Everyone on the outreach team has served in the military, and almost all of them have served in combat. They have a 24 hour resource line for crisis situations, and they operate in 12 different locations across the state. We recommend you call the outreach team member closest to you to get started.

Living Well

Clinic Director and owner Dr. Tiffany Renaud graduated from the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois in 1991. In 1993 she moved to Vermont with her partner Mary Spicer and opened the “Center for Chiropractic & Holistic Health” on San Remo Drive in South Burlington. Drs. Renaud and Spicer practiced together until 2006, when Dr. Spicer moved her practice to Shelburne. Dr. Renaud continued practicing on San Remo Drive under the name “Living Well Chiropractic” for 6 years.

In February 2012, Dr. Renaud purchased the “Spinal Decompression Center” on Williston Road from Dr. Laura Ramirez and moved her practice there, calling it “Living Well Spinal Care Center.” Dr. Renaud's staff has grown from a small group of 3 on San Remo Drive to 19 employees in the span of 5 years, a clear indication of the growth of the business. In 2016, Dr. Renaud joined with Essex Aquatic & Rehab, an aquatic physical therapy facility in Essex Junction directed by Veronica Paquette, P.T. Over the years, 95% of new patients coming to the clinic are from personal referrals, which have sustained Dr. Renaud's practice for over 27 years. In April 2019, Living Well Center for Integrative Health merged with its aquatic facility and now all services are under one roof. In January 2021, Cornerstone Physical Therapy will merge with Living Well bringing Holly Spence and Wayne Villeneuve to the Living Well team.
