Our Team

Dr. Christian, a St. Louis native, made Indianapolis his home in 2018. His journey into chiropractic care began at an early age when several of his sports coaches — many of whom were chiropractors — introduced him to the benefits of chiropractic treatment. As a young athlete, he experienced firsthand the impact it had on performance, recovery, and overall health.

As the office chiropractic assistant Gracie works in hand with Dr Christian to help ensure patients are getting their care needs met. Whether that’s walking patients through rehabilitative exercises, assisted stretching, electrical stimulation, spinal decompression, theragun sessions or other therapies. Gracie is by your side helping you achieve your goals along the way. She earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree (BA) in Kinesiology from DePauw University in 2023. She has a passion for helping herself and others with their overall wellness. When not working at Emerson Chiropractic, Gracie loves to coach swimming, go on nature walks, and (sometimes) run!

As the office Community Outreach Manager, Ali serves as the liaison within the community for sponsorships, philanthropic efforts, and community engagement. Her eye for design and love of branding has helped elevate Emerson Chiropractic’s in-office materials. She enjoys educating patients on their care and benefits while working at the front desk to help create a compassionate and understanding environment. Ali graduated from Ball State University in 2021 with a degree in Marketing and Spanish. She has a passion for learning about people and how they make decisions and has used this to excel in her marketing career. Additionally, Ali obtained her Associate’s in Business Administration from Ivy Tech. Her experience in the marketing and customer service fields span more than 10 years. When not working at Emerson Chiropractic, Ali loves to go thrifting, hang out with her animals and work out! Ali’s advice for all patients would be “don’t forget to stretch and stay moving!”
