Our Team

Dr. Monda Waked, DC

My name is Dr.Waked, and I help people embrace a healthy lifestyle and feel better naturally with our chiropractic services, positive motivation, and education.

I completed my undergraduate work at Kent State University. After graduating from Kent State I moved to Atlanta, GA to attend Life University where I completed my doctorate in 2004. I started practicing in Mentor, OH in 2005 as an associate until I purchased the office in 2007, where I am still practicing. Currently I live in Willoughby, OH with my husband of 11 years and my 8 year old daughter, Ava.

I truly love what I do! I stand by my patients and support them, through every step of their journey. Witnessing someone’s improvements, both small and large, is my greatest joy. 

I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve my community everyday!

Kelley Hendrix, Office Manager

I have worked at Chirolife for about 15 years.  I love all the aspects of my job, but I especially love how our patients become like extended families to us and how everyone’s journey to wellness evolves with us.   When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with friends and family.  I live in Willoughby with my husband Eric, Daughter Cece and our crazy pooch Stan.  

Brianna Tavares, LMT

Brianna Tavares is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Cupping Therapist, and Reiki practitioner. Her healing journey began after she was introduced to Reiki. After her first treatment, she was astounded by the intuitive form of healing and decided to pursue her own training through Branches of Wellness in 2014.

Brianna has continued her education and has received her Prenatal Massage Certification through the American Massage Therapy Association (April, 2019) and most recently her Cupping Certification through the International Cupping Therapy Association (July, 2019). She resides in Painesville with her 3 children and dog, Lincoln.

Karmen Pirc, Personal Trainer & Nutritionist

I have been a personal trainer for 5 years and a certified nutritionist for 3 years. I’m very passionate in helping others feel good and finding happiness. I enjoy showing others what their bodies are capable of doing with hard work. It is my ultimate goal to help you reach a happy, well balanced lifestyle that will help minimize future health issues. 

When I’m not working I love spending time with my family, friends and fur babies. 

Kristen Duwe, LMT

I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 10 years and hold certifications in Sports Massage, Cupping Therapy, Manual Lymph Drainage, and Bamboo Fusion. I am a massage and anatomy junkie and I dedicate a lot of time to continuing education and learning new techniques to help my clients. My interest and trust in the manual therapies started as a kid, watching and receiving adjustments from my Grandpa who was a chiropractor in Cleveland. During my off time, I like to watch football (go Bucks!) and spend time with my family, friends, and dog Gizmo.
