Our Story
Meet the founders of Wholistic Life.



A Shared Passion for Healing
In 2011, Drs. Lauren and Oleg met and quickly realized they shared the same passion and drive for chiropractic care and delivering the best healthcare to patients. They set out to create a place for optimum healing, and in June of 2013, they opened their doors to individuals looking to take charge of their health and well-being.
“We practice very differently than other chiropractors by educating you and getting to the root cause of your problem so the body can do what it’s designed to do, which is to innately heal,” they explain. Their approach addresses physical, chemical, and emotional components to help patients stay healthy and live a disease-free life.

Dr. Lauren Marcus-Gozenpud, DC
Recognized Top Chiropractor & Holistic Healer
Recognized as a top chiropractor, Dr. Marcus works alongside Dr. Oleg Gozenpud at their family-based chiropractic clinic. Welcoming all ages, the doctor-duo specialize in treating chronic pain, herniated disks, headaches, neck pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, digestive issues, and ADHD with chiropractic adjustments at their source—not just the symptoms themselves.
Dr. Lauren is passionate about utilizing the tools and techniques available to create the best possible environment to unleash the miraculous ability of the body to heal from above down, inside out. Her key tools include chiropractic adjustments and exercise, proper nutrition and detoxification, as well as the identification and release of emotional blockages.
She emphasizes a comprehensive approach: "We always start with the physical component, which is identified where there is pressure on nerves. Chemically, we do AK (applied kinesiology) or take a functional approach to what your body needs chemically with supplementation and proper eating habits. Lastly, is the emotional component where we use color therapy along with other therapies to clear out emotional blockages."

A Practice Built on Passion
Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. We aim to improve our patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure, enabling the body to heal itself naturally.
