Born and raised just outside Chicago in Bolingbrook, Illinois, Dr. Anya Harris has spent 24 years helping people feel and move better through a whole-person approach to chiropractic care. She earned her undergraduate degree in Psychobiology with a focus on Mind-Body Wellness in 1997 before earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 2002.

Over her career, Dr. Harris has practiced in Western North Carolina, Chicago, and rural Missouri – including time serving an eco-village and the surrounding Mennonite community. She eventually returned to the mountains of Western North Carolina, which she now calls home.

Dr. Harris cares for people of all ages and is well-versed in prenatal and infant care. Her approach blends chiropractic with soft-tissue work, therapeutic movement, craniosacral work, nutrition, energy work, and sound healing. She incorporates sound as another way to encourage relaxation, body awareness, and nervous-system regulation. A yoga teacher since 2000, she also brings decades of experience with movement, breath, and the mind-body connection into her work.

As a person who walks her talk, her philosophy is simple:

Health is about more than fixing problems. It’s about feeling fully alive.

Outside the office, Anya enjoys spending time with her 24-year-old son and his wife, and enjoys practicing yoga, playing the French horn, making art, gardening, traveling, and exploring swimming holes with her mini-bulldog, Clementine.
