Meet Our Family

We have made it our mission to empower people to take control of their health and be inspired by the fact that their body is designed to be healthy and thrive. Through breath, awareness, and movement the nervous system is able to release patterns of tension that have been locked into the body due to varied stressors that have occurred and accumulated over a lifetime. We provide support to families to allow them to live happier and healthier lives. We welcome you to join our family, so that we can help yours.

Dr. Erin O’Daniel

Hello! I am Dr. Erin.

I knew from a young age that I not only loved to learn, but I loved to teach! It was when I visited a chiropractor as a child, I realized I didn’t have to choose—I could combine my passion for learning and teaching about the body through chiropractic. I attended chiropractic school at Life University, where I met my husband, Dr. James. After graduation, we moved to New York City to begin our own practice, working not only to encourage healing in our members’ bodies but also to teach hundreds of moms, children, and families about health, healing, and what it truly means to feel well.

In May of 2024, I gave birth to my radiant son. Experiencing pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period first hand has deepened my understanding in ways no textbook ever could. These experiences have given me both practical knowledge and a heart-to-heart connection that I now pass along to the families I work with. My perspective on the body's incredible ability to adapt, heal, and thrive has only expanded, and I bring that insight into every adjustment and conversation in our practice.

These days, I spend less time rock climbing and reading (though I do sneak in audiobooks when I can!) and more time playing with my son—marveling at how he learns, moves, and grows each day. When I’m not at FOLC, you can still find me hiking, traveling, cooking, paddleboarding, and soaking up time with my friends & family—including our two snuggly dogs!

Dr. James Cardo

Hi, I’m Dr. James.

As the youngest of 7 children, I’ve had the privilege of watching my family grow and evolve. From a young age, I found joy in seeing others thrive—whether it was cheering on my siblings or later guiding my practice members toward their highest potential. I grew up marveling at God’s creations and imagining what we, collectively, are truly capable of becoming. It is my passion and purpose to work alongside people who are genuinely seeking to become the best version of themselves.

Using my background in psychology, nutrition, and exercise science, I take a holistic approach to care, addressing concerns from multiple angles. I believe humans are incredible beings, capable of phenomenal things with just a little guidance. Whether it's through chiropractic, movement, or mindset shifts, I love helping people unlock their potential.

Beyond FOLC, I own The Mats Academy, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Fort Worth, where I teach both kids and adults how to move, defend, and challenge themselves in new ways. I’m also the best dad ever (just ask my son!). Fatherhood has given me a whole new appreciation for growth, learning, and play. These days, when I’m not adjusting, rolling on the mats, or diving into my usual stack of 4+ books, you’ll find me on adventures with my family, embracing the beauty of life, movement, and connection.

Dr. Jamie Milchanowski

Hi, I’m Dr. Jamie!

My chiropractic journey started when I was just 3 days old. Receiving weekly adjustments my entire life allowed me to excel as a competitive gymnast, stay balanced, be healthy, have a vibrant pregnancies and deliver a healthy baby boy. I am blessed to be a chiropractor and provide this care back to our members.

My mission is to educate and empower people to connect to their bodies. Through gentle chiropractic adjustments I remove layers of stored tension allowing your body’s nervous system and other systems of communication to connect, heal and function at their fullest expression. After experiencing two pregnancies and welcoming a healthy boy and girl, I’ve discovered my true calling in adjusting pregnant people to support the best possible pregnancy and birth. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me cooking or enjoying the beach with family and friends.

Dr. Madelyn Cooper

Hi, I’m Dr. Madi!

It is my joy to passionately serve as a chiropractor for spines of all kinds. I graduated from Life University in 2016 and went on to receive my Veterinary Chiropractic License from the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA). I am currently a mobile chiropractor, spending my time traveling up and down the east coast providing gentle, neurologically based adjustments to people and their horses/ dogs/ llamas/ chickens etc.

I believe every spine I encounter should be checked for optimal central nervous system function. I am so excited to make Flower of Life Chiropractic a stop along my journey and adjust you and your family! When I am not adjusting, you can find me at the barn with my dog Dani riding my two horses Cooper and Tux.

Dr. Laura Roos

Hi, I’m Dr. Laura!

My introduction to the health and wellness field started in the food industry. I initially thought I would pursue a Masters in Food Science but decided to take the leap and apply to chiropractic school - an avenue of health that I had always been curious about. Three short months later I moved to New York and started classes where I finally felt like I was connecting with the work I was doing. Shortly into my chiropractic journey, I realized the deep potential it unlocks in us.

With over 10 years in practice, my mission has always been to meet members where they’re at and discover together all that chiropractic can offer them. I believe that every body is different and every body deserves to heal and function at its very best. When I’m not at the practice, you can find me cooking, baking, reading, traveling, and hanging out with my husband and our mini dachshund, Dexter.

Liz

Hello, I'm Liz! I am FOLC's Wellness Advocate.

I’m a performer, writer, and theatrical instructor with a deep love for movement, storytelling, and human connection. Originally from Buffalo, NY, I trained at The American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and The Stella Adler Studio of Acting in NYC. I’ve taught at The School of Creative and Performing Arts and The Dalton School in Manhattan, and my work has taken me around the world—including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

My journey started in dance, where I first discovered the power of movement in shaping how we experience life. I strive to bring vitality, ease, and understanding wherever I am. Connection is at the heart of everything I do, and I’m passionate about creating an environment where people feel seen, heard, and supported.

When I’m not in the office, I can be found occupying various theater spaces, speaking passionately about Alan Rickman’s diary, and relentlessly searching for spicy food and playful, energetic souls to run with.

Amanda

Hi, I'm Amanda! I serve as FOLC’s Member Coordinator.

Growing up in Queens, I was surrounded by a rich and diverse community that shaped my deep appreciation for connection and belonging. This journey led me to a heartfelt commitment to mental health, where I believe in the power of healing and shared experiences. My goal is to create welcoming spaces where people feel seen, heard, and supported.

In my free time, I enjoy cherishing moments with family and friends and sharing quality time with my dog. I also find joy in practicing yoga—a practice that nurtures inner peace, balance, and connection. I recently completed my Reiki Level 1 training, further deepening my dedication to holistic well-being and healing.

My journey is centered on nurturing resilience and building supportive communities where everyone can thrive!
