Dr. Dan completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Lowell, where he was also a Division II baseball player. His experience as a collegiate athlete sparked his passion for injury prevention, performance optimization, and helping others stay active and healthy.
He later earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic and has pursued additional education in functional neurology and advanced movement analysis. During his time at Palmer, Dr. Dan completed intensive training and lecturing with internationally recognized sports injury expert Dr. Mitch Mally. This training allows him to take a comprehensive approach to care, focusing on how the brain, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system work together to control movement and performance.
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.
