Helping Fayetteville Thrive Through Corrective Chiropractic Care

Laura and her husband Scott relocated from their native Cape Cod, MA to Northwest Arkansas in 2016 with The United States Air Force. In addition to her Boston accent, she brings with her over 30 years of clinical medical office administration and management experience, with a strong focus on patient advocacy, education, and wellness.

A lifelong migraine sufferer, Laura feels truly blessed to be a part of the Thrive team and has seen the benefits of chiropractic care in her life. 'I spent most of my life missing out, I missed work, I missed time spent with my children, I missed opportunities, but Dr. Ben put me on a therapeutic plan to not only help migraines when they hit, but has practically eliminated them altogether! In addition, I’ve noticed a drastic overall improvement in my health — I rarely get sick and have more energy to enjoy my life. It’s so exciting to be part of a team that is helping to achieve miracles in people's lives.” No longer debilitated by the pain and limitations of a life with migraines, she is enjoying life to the fullest: traveling, cruising, camping, hiking, watching her beloved New England sports teams, volunteering in her community, and working part-time for Live Nation as a VIP tour rep production assistant.

Melissa joined the Thrive team in November 2020, bringing with her over 20 years of medical and administrative experience. An Arkansas native, Melissa joined the United States Navy after high school where she served as an Administrative Assistant onboard the USS Puget Sound in Norfolk, VA. Loving her hometown roots, she returned to Arkansas to raise her family. She enjoys soaking up all the Natural State has to offer, including walking, hiking, and exploring nature with her children.

After years of administrative work, she suffered from constant neck and shoulder pain. “Years of desk work really took a toll on my body, leaving me in constant pain and fatigue. Since joining the Thrive team, I’m seeing the benefits of chiropractic care in my overall health. I have less pain, better concentration, and more energy to enjoy life!"

Lucy is the creative director of Thrive Wellness Center and Dr. Ozanne’s fun-loving wife! She was born and raised in Malvern, AR. She has a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, loves interior design, painting, birding and gardening. She has a love for travel but also loves the feeling of a small town and familiar faces. She currently spends a lot of time having fun at home with their young children, Stella, Birdie and Violet, but also assists with community outreach at Thrive. She loves creating partnerships and connecting with people in the community. Being diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 12, she has personally benefited from chiropractic care and is so grateful to be a part of sharing chiropractic with the Northwest Arkansas community.

As the Rehabilitation Director at Thrive Wellness Center, Philip helps patients restore function, improve resilience, and build lasting confidence in their movement. His approach combines corrective exercise, strength training, and practical movement education. The goal is simple: help people move better, feel stronger, and take ownership of their physical health.

Instead of focusing only on pain or physical structure, Philip emphasizes capacity—what the body can do and how it can continue to adapt. Through guided movement and collaborative decision-making, he supports patients in shifting from passive care to active participation in their recovery. He believes rehabilitation should give people the knowledge, strength, and confidence to maintain their progress long after treatment ends.

Alongside his clinical work, Philip and his wife, Hannah, run a small personal training facility called The Body Shop. There, they coach individuals in strength development and movement training.

Philip is a 500-hour Advanced Certified Yoga Teacher and holds a Level 2 certification in Functional Movement Screening (FMS). This training supports his ability to analyze movement patterns and design safe, effective programs.

Committed to continued growth in rehabilitation and patient care, Philip is preparing to apply to the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at Northwest Arkansas Community College.

His work is guided by a clear philosophy: help people build strength, confidence, and long-term independence through movement.

Originally from Denver, Colorado, Megan earned her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Metropolitan State University of Denver. She is currently pursuing her Physical Therapist Assistant degree at Northwest Arkansas Community College.

At the clinic, Megan helps patients improve mobility and function in a practical, supportive way. She focuses on steady progress rather than perfection. Her approach is body-positive and inclusive, rooted in the belief that anyone can build strength and improve movement—regardless of age, size, or starting point. Her goal is to help people move better and feel more confident in their daily lives.

Outside of work, Megan enjoys exploring Arkansas, especially through hiking. She also loves traveling, cooking, baking, kickboxing, and staying active—often with her dog, Lexi, by her side.

Elizabeth has called Northwest Arkansas home since childhood, after moving from Southern California. Her passion for health and wellness led her to earn a degree in Nutrition from the University of Arkansas.

She first connected with Thrive as a patient in June 2025. It didn’t take long for her to see an opportunity to turn her passion into something more meaningful. Now part of the Thrive team, Liz is focused on helping others experience the benefits of a natural, balanced lifestyle.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends and exploring everything Northwest Arkansas has to offer.
