Tamara works alongside her husband Dr. Barker as COO. She started in medicine at 19 as a receptionist and spent thirty-plus years in operations across gastroenterology, family practice, podiatry, pulmonology, endocrinology and dermatology.

Over the past several years her view has shifted from the traditional medical model toward the role a well-regulated nervous system can play in health, which is what brought her to chiropractic.

She is active in ministry with her local church and spends her spare time reading, traveling and outdoors with her husband and their German Shepherd, Murphy.
