Meet Our Staff
Lissa Whittenton
Lissa has the cumbersome job of running the entire front desk at the office single-handedly. And she does an amazing job! We have seen her go WAY out of her way for patients before (including solo performances of "Happy Birthday to You" down on her knees with her arms outstretched), and is a beloved fixture in the office.
Lissa was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and proudly refers to herself as a "Big Cheese-Head". Her Dad is Jesse Whittenton, who played football for the Green Bay Packers from 1958 - 1964.
"I suffered from migraines since the age of 3 and by age 18, I was unable to work or even get out of bed due to the excruciating pain." remembers Lissa. "All I could do was lie in bed and cry. My grandmother forced me to go to the chiropractor after exhausting all the available medical routes with no luck. After the first visit, the migraine was worse than it had ever been before and I informed my grandmother that I would NOT be returning to that doctor. My grandmother, being of Irish Catholic descent, informed ME: "Oh yes, You WILL be going back!"
"And.......so I did. By the third visit, my back and shoulders were loose and my headaches were gone!"
"I've been working here at Lifestyle Chiropractic for almost 8 years and believe that I'm truly blessed to have found these doctors! Not only for the care that I myself have received, but for the patients I see on a daily basis who share their progress with me. I have seen miracles worked here at this clinic, and I'm excited every day to be a part of it!"
Lissa spent 15 years working for the Hyatt Corporation in the past in such exotic places as Palm Springs, Long Beach, Hawaii and Kauai. She loves to dance, read, camp, horseback ride and water-ski.
Debbie Walters
Debbie's career experience has been in public relations, marketing and business development for a number of leading businesses and organizations in San Antonio. She has now taken on the challenging job of public relations manager and promotional assistant at Lifestyle Chiropractic, and we are happy to have her!
"I was involved in two major auto accidents that left me with chronic pain." says Debbie. "I had been on pain-killers for awhile that weren't doing much good, and I felt exhausted and discouraged. A patient at Lifestyle Chiropractic suggested that I come in to see Dr. Odmark, and the rest is history. The change was dramatic! Because of consistent adjustments and other fantastic treatments (NCR, NMT, GRT and NAET), I'm no longer in pain. Because of NAET, I no longer have my severe allergies, either. ( I didn't even realize there WAS a treatment for allergies!) I also used to be sick with strep infections multiple times each year.......and the NMT treatment has addressed that issue, too."
"I could go on and on. But the point is, my life has changed dramatically because of consistent alternative care."
Debbie is also a very talented artist and loves gospel music and loves singing in gospel quartets. She's been married to Gary for 30 years and they have two great kids, Erin and Ross.
Simone Bernal
Simone is the daughter of Dr. Sherson and Dr. Odmark and has worked off and on at Lifestyle Chiropractic since 1995 in many different capacities. She currently works part-time processing insurance and handling insurance inquiries, and also attends Wayland Baptist University pursuing a degree in accounting.
She is also Lifestyle Chiropractic's "Massage Therapist Extraordinaire". She has many dedicated clientele who all swear that "she's the best", and indeed, she is. If you would like to book a session with her you can reach her at 210-842-9112.
Simone has three wonderful boys, Nik (18), Calean (15) and Jacob (12), and shares her life as well with her partner, Angela, and their black lab mix, Meg Ryan. Simone adores music, reading, cooking, reality T.V. and spending time with family and friends.
"I've been around chiropractic and alternative medicine all my life", remembers Simone. "My sons all received their first adjustments on the very first day they were born, which got them all off to a healthy start. None of them ever had colic or had a vaccination, and none have ever been ill, other than a cold here and there. Chiropractic and all natural forms of health care have always played a huge part in my family's life."
