to be taught, trained, certified and tutored in various natural health modalities from herbology, nutrition, theta healing, iridology, meditation/chakra and breath work, EFT, yoga, aromatherapy, reiki and various other types and techniques of energy healing work.

It became very apparent to Ellen that each healing modality has great possibility for healing and yet what they all have in common is that energy is blocked within us for some reason and needs to be released to bring balance back to the body. She brings to her Foot Zone Therapy Practice all the combinations of these different modalities, techniques and methods she has learned through her studies, experience and inspiration. She has found natural healing in her own life and seen tremendous results as she connects with clients, each clients journey being unique. “To help someone’s body go into a place of its natural healing pattern and to see and feel the changes towards healing is a deeply satisfying and fulfilling feeling”.
