Owner / Chiropractor

Dr. Sam March, D.C.

Dr. Sam is a dedicated chiropractor on a mission to transform healthcare in her community through proactive, family-centered care. She serves pregnant women, children, athletes, older adults, and supports families and organizations with chiropractic care and health coaching.

Originally from Jamaica, she discovered chiropractic during pre-medical studies in Florida while learning how the nervous system governs the body. Personal health struggles—migraines, pain, and recurring illness—ignited her passion for holistic care.

A 2014 Life University graduate, Dr. Sam specialized in pediatrics, prenatal care, and family wellness. She is Webster Technique–certified, has 200+ hours of maternal and pediatric training, and is pursuing the DACCP. She also holds certifications in health coaching and corrective chiropractic care.

Beyond practice, Dr. Sam partners with Dunwoody organizations, speaks and writes for health and family publications, and mentors future chiropractors as a Life Force doctor. In 2025 she authored Harmonize Your Life: Finding Alignment From Within, deepening her commitment to the physical, emotional, and spiritual sides of health. Off hours, she loves traveling and movie time with her two sons.

Chiropractor

Dr. Hector May Virella, D.C., M.S.

Born and raised in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico, Dr. Hector’s love of sport—especially track and field—led him to a B.S. in Exercise Science & Health Promotion with a minor in massage therapy at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón.

After two years as a personal trainer, a LIFE Leadership Weekend confirmed his calling to chiropractic. During training he mastered multiple techniques and served underserved communities on three mission trips (Haiti/Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Mexico).

He holds a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Master’s in Sport Health Science with a specialization in Sports Chiropractic Care. With a deep grasp of biomechanics, he treats injuries and supports athletes and active individuals—believing that “movement is medicine, and movement is life.”

Purpose and compassion ground his approach as he guides patients to reconnect with their bodies and reach their potential. Outside the office he enjoys lifting, track, family time, movies, bowling, and dancing.

Born in Guyana and raised in the Bronx, Julian brings a rich cultural perspective and hospitality background to our office. At Marriott, he honed a love for detail and memorable guest experiences.

Active by nature—roller skating, basketball, golf, the gym, and even chess—he channels that energy into helping every patient feel welcome and cared for. For the past year, JEWLZ has called Dr. Sam’s team “family,” taking pride in delivering an exceptional patient experience.

Her son is her world and her inspiration. She loves family time, exploring new restaurants, and deep conversations (including the occasional conspiracy theory). For KE, life is about growth, discovery, and connection.

Chiropractic Assistant

Jae

A wellness enthusiast, Jae loves crafting dynamic experiences for patients and seamless workflows for our Dunwoody team. Core values—knowledge, growth, accountability, and service—show up in every interaction.

Off the clock: family mini-golf adventures, beach escapes, movie outings, quiet time, and weekend walks or short hikes. Hot take: challenging theories about the unbelievably wild Harry Potter series epilogue—#HouseHufflepuff.

Kennedie Byrd

An Atlanta native and proud Georgia State University graduate, Kennedie is passionate about creating and sharing content that connects with diverse audiences.

Outside of work she explores new foods and restaurants, enjoys time with family and friends, and—of course—keeps creating. She’s excited to grow our platforms and elevate the office’s voice.
