Meet The Team
Dr. Jessica Tallman, DC
Hello! My name is Dr. Jessica, and I am a chiropractor and the owner of Mind and Body Family Wellness. After almost six years of being an associate DC at a fabulous clinic, I decided to branch out and create my own brand of chiropractic care – one that focuses heavily on the emotional component of nervous system health, along with the physical and chemical components.
Working together, you and I will explore the physical, chemical and emotional patterns you have developed over time that affect your personal expression of health. At each appointment, we will process and release old patterns that no longer serve you and create new patterns that allow you to thrive in a life you love living. I incorporate chiropractic adjusting, emotional balancing, and nutritional guidance tailored to each person’s individual needs to help you shed the old and embrace the new.
My favorite part of the job? Developing relationships with each person and witnessing the powerful changes that occur as you learn to listen to your body’s messages.
Check out our services page to see if my brand of chiropractic care can help you!
What do I do when I’m not at the office? I am blessed to be the mommy of three beautiful girls and wife to my handsome hubby since 2007. I enjoy singing the National Anthem at Royals games, performing my own Facebook Live concerts (ha!), planning themed birthday parties, reading a good book, exercising, and soaking up the great outdoors.
I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you better!

Alix Thompson, LMT
Hello! My name is Alix Thompson. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and Healing Touch Practitioner. Through body-work I am able to help others to feel comfortable in their body, hold space for their emotional and spiritual well-being, and create a nurturing space to relax. I am also proficient in facial massage, cupping, hot or cold stones, and am able to offer my clients a massage with Healing Touch energy work integrated, too!
Healing Touch is a relaxing, non-invasive, energy modality to assist you in overall relaxation, stress management, and encourage the body to heal itself by aligning you with optimal wellness. Healing Touch is a beautiful, powerful, and gentle modality and has meant a great deal in my own personal growth and life journey. I’m very excited to share it with you and to hear about your experience of Healing Touch- as everyone’s experience is somewhat different!
I have greatly enjoyed providing massage and energy work to pregnant women and assisting them with pain management during their labor as well as working with the elderly in long term care settings.
I have spent the past 30+ years working in long term care supporting the elderly and their families. Elders and those who care for them hold a very special place in my heart. I specialize in Dementia care and love to train others regarding best practices and ideas to support their loved one or client.
In my free time I especially enjoy hanging out with my grands and family members. I have 3 kids of my own, 4 step-kids, and 7 grands. My husband and I love to travel, spend time outdoors, and complete DIY projects on our house. I love hosting events, getting creative painting rocks, and sticks, going for walks with our dogs, movies, reading, and singing. I’m overjoyed to work with Mind and Body and very excited to meet you.
