Dr. Harper grew up in a small town in northwest Iowa and was introduced to chiropractic in high school after a sports injury. She received excellent care for the injury but more than that, was educated about the benefits of chiropractic for total body healthcare. After growing up as the kid who always “caught” whatever was going around and lost many days being home sick, this was quite the radical idea. Being taught that the nervous system controls the body and that the better the nervous system works, the better the body works actually made a lot of sense. It really hit home when after being under chiropractic care, she noticed that she didn’t seem to get sick very often any more. The spark was ignited, and she chose to become a chiropractor.

Her undergraduate, pre-med study was done at the University of Iowa and then doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Upon graduation in 1993, Dr. Harper began practice in the Indianapolis area and has continued to work with families on the north side ever since.

Dr. Harper has been married to her husband Dan for over 20 years and has 3 children, Hannah, Katie, and Matthew who have all been under chiropractic care since birth. Dr. Harper loves to share that even though all of her children attended daycare, none of them have ever had an ear infection or been on antibiotics which is pretty amazing in today’s climate. Natural healthcare can really make a huge difference!

Dr. Harper is active in her church, volunteers with the youth at the schools, and has been an active volunteer with community groups for over 20 years. A special project to her is a water well project for clean water in Africa.
