He has been a pivotal force in building several of the largest chiropractic health centers across the country including Atlanta, GA, Auburn, AL, and Columbus, OH where he was a founding member of Flourish Chiropractic- one of the most successful healthcare offices in the Midwest. At every stop he has helped thousands of kids, athletes, pregnant moms and entire families experience a better life through incredible health transformations. In early 2019, Dr. Tim moved to Parker, Colorado to bring a seven-year dream to life as Treehive was born. Now one of the best health centers in the state, Treehive has grown into a beautiful community of people seeking and realizing real life change together.
In the practice, Dr. Tim is the master of creativity and fun ideas. He is often found at the center of whatever laughter you will hear regularly throughout your visits. Dr. Tim is a professional problem solver and is constantly finding ways to innovate and improve the Treehive experience. If you find yourself in a place where you’re having anything less than a 10/10 experience- he’s the person to talk to.

His training under Ronnie Doss and Jack Canfield give him a unique insight into how individuals and teams can get better results faster.

From Dr. Tim- “Health is your greatest asset. With it, people rise. Without it, they fall. My commitment is to support you in achieving the health goals most important to you so that you can spend more time doing what you love with the ones you love.”

Dr. Haley is passionate about facilitating the reconnection of the brain and body through specific chiropractic adjustments. She believes the stronger our nervous system is, the greater expression of health we experience which allows us to show up authentically each day to serve ourselves and others, knowing that each one of us has a specific purpose for our life here. Our ability to feel the language of the body through sensations, empowers us to deepen into the present moment which is where all true healing and transformation happens. With each chiropractic adjustment, we connect back to the wisdom of our body which already knows the tone of perfect health and expression. This empowered state of true health is what Dr. Haley desires for every individual who steps foot into Treehive. You already have the medicine within you.

Reese
Assistant People Lover, Office Mascot
“My soul purpose is to lick everyone I meet and get them to scratch my butt.”
Reese is easily the most popular member of our team. Do not let her looks confuse you- she’s all girl- even though she has a better beard than most guys. She attended the Harvard of service dog training schools. Reese has been known to be an extreme couponer who shushes people in church. She also gets very offended if you do not take her handouts.
Reese is a team player and is also self-motivated to sweep the floor with her tail diligently whenever she sits close to you. If you are needing a little lick on the hand or some pet therapy- she’s your girl all day every day. Very gentle and sweet always. Reese is happy to be your friend, but she probably won’t ever stray too far from her main squeeze- Dr. Tim.
