Meet the Team at Altoona Chiropractic Life Center
Get to Know Us
Carolyn Fye, Office Manager
I have been a part of Altoona Chiropractic Life Center since my husband, the late Dr. H. Joseph Fye, and I opened the doors in December 1972. I met my husband while he was in Iowa, studying at the Palmer College of Chiropractic. When looking for the ideal location to set up the practice, we discovered Altoona, and made plans to move to Pennsylvania as soon as possible.
I left the office from 1978 to 1984 to raise our two sons, Brett and Brandon. Since my return, I have assumed the role of insurance billing specialist and office manager.
My youngest son, Brandon, moved to New York City in 2004 to pursue a career in television marketing. He visits Altoona frequently, so you can catch him around the office often. Chiropractic care is not just a part of my life….it is my life.
Robin Felix, Chiropractic Assistant
For the last 19 years I worked in the transportation industry and customer service. I was excited when Dr. Fye asked me to join his team at the Altoona Chiropractic Life Center. I was up for a new challenge. Some of my job duties include answering the phone, scheduling appointments, processing new patients, typing, filing, greeting all of the patients, and assisting the doctor with Patients before their adjustments. My husband Bryan and I have been married for 12 years. I have two stepdaughters Lauren and Shannon. On my time off I enjoy cooking and baking and spending time with family and my dog Tucker.
Heather Partner, Front Desk
Before coming to work at the Altoona Chiropractic Life Center, I worked in medical billing and coding since 2013. At the Altoona Chiropractic Life Center, I work the front desk, answer, phones, and greet patients when they arrive for their appointments.
My hobbies include bowling in leagues and watching sports including the Steelers, Pitt Panthers, and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Jaimie, Massage Therapist
In my teenage years, I began to experience a lot of pain and joint instability. I sought relief from a number of different professionals, but I didn’t experience a tremendous amount of relief or improvement. This experience inspired me to start reading a lot about pain, movement therapies, and a concept known as muscle dysfunction. I stumbled on a set of medical texts known as the Trigger Point Manuals by Travel and Simons in 2010, and better yet, a school in Pittsburgh that was teaching the material. After one session, I immediately felt a difference.
While massage and bodywork can benefit pretty much everyone, my focus has always been helping those with chronic pain conditions. Chronic pain is often difficult to navigate and symptoms can persist long after the offending tissues seem to have healed. Pain is as much a problem of the mind as it is a physical problem. Massage therapy is an incredible way to not only soothe muscles, but the nervous system as well.
