Allison was a provincial-level gymnast throughout her childhood and coached the sport for 7 years, working with children from 1-18 years old. Multiple sports injuries in gymnastics, football and track and field led her to chiropractic care and although she was leery at first, the results were undeniable. Exposure to the art of chiropractic fostered her desire to alleviate pain in all forms. This led Allison to the University of Waterloo where she completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. Co-op placements at Back to Function in Orillia and Able Chiropractic in Huntsville solidified her love for chiropractic and she completed her degree in 2019 at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.

She is a proud member of the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association which provides additional training in treating infants/children and is certified in Webster Technique for treating pregnant women.

Kali McCaskill
Born and raised in Toronto, her first office job was for her father; on days off from school she would go to work with him answering phones, delivering mail, making photocopies- whatever she could do to help. She brings the same genuine desire to help to the team at Knox.
Kali's ties to Huntsville run deep; her great, great grandfather was the first minister at All Saints Anglican, her great-grandmother ran a resort on Fairy Lake, and her grandmother was born in town. Spending her summer and winter holidays locally meant it was an easy transition when she moved here in the late 70's to finish high school. Now Kali has 2 adult children, a cat and (too) many houseplants.
Kali's natural ability to connect with people makes her a welcome face at the front desk. Her varied experiences in education, retail and the food and beverage industry have given her the wide range of skills necessary to run a busy office. "Every day can have a new challenge- I really love my job. It's such a gift to work with this incredible group of women."
