Dr. Daniel Parent is a 1994 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic. Prior to attending Palmer, he completed his undergraduate at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.

His post graduate education has consisted of holistic nutrition, functional neurology, radiology, pediatrics and sports injury rehabilitation.
He currently serves as Vice President of the NH Chiropractic Association and has previously held the role of President.
When Dr. Parent is not in the office, he enjoys spending his down time with his wife and two adult children. He is an avid fly fisherman, bowhunter, skier / snowboarder and mountain biker.
Dr Parent played Division II baseball at the University of Lowell. He found incorporating regular chiropractic care had a profound effect on his performance and his ability to recover quickly from injuries.
Dedicated to advanced training and lifelong learning, Dr. Nicole is Webster Technique Certified and continues her postgraduate education in chiropractic pediatrics and prenatal care through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). This specialized training focuses on gentle, evidence-informed chiropractic care for pregnant women, infants, and children, supporting healthy nervous system development, optimal pregnancy outcomes, and overall family wellness. Her work with the ICPA reflects her passion for caring for families from pregnancy through every stage of life.
In addition, Dr. Nicole holds an AIMSP International Certification in SoftWave Therapy, an advanced, non-invasive regenerative technology that stimulates the body’s natural healing response at the cellular level. As a SoftWave Trainer for the New England region, she educates and mentors other healthcare providers in the effective and safe use of this cutting-edge therapy for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and tissue regeneration, further advancing the standard of care within the chiropractic and sports medicine communities.
Originally from Windham, New Hampshire, Dr. Nicole Parent began her academic journey at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where she earned a degree in biology. Prior to chiropractic school, she spent a semester at Walt Disney World, gaining hands-on experience and completing business and marketing coursework taught by Disney executives—an opportunity that strengthened her leadership skills and patient-focused mindset.
Dr. Nicole went on to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where she earned both her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees. During her time at Palmer, she was deeply involved in academics and leadership, serving as an Embryology tutor, holding an executive board position with Sigma Phi Chi, a professional business sorority, and completing over two years of intensive training under internationally recognized sports injury expert Dr. Mitch Mally.
Dr. Nicole is passionate about supporting families at every stage of life by improving communication between the brain and body and empowering patients with the knowledge needed to take charge of their health.
When she’s not in the office, Dr. Nicole enjoys hiking, kayaking, playing softball, scorekeeping at a local hockey rink, spending time at the lake, and taking long walks with her dog, Bandit.
Dr. Dawna Parent attended the University of Massachusetts, Lowell studying biological sciences. She received her doctorate degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA in 1994. She and her husband, Dr. Daniel, opened Parent Chiropractic Center in Londonderry in 1995.
In 2010, Dr. Dawna obtained extensive training for Advanced Allergy Therapeutics and opened the Allergy Relief Center of Londonderry. In 2018, she became the first affiliate of the Lyme Laser Centers community as The Lyme Laser Center of Londonderry. As more and more clients continue to come to the clinic, it is overwhelming to consider the extent to which Lyme disease has affected the large numbers in New Hampshire alone. Dr. Dawna’s experience and background continue to grow as she navigates the complexities of Lyme disease.
Dr. Dawna continues her education training in nutrition, pediatrics, functional neurology, and all aspects of Lyme disease. Bringing years of experience in helping people with love and compassion along their health journey makes her heart full.
Dr. Dawna loves spending time with family and friends. She enjoys boating, concerts, and volunteering when she gets the chance.
