At the Center for Health and Healing, we believe true wellness starts by understanding why symptoms exist in the first place. For more than 30 years, we’ve helped patients uncover the root causes of chronic health challenges rather than simply masking symptoms. Our approach combines functional medicine, natural therapies, chiropractic care, advanced testing, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies to restore balance throughout the body.
Whether you’re struggling with autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, inflammation, or unexplained symptoms, our goal is the same: help your body heal, function, and perform the way it was designed to.
We don’t believe healthcare should be rushed. That’s why every patient receives individualized attention, comprehensive evaluation, and a personalized plan designed around their unique health story.
Many healthcare models focus on managing symptoms. At the Center for Health and Healing, we focus on identifying and addressing the underlying dysfunction that is preventing the body from healing. We listen carefully, look deeper, and connect the dots that are often overlooked.
By evaluating how your body’s systems work together, we can uncover the source of health challenges and create a pathway toward long-term wellness. Instead of suppressing symptoms, we strive to restore function, resilience, and vitality from the inside out.

For Dr. Laurie Dady, helping people achieve optimal health isn’t just a profession. It’s a lifelong passion rooted in her own experiences as an athlete, competitor, patient, and healthcare practitioner.
Long before she became a doctor, Dr. Dady was fascinated by the incredible capabilities of the human body. A lifelong athlete, she played nearly every sport imaginable before earning All-American honors in track and field at Auburn University, where she graduated in 1989. As a collegiate heptathlete, she competed in the 1984 Olympic Trials, pushing her body to perform at the highest level of competition.
Her pursuit of excellence continued beyond college when she competed professionally as an all-natural bodybuilder, earning some of the sport’s highest honors, including WNBF Ms. World, Ms. International, and Ms. Universe titles.
But it was an injury that ultimately changed the direction of her life.
During her recovery, Dr. Dady experienced firsthand the healing power of chiropractic care. What began as a path back to health sparked a deeper curiosity about how the body heals and what it truly takes to achieve lasting wellness. While chiropractic treatment proved transformative, she realized there was much more to healing than addressing structural issues alone.
That realization set her on a lifelong journey to understand the body’s interconnected systems and uncover the root causes of disease and dysfunction.
After graduating from Life University in 1994, Dr. Dady began building the foundation for what would become the Center for Health and Healing. She has now spent more than 30 years helping patients restore their health and opened her Marietta practice in 2000. Along the way, she developed a straightforward process to reverse diseases and illnesses.
Throughout her career, Dr. Dady has completed more than 10,000 hours of chiropractic training and over 2,000 hours of advanced education in functional medicine. In 2009, she became certified in Nutritional Response Testing and has pursued extensive postgraduate study in restorative endocrinology under the mentorship of Dr. Janet Lang, a pioneer in the field.
Today, she combines chiropractic care, functional medicine, nutritional therapy, hormone balance, and lifestyle-based healing strategies to help patients overcome chronic health challenges and achieve lasting wellness.

Dr. Dady’s philosophy is simple: listen to the story your body is telling.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, she works to identify the underlying imbalances that are preventing the body from functioning at its best. She often describes her approach as “listening to the story your body is telling” and helping patients understand what that story reveals.
By taking time to understand each patient’s unique health history, lifestyle, and physiology, she develops personalized plans that support healing from the inside out.
“I walk the walk and talk the talk,” says Dr. Dady. “I would never expect my patients to do anything I would not be willing to do myself.”
Having spent her life pursuing peak performance and overcoming physical challenges of her own, she understands the discipline, commitment, and support required to create meaningful health transformations. Her goal is not simply to help patients feel better, but to help them heal, thrive, and perform the way they want to and deserve to.
“When patients first walk through our doors, many are exhausted, frustrated, and beginning to lose hope. The greatest privilege of my career is helping them find answers, restore their health, and get their lives back. Watching someone go from simply surviving to truly thriving is what inspires me every single day.”
Dr. Laurie Dady
