The Heart of Houk Spotlight celebrates the amazing care providers who help patients take the next step forward—every single day. Gracie Clark | Northpoite Clinic, July 2025 A Welcoming Face at Northpointe “We get to be a light in the lives of those who are hurting. A smile makes a difference—and Christ is the reason for my joy.” — Gracie Clark When you walk through the doors at Northpointe, navigating pain or uncertainty, chances are that Gracie Clark was one of the first people to greet you with warmth, positivity, and a listening ear. As a Chiropractic Assistant , Gracie plays a key role in patient care—assisting with MLS laser treatments, supporting patients through X-rays, and helping the clinic run smoothly. What makes her truly stand out is how she lifts up everyone around her. Reliability, Resilience, and Joy Her teammates say it best: “Nothing stops you and nothing gets you down. You’re always up for a challenge—and you do it with a smile. You’re reliable, adaptable, and ready to persevere. You see where you can help most, and ease the stress for your team.” Gracie’s ability to connect with patients comes from experience. Years ago, she was in their shoes. At 13, she was in a head-on collision with a drunk driver—a life-changing moment that brought her to chiropractic care and massage. That care helped her heal, and today, she brings that same compassion and encouragement to others. Celebrating Patient Breakthroughs Her favorite part of the job is witnessing those breakthrough moments—when patients who have been struggling finally begin to feel better, reclaim their lives, and celebrate small victories. Light and Joy Beyond the Clinic Outside of work, you’ll likely find Gracie playing Ultimate Frisbee, reading, writing poetry, cooking, or thrift store shopping. But wherever she is, one thing is clear: Gracie brings light, joy, and perseverance to everything she does. Gracie, thank you for being a steady presence and a source of joy.

Michaela's teammates at Houk Chiropractic & Medical Massage describe her as: A source of great energy and positivity Always looking for solutions Keeping others motivated and supported Consistently flexible and levelheaded , even while working through her own rehab. Leading by Example When she’s not in the clinic, Michaela’s on the move—playing soccer, hiking, or competing in co-ed volleyball with fellow teammates. She lives what she teaches: movement is life. Michaela's favorite quote sums it up beautifully: “Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” — Abraham Maslow About Heart of Houk Series Heart of Houk is a monthly spotlight recognizing team members who exemplify the values of communication, consistency, and compassionate care across all Houk Chiropractic & Medical Massage locations.
