Dr. David Bell

Doctor of Chiropractic From a young age, I’ve always felt a calling to serve—whether it was volunteering at church, helping out as a Boy Scout, or simply lending a hand wherever I could. That spirit of service has been a guiding force throughout my life, and it’s what ultimately led me to discover my true purpose in chiropractic care. My own journey wasn’t always easy. As a child, I struggled with learning—reading and math never came easily, and focusing in school was a daily challenge. Even through college, I found it hard to retain information and stay on track. It wasn’t until I experienced chiropractic care firsthand that things began to change. The transformation I felt was profound, not just physically, but in my ability to focus, learn, and thrive. What truly inspired me, though, was witnessing the impact chiropractic could have on entire families. I’ll never forget hearing the story of a man whose life—and the lives of those around him—were changed through chiropractic care. His wife had insisted he start care because of some reproductive concerns. He got under care albeit begrudgingly. The doctor sharing the story mentioned the man was very aloof, rude to the staff, and just generally a curmudgeon. Later on in care the doctor was talking to the man’s wife at a re-evaluation. He asked her what she had noticed about her husband since he had been under care. She of course said that his demeanor had changed, he smiled more, and was more present at home. The doctor confirmed that he and his staff had noticed the same. His wife went on saying that the most important thing that had changed was that her husband had stopped abusing their daughter… Read More

At that moment my heart sank and I sat there with my mouth hanging open. I had no idea chiropractic could make such a profound change. I realized it was way more than “backs” and “necks” or “cracks” and “pops”. It was at that moment that I realized the incredible impact this work can have, not just on individuals, but on their loved ones and those around them. That experience lit a fire in me. I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others experience the same transformation I had found. I dove into chiropractic studies and have been passionate ever since about learning new approaches to support the health and wellness of kiddos and families. Today, I am honored to serve the kiddos and families of the North Indy area at Hope. I truly believe that the future begins with our children, and that by supporting their health—especially their nervous system—we can set them up for lifelong success and help build a brighter, healthier world for everyone.

Rachel

Co-Owner/Chief Growth Officer

Hi, I’m Rachel, and working at Hope Chiropractic is truly one of my favorite things.

Though I’m not in the adjusting rooms or even in office day-to-day, you’ll often find me behind the scenes—working from home with my one-year-old sidekick in tow. Leading and growing the team at Hope feels like more than just a job—it feels like being part of a movement. I love what I do and who I get to do it with.

I grew up a small-town Ohio athlete with a big interest in nutrition and wellness. But even though I stayed active, I constantly battled fatigue, pain, frequent sickness, and struggled with severe insomnia and menstrual issues from a young age. I thought that was just part of being human—until I started college at the University of Cincinnati and met a future chiropractor. That chiropractor was Nick (now my husband), and being introduced to chiropractic truly changed every aspect of my life.

Outside of Hope, I teach and perform aerial dance, and I love movement in all forms—especially Pilates and yoga. I’m a lifelong learner, a passionate reader, and happiest when I’m with Nick, our son Elliott, and our giant schnauzer, Otto.

Laura

Lead Care Advocate I was born here in Indianapolis and, funny enough, grew up just down the street from Hope. I lived in Colorado for 5 years, but moved back home to Indiana and that’s when I found Hope (no pun intended). I’ve worked within a Care capacity in one way or another for the past decade and I absolutely adore getting to work with kids! My uncle is a chiropractor and I’ve received chiropractic care on and off my whole life, but working at Hope has shown me that not all chiropractic care is the same! I’m passionate about healing the body as naturally as possible and the nervous system is where it starts! With neurologically-based chiropractic care, it’s a completely different approach to heal the body and truly works wonders. I’ve not only experienced my own miracles under care here, but I’ve gotten to witness so many! My favorite parts of the job are celebrating your wins, high fives, and getting the first “Hi” or “Bye” from our non-verbal and speech regression kiddos. If I’m not at work, you can catch me out hiking, traveling, taking a yoga class, or flying around in the air at aerial class! I’m also a bit of a foodie and love to chat about new restaurants and local spots. I always enjoy a good book recommendation or a nerdy health conversation!

Lauren

Care Advocate

I was born and raised in the Indianapolis area, and my childhood was filled with your typical midwestern things: school, sports, family, and friends. It was, by all accounts, a happy and care-free childhood. My story is probably similar to many. As a child and young adult, I was a shy, perfectionist, student-athlete who unknowingly struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. As time went on, the anxiety only grew and manifested in different ways until I no longer could control it.

It wasn’t until after I had checked out, self-medicated, and gone to the depths of my personal hell that I began to find true healing. Once I started to clean up how I was caring for my body, I realized that I had been living in a constant state of fight-or-flight and that my kids were also stuck in it! We were in the thick of our very own Perfect Storm. I knew nothing about neurologically-based chiropractic care, but I followed a sign and my gut instinct to bring my children to Dr. Nick. Shortly after, I got under care and the rest is history!

Dalton

Care Advocate

Growing up in Jasper, Indiana, I always loved sports, especially baseball and football. I love the outdoors and in my free time I am either working out at the gym, exploring nature, or spending time with my family.

All my life, I’ve struggled with almost daily headaches, and we didn’t know what was causing them or how to treat them other than traditional medicine. I’ve always been a little skeptical of the chiropractor, especially with the “cracks’ and “pops” that are all over social media. Recently making the move to Indianapolis, I have learned about Hope Chiropractic and the benefits of neurologically-based chiropractic care through Dr. Nick and it is a whole different ball game! I’ve learned so much about the importance of the nervous system, and I am no longer struggling with migraines, and I am taking control of my health again!

Before getting the amazing opportunity to join the team, I actually started out as a practice member seeing Dr. Nick for regular adjustments. I have always loved the atmosphere here, and I knew that it was my calling to serve as many families and kiddos as I could. I am so proud to be part of a team so devoted to those families and kiddos, and I cannot wait for everyone to experience miracles like I did here at Hope Chiropractic through holistic and education-driven care.

Tracie

Financial and Internal Systems Lead Growing up in a very small town, chiropractic care wasn’t something my family had the knowledge of. I discovered chiropractic care after I graduated college and realized all the issues I had as a teenager could have been avoided with chiropractic care. In 2021, my husband and I moved from Texas to Indiana. During this move, this Texas girl learned what a true winter was! More importantly, I learned what neuro-based chiropractic care was and it completely changed my life. I realized that not all chiropractors are the same and neuro-based chiropractic care is what heals the body. I am so grateful that Hope Chiropractic gave me the opportunity to work remotely after working in the office for a year. Being part of a team that is providing families with hope, answers and help through neurologically based chiropractic care has become my passion! When I am not working I’m spending time with my husband Marcos and puppy Marvin. We love concerts, morning coffee walks and you will probably catch us at the movie theater almost every weekend. Fun Fact- Marvin is under chiropractic care too! Animal chiropractic saved him from having surgery when he was 3 years old and has been under routine care ever since. I know, so cool!

Rachel

Lead of Workflow I am originally from the Chicago suburbs, but moved to Indiana for college (Boiler Up!!) and moved to the Indianapolis area in 2016 with my husband. My daughter and I started at Hope as practice members in 2021 after she was born. She was just 5 months old at her first adjustment! I love the family focused care and how much education the team provides about the nervous system. It was an approach I’ve never had in chiropractic care (and believe me, I’ve seen a lot of different chiropractors throughout my life!) and I notice how different my daughter is compared to other kids her age in terms of health, focus/attention, and adaptability. I’ve worked in several different jobs in many different fields of work since I moved to Indy, but I finally found my home at Hope in 2023. Outside of work, I love aerial arts and performing around Indy. My family keeps me very busy, and I love to travel and explore new places!
