Today we’d like to introduce you to Nichole Walz and Joshua Huddleston.
Nichole and Joshua, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
We have quite an interesting journey that led us to living in the Magic City. Josh is from New Jersey and I was born and raised in Michigan. We met in chiropractic school in Port Orange, Florida and moved to Southern Florida (Fort Lauderdale) to practice immediately following graduation. After practicing for a few years, we took a huge leap of faith, sold everything we owned and moved to Singapore for two years to practice. Josh didn’t even own a passport before we decided upon Singapore and we both had never actually set foot in the country. So, safe to say, it was a HUGE RISK!
Living in Singapore opened our eyes to so many different cultures, foods, religions and travel destinations. It really changed our mindset and outlook on life. Because Singapore has many public holidays, we were, fortunately, able to travel to a new country every few months, which taught us so much. After leaving Singapore, we decided to take a few years off to continue to explore the globe with our fluffy dog, Miesha, and a few suitcases. We originally came up with the concept of On-The-Go Wellness® during a month-long stay in Rome, Italy. Traveling full time was such an incredible adventure, but you can imagine that after backpacking to 40 countries in four years, we were ready to set up roots somewhere. We missed the simple conveniences of life like having our own closet, gym, and of course, Target (haha).
We decided to move back to the USA to fulfill our vision of On-The-Go Wellness®, a company designed to fit our active, mobile lifestyles. We chose the incredible city of Miami because of its perfect weather, beaches, diverse culture, and endless options of things to do (and it’s a great hub for future travel). Everyone in Miami is very active and cares for their health, so it’s a perfect fit for us and our company, On-The-Go Wellness®.
Has it been a smooth road?
Ask any entrepreneur and they’ll tell you that you can set out and have a plan for the way things will go, but they seldom go according to plan. At first, the twists and turns can seem daunting, but we’ve learned to embrace the ride and that if we continue to focus on our mission-helping patients live healthier lives – everything else always works out.
On-The-Go Wellness Chiropractic – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Josh and I are both chiropractic physicians and certified yoga instructors. We offer both in-office (Brickell) and in-home chiropractic care to fit the needs of our very busy patients.
We are proud that we take the time needed with each of our patients, getting to know them and their specific concerns and wellness goals. We’re not just a ‘crack and go’ assembly line chiropractic office, but instead spend about 20-30 minutes in a one-on-one setting with each patient, treating their concerned areas (which is also safer for the patient in regards to Covid-19). We also provide at-home stretches, posture and ergonomic recommendations, diet tips and much more to improve their overall health and lifestyle.
Patients in our office are not just a number. They are part of the family! I think this really sets us apart from other chiropractors as well as offering in-home care for the patient, because, as anyone who lives in Miami knows, convenience is everything!
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
The need and desire for chiropractic care is growing every year. People are looking for more alternative ways to help improve their health and pain besides medication, injections and surgery. It’s becoming more well known that our spine needs maintenance, just like our teeth do with the dentist, so people are seeking out preventative care before the pain even arises.
