Co-Owner, Doctor of Chiropractic
Parker University

Dr. Yaxi Almeida’s commitment is to help people in her community understand the true meaning of healthcare: minimizing the use of medication, preventing illness and disease, and ensuring families experience their fullest health potential. She loves seeing patients’ lives transform before her eyes, as they take control of their own health. As a native Puerto Rican, she has huge heart to serve the Hispanic culture by empowering them to understand how to truly experience health for their entire families.

During Dr. Yaxi’s early career as a teacher and professional basketball player, she was diagnosed with cancer. She was healthy and fit, and was doing everything “right” – yet still ended up with this diagnosis. Today as cancer survivor, Dr. Yaxi is passionate about helping patients discover the root cause of the problem instead of simply treating symptoms, in order to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Dr. Yaxi holds Bachelor’s Degrees in Science and Physical Education, and Master’s Degrees in Education and Leadership from The University of Puerto Rico. She received her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University, and has specialty certifications in spinal correction, customized nutrition and fitness, as well as advanced training in detoxification.

When she’s not working, you’ll find her traveling and experiencing new cultures, or outside connecting with nature, whether through paddle boarding, going for a walk, or sinking her toes into a sandy beach.
