She Shut Down a $20K/Month Med Spa to Go All-In on Chiropractic

How Dr. Lisa Parissi built a thriving high-ticket chiropractic practice in Newport Beach (one of the most saturated markets in the country) charging high-ticket care plans to patients who are actually invested in their health. Discover why she burned the boats, moved across the country, and bought a practice she couldn't afford.

Dr. Lisa Parissi runs Wellness Choice in Newport Beach, California. But her story started in Florida doing personal injury cases with patients who didn't care about getting better. She was miserable.


So she made a decision most people would call crazy: moved across the country to buy a CBP practice she couldn't afford, in a city where she knew one person, using a technique she hadn't learned yet. The bank gave her the loan because of one thing: a handwritten letter that showed grit.


In this episode, Lisa breaks down her sales process for $10K care plans, why she shut down a $20K/month med spa to refocus on pure chiropractic, and her curated wellness collective model that beats cold ads for lead quality. We also dive into her 5-year exit plan, the health scare that forced her to rethink everything, and why mindset work became more important than business coaching. If you're stuck in the volume trap or want to build a boutique practice that serves the top of the market, this is for you.
