Ally Tuttle

Chief Operations Officer

My journey with Burien Wellness started in 2018 as a patient. I suffered from weekly, sometimes daily headaches and migraines for years. It wasn’t until I began chiropractic care that I was able to find long-lasting relief and get my life back. After receiving such amazing care, when I was asked to join the team in 2019, I jumped at the opportunity and have loved being in a place that can provide hope to others.

I am a helper by nature and it’s incredible to work alongside a team that wants to pour into the Burien community and help people not only physically but in all aspects of their wellness journey. Ultimately, I want people that I interact with to feel seen, loved and taken care of.

When I’m not in the office you can usually find me hanging out with my husband, Eli and my dog, Sadie or with my church community. In my free time I enjoy reading, spending time outside and doing puzzles.

I began my personal wellness journey when I was only 11 years old. While I was only a child during my care, I distinctly remember the positive change and energy that Burien Wellness put into my daily life. The warm greetings, genuine attention to my care, and the personal connection I was able to build at such a young age stuck with me. Now, I want to return what I was once given – this time, on the opposite end. I am excited to now be a part of the Burien Wellness team and create a positive change in our community of wellness and growth.

Traction Specialist

When I found Burien Wellness, I had essentially no chiropractic experience to clue me in on what to expect. Yet, within my first days I was awe struck. Not only by the supportive community that this place provides a home for, but by the amazing stories of progress that have made it such an important part of peoples’ lives. The opportunity to lend a helping hand to those in search of bettering their own health and mindset has been an extremely rewarding experience that I’ll always be grateful for. Just the way chiropractic has worked it’s way into being a vital and necessary part of my well-being, the opportunity to spread the word and to help more folks along the journey toward wellness is what makes me so excited to be a part of this team.

Billing Manager

I strive to be someone who serves others with compassion and joy and I desire to be a part of a community that seeks the flourishing of others. When I came to Burien Wellness as a patient I was struggling with anxiety and depression and found a place full of hope, healing and community. When the opportunity arose for me to join the team I did not hesitate. It is one of my greatest joys to serve alongside a group of people striving together to help others find hope and healing. When I am not at Burien Wellness I can be found hanging out with my husband, kids, and my church community.

Outreach

I believe connection, kindness, grace, and joy are vital pieces of wellness. I am a helper by nature, nourished by opportunities to love people. My passion for wellness began with my own health challenges related to gymnastics injuries, food allergies, and autoimmune disorders that I’d accepted as my “new normal” but wildly bloomed into what is my purpose: to love people, to help them love their wellness, even in the face of challenge because healing is so possible…

I found Burien Wellness as a patient, but am so grateful to have since become a part of the team that gave me so much hope.

My vision for people is to celebrate each other’s humanity, to dive into the incredible spaces of creativity, wellness, and life that we often forget to have gratitude for. I want every human being to experience what is possible for their own wellness and how capable their bodies are of healing.

If you found me outside of Burien Wellness, I’d likely be getting creative in the kitchen, making something with my hands or enjoying nature with my family.

Community Outreach

I was born and raised in Burien, and I love this community through and through. I grew up with chronic pain and eventually discovered that I had scoliosis. After being told that my only option would be to “stick some rods in there and learn to live with it,” I decided that that was unacceptable. My body deserves better than this, and there had to be a better way. When I found Burien Wellness, I was a patient and had no idea what to expect, and after going to the New Patient Workshop, I learned about how my spinal misalignments may be contributing to my other symptoms I’ve had since I was a kid! My mind was blown and the rest is history.

I’m a people person, and I love that I get to serve my community from the belief your body is smart and deserves health. You don’t have to settle for feeling “just okay,” and I’m lucky enough to get to be a part of the journey to optimal health for our patients.

When I’m not at work, you can find me chasing my kids around a park, tending to my garden at home or singing karaoke with my siblings. My hope is that I leave people feeling seen, understood and loved.
