Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Dr. Mariel Phillip graduated from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore with a Bachelors in Biology. This was when she developed her passion for Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM). From a young age she always had an interest for the human frame and health which led her to the Art, Science and Philosophy of Chiropractic. She went on and was accepted into the University of Bridgeport’s Chiropractic College program, graduating as a Board-Certified Chiropractic Physician utilizing various treatment techniques to assist the human body with its natural ability to heal.

Since graduating Dr. Mariel has practiced chiropractic care for over 12 years gaining understanding of the vast number of health disparities an individual can face. These experiences have fueled her desire to truly heal an individual's mind, body, and soul together as one. Thus, Heart Chiropractic and Wellness (HCW) was born.

Dr. Mariel’s desire for Heart Chiropractic and Wellness is to set the highest standard for what optimal healthcare should look and feel like. While it's easy to envision a routine visit to any healthcare practitioner's office: white walls, a cold environment, and an uptight, sterile feeling, Dr. Mariel had another idea for Heart Chiropractic and Wellness. She envisioned a warm and inviting setting with top tier service and a spa-like experience. By nurturing every aspect of the human body from physical and emotional to spiritual and mental. Heart Chiropractic and Wellness is a unique chiropractic practice where essence meets health.

When she’s not working with patients, Dr. Mariel enjoys being an active mom, biking, reading, listening to music, DIY projects, volunteering, new plant based foods/recipes and car karaoke!
