Cortney Sumpter
licensed acupuncturist/certified chiropractic assistant/exercise therapist
Cortney has certification and training in Acupuncture, massage therapy, personal
training, and chiropractic assistant. Her unique background and qualifications makes
her a unique fit at Hope Family Wellness & Chiropractic: A Creating Wellness Center.

building a full-time referral practice in our center. At the same time, Cortney
excels as the Exercise Therapist, working side-by-side with the doctor to make sure
the patient's needs and health goals are expressed and met through core spinal stabilization
exercises and stretching. Cortney was born and raised in California on her father’s
farm, where she was ingrained a solid work ethic. She and her husband Ron moved
to Arizona a few months before she joined our team. "I have been receiving chiropractic
care since I was 13 years old and knowing the difference that it has made in my
life, I make it a priority to have my children adjusted on a regular basis. How
wonderful it is to help others to have that same level of wellness. The way Tabatha
tends to the needs of her family is a reflection of the way she takes care of others
at the office. She also is the "fix it all handy-girl" of the office. When something
at the office needs maintenance, the first word uttered is "Cortney!". One of her
priorities is to help people in her community through natural healing.
Kelsie Harris
certified chiropractic assistant
Kelsis is always at the front desk greeting patients with a friendly smile. She
also oversees the flow of the office to make sure patients are receiving the utmost
attention in the most efficient manner. She is a bona fide native Arizonan. Kelsie's
sense of customer service, as well as a deep interest in wellness, have made her
a perfect fit at Hope Family Wellness & Chiropractic. Although Kelsie has always
been interested in wellness and was a competitive fast pitch softball player, it
did not become a priority to her until she started working at Hope Family Wellness.
"Years as a competitive fast pitch softball pitcher had made me realize the impact
your lifestyle has on the body, even starting at a young age. If I knew then what
I know now, I would have dragged my parents to take me to the chiropractor. It is
such an important aspect of everyone’s lifestyle, especially for children.” Kelsie
feels that when people treat the body with respect, they experience a more fulfilling
and enjoyable life. By eating natural, wholesome foods, by getting the proper amount
of sleep and exercise, and ensuring your body is free from nerve interference, you
can live up to your potential. Kelsie uses her youthful energy and great sense of
humor to help our patients share her foundation for wellness.
