Dr. Kayla Borgan
Hi I’m Dr. Kayla, I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science degree from Aurora University in 2017 and I received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in June 2022. I graduated with honors and a wealth of information that I could only have dreamed of a few years ago. I am Webster certified and I have taken many classes that have taught me about the pregnant population, pediatric population, as well as the adult population.
My goal is to provide the best chiropractic care to all those around me and help the community in any way that I can. In my spare time, I love to spend my time outdoors, reading, watching movies, exercising, baking, cooking, and spending time with my animals. I enjoy what I do and I couldn’t be happier that I was given the opportunity to be a chiropractor. I look forward to meeting you all and learning more about you!
Tamara Barker
COO
Tamara Barker works along side her husband Dr. James Barker as the COO of Bonfire Chiropractic. She first began working in the medical field at age 19 as a receptionist and over her career, moved into operations management. Over the past thirty plus years, she has worked in several specialties including gastroenterology, family practice, podiatry, pulmonology, endocrinology, and dermatology.
Her paradigm has shifted in the past 5 years from the traditional medical model of pharmaceuticals and invasive procedures as she’s learned the importance of a balanced nervous system through regular chiropractic adjustments that place the body in the optimal healing state.
In her spare time, she loves to read, travel and be outdoors with her husband and German Shepherd Murphy. She also is actively involved in ministry with her local Christian church.
