Karen Smith
Executive Director
“There is nothing better in the world than truly loving what you do every day. I have been blessed with being able to do just that. As a mom of three, I am raising my children to know what true wellness is and understand the benefits of regular Chiropractic care. As a result, they are growing up without any ‘childhood illnesses’ and are rarely ever sick. I am so proud to say they have never had any medications in their bodies! I know that this is because Chiropractic allows the body to function as God intended. There are many things I would love to share with you about our Center; however, I believe one of the most important is that when you become a practice member, you truly become part of our family. We do everything in our power to help you live the best life you can live!”
Hannah
Operations Manager
Lake Oconee & Milledgeville
Meet Hannah
Responsible for the daily operations of both Wellness Centers, Hannah’s primary focus is teaching and training. For over twenty years, she has been responsible for facilitating the relationship between Doctor and patient, as well as overseeing the entire staff. Hannah is the public relations coordinator for the Centers. “I am so grateful that someone cared enough about me to send me to Dr. Smith for help in 2004. My entire outlook on health has changed for the better, and it’s my pleasure to see our team and practice members experience this powerful way of life.”
Jocelyn
Patient Care Coordinator & Chiropractic Assistant
Lake Oconee
Meet Jocelyn
Originally from Eatonton, Jocelyn is a bilingual nursing student. As the youngest member of our team, she brings fresh energy to our front office. “I have wanted to be a nurse since I had a health crisis in elementary school. I never expected chiropractic care to play such a meaningful role in both my personal life and professional journey. Before joining the team at Pure Chiropractic, I struggled with constant headaches and poor posture—issues I often brushed off or tried to manage with medication. Nothing seemed to help long-term.
“It wasn’t until I was encouraged to try chiropractic care myself that I truly understood its impact. Through regular adjustments and posture-focused treatment, my headaches began to ease, and I became more attuned to how my body functions as a whole. Beyond physical relief, I noticed I was sleeping better, thinking more clearly, and walking with greater confidence. It completely shifted my view of preventative and holistic healthcare—an area I had barely considered before beginning my nursing studies.
“Working alongside this amazing team has only deepened that appreciation. I love being part of a clinic that supports the body’s natural healing and walks with patients through their wellness journeys. It’s incredibly rewarding to see someone arrive in pain and leave with relief, hope, and a renewed sense of empowerment. “Every day, I learn something new that shapes the kind of nurse I aspire to become—one who listens, educates, and treats the whole person, not just the symptoms.”
Jocelyn proudly calls herself an “indoors girl” — when not at our Lake Oconee office, you’ll find her shopping, grabbing bites with friends, or binge-snuggling her cat, Kira.
Amanda
Patient Care & Office Manager
Milledgeville
Meet Amanda
“Chiropractic care has been life-changing for me. I came to Dr. Sarah and the team as an acute case. She helped me get back on my feet and regain mobility. I learned more than I ever thought was possible, and I am amazed every day at how intricate and wonderful our bodies are! I know that from this day forward, chiropractic will always be part of my life and my way to stay young! I am honored to be part of this healthcare movement and blessed to be part of the incredible Pure Chiropractic team!”
Mary

Milledgeville
Meet Mary
“I have had the great fortune of being under the wellness care of Dr. Sarah at Pure Chiropractic Milledgeville since 2015. After raising three children and retiring from twenty-nine years of teaching mathematics, a door opened for me to be a part of the staff at Pure Chiropractic. I always called Pure Chiropractic “my happy place” because of the love and care shown to all of us, so this was my opportunity to be part of something so life-changing. I truly enjoy helping others discover their best selves through Chiropractic care in my practice. I am blessed with the best combination: part-time work, part-time retirement, and full-time health through Chiropractic!”
Maya
Patient Care Coordinator & Chiropractic Assistant
Milledgeville
Meet Maya
Born and raised in Milledgeville, Maya was a sprinter on the Baldwin County High School track team and later competed for Clayton State University. She graduated from Clayton State University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science. “As a recent college graduate still exploring my path, being part of this wonderful team has been incredibly meaningful. During my undergraduate studies, I knew I had a strong passion for health and wellness, even though I wasn’t quite sure where it would take me.”
“Working at Pure has deepened my appreciation for holistic care and provided me with a clear sense of purpose and direction. Every day brings new learning opportunities, whether about the human body, patient care, or the importance of collaborating with a supportive, dedicated team. I’m truly grateful to be growing both professionally and personally in such a positive environment.” When she’s not at our Milledgeville clinic, Maya’s usually busy whipping up her own
tasty recipes in the kitchen or binge-watching action-packed suspense shows on Netflix with her dad.
