Kerri Des Jardins

Practice Manager

Kerri is an expert in making your day brighter. She is the voice you’ll hear when calling Body Back Chiropractic and the person behind the warm greeting you’ll receive when walking in the door. As office manager, she strives to keep our busy clinic running smoothly to ensure a happy visit for the whole Body Back family.

Coming from operating a small vintage shop in Saco, ME and managing a busy restaurant in Biddeford. Making you at home is her #1 priority.

When not at the office you will catch Kerri spending as much time as possible with her merchant marine husband, Sean. Traveling and enjoying every moment of life together. She truly loves the outdoors and is so close to her goal of hiking the ‘New England 67 4,000’ mountains.’ “Summiting Mt Katahdin solo has been one of the best life changing experiences of my life so far.”

You’ll meet in our extensive rehab space where she’ll work with you and guide you through your prescribed rehab exercises. With a hospitality background, Natalie has a heart for those around her and strives to create a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Koda

Koda is the gentle old man, he’ll come to greet you gracefully and ask you for as many pets as you’re willing to give. He adores cuddles and will lean right in if you allow him to. He loves “holding” hands and will ask for love with the sweetest puppy eyes imaginable.

Moose

Moose is our young spunky German Shepard, thru and thru! He may slink in while you’re getting adjusted just to be there for comfort and a few pets. He’s obsessed with a ball and finding the tiniest stick possible to play fetch with. But knows when its time for him to “go to work” and to just be the chill laid back sleepy guy, to be found napping all over the office.
