Rebecca Koch
"Goals from the Inside Out"

Boiling Springs, SC

Rebecca Koch (pronounced “Coke”) is in her 19th year as director of the Office of Service Initiatives at Life University and also serves as assistant to LIFE president, Dr. Brian McAulay. She is the author of Vital Signs: Trusting in “Life Itsownself”, a (hopefully humorous) collection of articles that provide her unique perspective on vitalism and its application in everyday living.

Rebecca has been a chiropractic patient and ally for more than four decades. She is married to Dr. David Koch, who served as the chiropractic philosophy professor at Sherman, Palmer, and retiring from Life U. It was Life University’s application of chiropractic philosophy – and vitalism – across all its programs that piqued her interest in working at Life.

However, it was Life’s foundational value of Lasting Purpose that sealed the deal in her determination to work there. Her work as Director of Service Initiatives has led her to learn and share practices that support Lasting Purpose, our foundational value set at Life U, which asks us to give, do, love, and serve from an inner-directed sense of our own ability to learn and grow while also being focused on the needs of others. 

Rebecca holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in positive psychology. She is certified in the facilitation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality inventory and regularly uses and works with resources such as Non-Violent Communication, the Community Resilience Model, the VIA Strengths model, the ACT Matrix, and other systems designed to promote better communication, greater empathy, more productive conflict, and to promote professional and personal development that supports people in being the best version of themselves.

Certified in the Webster Technique through the ICPA, Dr. Tracey is devoted to empowering families to live in alignment, vitality, and holistic wellness.

Her journey with chiropractic care began at just 2 years old, when she experienced firsthand its transformative power. This early connection ignited a lifelong passion for holistic healing, especially for adjusting babies and children and supporting them from their very first moments of life.

During her time in Jamaica, she created two deeply impactful retreats: The Caribbean Cleanse, a powerful detox and healing journey, and a Self-Care Retreat for Chiropractors, offering restoration, service, and connection. These experiences helped hundreds of participants return to their bodies, reconnect with nature, and embrace the power of holistic healing.

Dr. Tracey is especially passionate about gut health, parasite cleansing, and intuitive, natural living. Whether she's working with expectant mothers, newborns, or entire families, she blends the science of chiropractic care with the wisdom of the body and the heart.

Now based in Lakewood Ranch, Florida with her husband and two sons, Dr. Tracey continues to nurture life — from belly to baby and beyond. When she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find her in the kitchen creating nourishing meals, practicing yoga, exploring outdoors, or soaking up the sun at the beach.
