About Liliana Warner, Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Liliana Warner, D.C., received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta. Her undergraduate degree in Psychology is from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Dr. Liliana received extensive training in Bio-Geometric Integration (BGI), working closely with Dr. Sue Brown, the creator of the BGI approach to wellness.

As a child Dr. Liliana suffered from severe allergies and asthma, often contracting viruses and bacterial infections from a compromised immune system. In 1991, her mother reluctantly visited a chiropractor for back and shoulder pain after medical doctors could not help her. She could not lift her right arm to write on the blackboard, and that was a problem for a high school teacher! She experienced relief after her first chiropractic visit, and at her chiropractor's suggestion, brought Liliana in for an initial examination.

Dr. Liliana immediately experienced results from her chiropractic care, and within a couple of months most of her symptoms disappeared. She no longer needed an inhaler, and didn't have to sleep upright to keep from coughing all night. Frequent illnesses from a compromised immune system became a thing of the past as chiropractic care enabled Dr. Liliana's body to function as it was intended, healing and strengthening her body from within.

While a high school student, Dr. Liliana worked in a chiropractor office, and after receiving her undergraduate degree worked as a chiropractic assistant in Richmond, Virginia. She saw all of the people who were helped in those practices, and felt her calling to serve others by becoming a chiropractor herself. She enrolled in Life University and began the rigorous course of study required to become a chiropractor.

"Dr. L.", as many of her participants affectionately know her, is proud to be a Doctor of Chiropractic, a health and wellness educator, a public speaker, and an active member of the Decatur community. She enjoys partnering with her participants at Lotus of Life Chiropractic to help them realize a lifetime of health and wellness.

Dr. Liliana's Statement of Purpose

I chose to focus on family, pediatric, and pregnancy care because I was introduced to chiropractic care as a child and was able to see firsthand how much of a difference it makes when started at an early age. Both of my parents suffered from chronic back pain as a result of injuries from earlier in their lives and my younger brother endured persistent ear infections as a child. Chiropractic has helped my parents to heal their back injuries and has taught them enough about health that they no longer worry about reinjuring themselves. My brother has not had an ear infection since he started going to a chiropractor. The big difference between the two situations is that my brother started being adjusted at age 8 when his body was still developing whereas my parents had their injuries develop as part of them, making them more difficult to heal.

As children, we have an amazing capacity to heal ourselves but we become so caught up in life that most people forget that that healing power is always available. My mission is to help adults to harness that internal power and to help children to never forget it!

When a parent comes into my office tired and cranky after a long day of work but leaves only with thoughts of playing with their children, my goal is met.

When a woman is able to have an intervention-free delivery after her baby develops correctly and is perfectly positioned with help from my chiropractic adjustments, my goal is met.

When a person is no longer dependant on medications and is empowered to live their life to the fullest, my goal is met.

As a chiropractor, when a child says "Thank you" or "I love you" after an adjustment because they feel so much better, I know my goal to help others is met.

I became a chiropractor because I experienced its power first-hand and I felt a calling to share that knowledge with others so we can all live in a happier, healthier world.

  About Our Chiropractic Interns

Brenna Werme is just six short months away from graduating from Life University and is joining James as an intern at Lotus of Life.

Born and raised in Western Massachusetts, Brenna received her bachelor’s degree in 2008 from Northeastern University in Boston. She also completed two internships with chiropractors in the Boston area during that time. At Life University, Brenna was introduced to BGI and immediately knew it was her fit as it encompasses her passion for embodiment. She will graduate in September 2012.

Embodyoga is one of Brenna’s beloved devotions.  She has been practicing since she was 15-years old. She has completed her 200-hour yoga teacher certification and is very close to completing her 500-hour certification, sharing her knowledge and love of the practice as an instructor at the Life University Wellness-Center.

Brenna has two brothers back home and a dog (Marcel) to keep her company while she studies. She loves the beach and being outdoors whenever possible.  She has an obvious love for the beauty of life and helping others realize the life they have within through chiropractic, education and awareness.
 

Carly Swift -

I am very excited to begin interning here at Lotus of Life officially this July until I graduate in December.  I appreciate you allowing me to observe Dr. Lilliana as she cares for you and to have this wonderful learning opportunity.

I am originally from Virginia Beach, VA so naturally I love salty breezes and sunshine. I grew up running on hot sand and swimming in the Chesapeake Bay. I completed a bachelor’s degree at James Madison University (JMU) in Health Sciences and began my journey to Life University shortly after graduation in 2008.

I have always felt healing to be a process that comes from within and when I stumbled upon Chiropractic I knew this was my calling. I have been working steadily since arriving at Life University to mold my lifestyle into a holistic model. I did not come from a chiropractic background; the idea of healing being a natural process made sense to me but everything that comes along with that was not as simple to grasp. The more I began to learn about our healing process and the way our bodies are built the more I understood how little we need outside ourselves. I’m pulled to care for all walks of life and especially pediatric and mommies to be. I see a great world of health if we all began our life fully connected to our healing nature without nerve interference from Day One. I see this eliminating so many unnecessary health costs and ailments that we now consider normal. So, I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow at Lotus of Life on my journey to realize this goal.

I spend most of my free time with my boyfriend Roy and friends. We love to be out in the sunshine sitting at the pool or hiking along the river. We also enjoy going to Braves games, seeing live music and cooking yummy dinners.

Here is a FUN FACT: Dr. Lilliana & I both are from Virginia, went to James Madison, and LOVE cats!

Nathan Potter is also graduating from Life University this December and is enthralled about fulfilling his life mission as a chiropractor .

If you ask him where he’s from, it will be a long and complicated answer considering he has lived in more than 26 houses covering cities in Germany, England and 5 U.S. States.  He has a passion for travel and has served people through chiropractic in India, Dominican Republic, Dubai as well as Haiti and looks forward to expanding this list!

He began playing guitar and writing music before he turned 10-years old.  Learning several instruments and having a great passion for art, in all its forms, enriches his life daily.  Though initially a Film major while attending Oklahoma State University, he pursued the sciences once he felt called to facilitate the natural healing process in all beings.

After a long search for the right profession, he chose chiropractic for the powerful changes he felt in many aspects of his life after being adjusted regularly.  It complimented perfectly his zeal for natural living and being a spiritual seeker.  After discovering the Bio-Geometric Integration (BGI) approach to chiropractic, he has been actively helping with BGI Club at Life U and learning much from Dr. Liliana over the last two and a half years!  Nathan feels privileged, grateful and honored to learn and serve at Lotus of Life Chiropractic, in all the ways he can.
