Our Therapists
|
After graduating from The Florida State University, Ashley Beck moved back home to Jacksonville in order to be close to her family and friends.Once home, she became interested in massage therapy after learning first hand what massage can do to lift a person’s spirits and heal their pain. Just a few years ago, Ashley needed two painful surgeries to correct a knee injury that she experienced while a gymnast. Massage therapy was the only thing that helped ease the pain and allowed her to get back on her feet. Ashley graduated from the Southeastern School of Neuromuscular and Massage Therapy in Jacksonville, Florida in 2006. Her goal is not just to improve a patient’s life, but also help them get back on their feet and to the regular activities they love. Ashley is happy to be part of this chiropractic team.

Doug Duggan-LMTI was born and raised in Fernandina Beach, Fl. During my first career I worked for The Jacksonville Paper mill for 15 years. After that I spent the 4 years working at our families BBQ restaurant in Fernandina. My wife Hope and I currently live in Fernandina Beach raising our 5 children. Hope and I are youth pastors for Refuge For Teens , a teen outreach ministry program at our church. My love for bodywork started at a young age. I have always wanted to be a massage therapist. It wasn’t until my wife Hope and I had our first child that I realized that massage was far more than just for relaxation, it was for relieving pain as well and correcting structural imbalances. She reminds me that the massage therapy I performed on her during pregnancy really helped. I completed my coursework at The Southeastern School of Neuromuscular Massage, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA with an emphasis on Anatomy and Neuromuscular Bodywork. To be able to place my hands on someone and relieve pain, reduce stress, restore ranges of motion and help aide in their physical wellbeing has been quite fulfilling. I look forward to each bodywork session and the challenge it holds. I feel that I am part of the team at Alan Nathans Jacksonville Family Chiropractic. I know the value of combining massage therapy and chiropractic. I look forward to serving you! LMT NCBTMB Certified MA 52869 |
