My passion is educating and empowering people to reach the highest levels of health and performance possible. Growing up as an athlete I truly value the importance of performing and functioning at the highest level. I was inspired to become a chiropractor when I watched it change and save my dad’s life. The Maxliving approach to health seemed to be the most congruent and logical to me: find and correct the cause of the problem instead of continuing to treat the symptom.

Through my experience in helping people maximize their health I firmly believe the body needs no help to heal and function, it simply needs no interference. My overall goal is to help minimize the usage of medications, prevent sickness and diseases of every person, allowing them to live the life they want for as long as possible.

It is my wife and I’s mission to create happy, healthy families for a lifetime. We were called to Chandler and are excited to help every patient create the life of their dreams.

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have everyday to serve and encourage people to reach their true potential, both in life and in health. My goal is to provide hope that people are not defined by their diagnosis but that their bodies can and will heal. My father at a very young age suddenly passing away from cancer; Growing up with a single parent, I understand the importance of health and how it can dramatically affect others. That is why I am on a mission to help every mother, father, sister, brother or friend get their health back so they can not only fulfill the life they were called to, but also inspire those around them to make healthy life choices. MaxLiving is striving to change the way healthcare is viewed and managed in this country, and I absolutely believe this is possible through education and each of us taking responsibility for our own health.

My Husband and I love our town, we are grateful for the mission we are a part of, and look forward to every person and family we get to meet and help achieve their highest potential.

My first exposure to chiropractic was in high school after my mom developed an autoimmune disorder. Seeing doctor after doctor brought no answers to the problems she was experiencing, until we tried chiropractic. Everything about it made sense–getting to the root cause instead of treating the symptoms! Every body has the potential to live in full expression of vitality when interference is removed from the nervous system. It is truly that simple. That is why my biggest passion is moving the healthcare approach from a place of unanswered questions to certainty in taking control of your health and your body’s ability to heal.

I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA where I met my husband Eric. He brought me from Michigan to beautiful Arizona. We have been married for almost one year! You can find us hiking, trying a local coffee shop, hitting a workout, or hanging out with our dogs Journey and Rainier.

My Name is Rebekah Honesty Torres born and raised in the Phoenix Arizona. I Love the Valley of the Sun. I spend my free time gardening, baking, reading a good book or playing with my 5 dogs.

I’ve been in the medical field for over 10 years. I have certificates for Ophthalmic Technician and experience working as a surgical coordinator in private Ophthalmologic practices. After years of working around the medical field I noticed that when you visit a conventional doctor you will get a solution to take care of the symptom, but not the root of the problem. This is when I started looking for a holistic approach to wellness. That’s how I came across EFC. I started as a patient and I loved the philosophy of the 5 essentials. That encouraged me to have a change in my mindset. After several conversations with Dr. Mike, I decided to join this wonderful team. My desire is to let people know that you don’t need to make big overwhelming changes to improve your health. You can start with small manageable things, that you will be more likely to follow and enjoy. You soon will find out that even small changes to your health plan can make a big difference in how you feel.

My name is Caitlyn Ray! I have lived in sunny Arizona for almost six years now and absolutely love it! I graduated in 2023 from Grand Canyon University with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science. I have always had a passion for health, fitness, and nutrition. I have been in the fitness industry for over five years and have worked as a strength coach and personal trainer for over two years. I discovered the value of chiropractic and holistic health in college when I started developing various health issues. I began with conventional doctors but later realized that nothing was being solved because they wouldn’t address the root causes of the symptoms I was experiencing. After becoming a patient at Max Living and meeting with naturopathic specialists, my health issues began to disappear within months! It was incredible to see my body heal itself when I let it do what God designed it to do. My passion is to empower people to care for their bodies in a way that improves their lives and glorifies God. I firmly believe that “the power that made the body can heal the body,” and I desire to inspire more people to be walking testimonies of that power.

Some fun facts about me: I am an avid sweet potato lover. My favorite activities include weightlifting and being outdoors. I also love traveling to new places!
