Dr. Michelle Wendling
"Reimagine Your Recipe for Success Workshop"
Dr. Michelle Wendling helps chiropractors fall back in love with their practice, master adjustments that create instant, powerful change, and build a life of true balance, financial freedom, and fun.
With over 30 years of experience in chiropractic, bodywork, and business ownership, Dr. Michelle brings a uniquely holistic perspective to everything she teaches. Before running her thriving cash-based practice, All Seasons Chiropractic Sustainable Health Center (2006–2021), she spent more than 15 years in physical therapy, massage therapy, and personal training—giving her an in-depth understanding of the body and what patients truly need to heal and thrive.
A dynamic speaker and passionate coach, Dr. Michelle has inspired chiropractors across the U.S. to become the BEST version of themselves—no matter their technique, philosophy, or practice model. Her practical, Monday-morning-ready tools help chiropractors simplify systems, refine adjusting skills, and communicate value with confidence—leading to higher retention, more referrals, and happier patients (and doctors!).
She served on Colorado Board of Chiropractic Examiners for 8 years and currently serving on the board of Women Chiropractors, Dr. Michelle has dedicated her career to elevating the chiropractic profession from every angle.
In 2021 she sold her thriving practice so she and her husband could travel the country in an RV for a few years. Now based in sunny Pensacola, Florida, she runs her coaching business full time through her Be the Best Chiropractor community—offering courses, workshops, and retreats designed to help chiropractors create practices that align with their passion and purpose.
When she’s not volunteering, teaching or coaching, you’ll find her traveling with her husband Tony, chasing new adventures, exploring new beaches, and reminding chiropractors everywhere that freedom, fulfillment, and fun aren’t just possible—they’re the whole point.
