Meet the Team

Leah is originally from Kirksville, Missouri where she grew up involved in a variety of activities including student council, choirs and musicals, tennis, basketball, and track & field. She continued on to Missouri S&T in Rolla where she competed in the pole vault on the track & field team. She graduated from Missouri S&T with a Chemical Engineering degree and went to work for Phillips 66 in Wood River, IL as a Process Engineer. Leah met Dr. Taylor when she was working for Phillips 66 and living in St. Louis. She had never been to a chiropractor and thought chiropractic care was only for people with back pain. After getting under principled chiropractic care with Dr. Taylor, she has seen incredible improvements, not only in how she feels but also in how her body functions as a whole. She went from having terrible neck pain and reduced range of motion, to having no pain in her neck. She has also seen vast reductions in various health issues in her body and how often she was sick. Once Leah and Dr. Taylor were married, and she had seen her amazing improvements under principled chiropractic care, she decided to step away from her engineering career in order to open an office with him in Columbia, Missouri where she is the Office Manager. Her new passion for helping others find health and healing through principled chiropractic care has given her the faith to pursue this mission! She and Dr. Taylor are excited to serve the Columbia area and to call this city their home!

Katelyn was born and raised in the small southwest Missouri town of Schell City. Growing up Katelyn participated in FFA, volleyball, and many other extracurriculars in school. She now continues many of those hobbies and has discovered some new ones over the years. These include her passion for coffee, motorcycles, and plants, and continuing her love of sports and the great outdoors. She is always up for a fun-filled adventure. Columbia has been home for over 4 years now for Katelyn and she has been here a Restoration for almost as long. Being a practice member for a year and now a team member for 3+ years. She found her passion for chiropractic care while living in Davenport, IA. After being diagnosed with stage IV endometriosis and having 2 surgeries to remove her cysts, she was blessed to start chiropractic care and has not had to have any cyst removal surgeries since then.  In her spare time, Kate loves spending lots of time with my fur baby Franky, her Australian Shepherd, and her boyfriend Andy! Fun Fact: She can water ski on 1 ski! She also used to barrel race as a kid!

​Michelle started as a Practice  Member at Restoration and became a team member after being under care for two years! She had spent most of her working years in the medical field but after noticeable relief from chiropractic for her migraines, she knew she needed to take a different approach to health and healing! Michelle was born and raised in Colorado, moved to Tennessee at 15 years old, and resided here in Missouri only three years ago.  If you ask, Michelle will tell you that she loved what she did and helped THOUSANDS of people...but she felt God had led her here to make connections and heal alongside Practice Members here at Restoration Chiropractic and keep people well instead of fixing sick adults in emergency care. When Michelle isn't talking, joking, and smiling with Practice Members, you can find her hanging with her precious little pup, CocoBella, and her sweet family that means the world to her! She enjoys dancing, working out, biking, and being outside, and has the biggest heart and sweet tooth! With the slight Tennessee accent sticking around, Michelle "is fixin' to" educate you on how chiropractic care can help improve your life!   Fun Facts: She had a full-ride soccer scholarship to Tennessee Wesleyan College, cheered in college, and played multiple sports growing up! She was also in 3 parades for baton twirling as a child!
