As a dedicated Patient Coordinator and Financial Accounts Specialist at MaxLiving Tech Ridge, I am passionate about helping patients navigate their healthcare journeys with clarity, support, and personalized care. My commitment to making chiropractic care accessible is matched by my deep understanding of the physical demands on the body, especially for athletes.

Before joining the chiropractic field, I was a college softball player, where I learned the importance of maintaining peak physical health. Throughout my athletic career, I faced numerous injuries and physical challenges that left me questioning how I could continue performing at my best. At one point, doctors even told me that I might need to quit the sport due to the toll it was taking on my body. It was through the guidance of chiropractic care that I discovered a new way to heal and maintain my performance. Chiropractic treatments not only helped me recover but also allowed me to continue doing what I love without the need to give up the sports I was passionate about.

This experience has shaped my approach to patient care today. I know firsthand how vital it is to find the right treatment and support when dealing with pain or injury, especially for active individuals. I bring this personal perspective to my role, ensuring that every patient I work with feels heard, supported, and empowered to take control of their health journey.

I was born and raised in Minnesota, and in October of 2020, I made the move to Texas to further my career in healthcare. My journey began in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where I attended college, and it was during that time that I discovered my true passion for patient care and wellness. This led me to MaxLiving, where I’ve been able to combine my love for helping others with my technical skills.

In my role as both an X-ray T ech and Patient Care Coordinator, I’m dedicated to providing high-quality imaging services while also ensuring that each patient feels comfortable and supported throughout their care experience. I work hard to make sure every patient’s visit is as seamless and positive as possible, whether it’s through accurate diagnostic imaging or offering compassionate care in the coordination of their treatment.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, hiking and spending time with my family. My goal is always to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve, whether it’s through the work I do at MaxLiving or in my daily life.

With a deep love for herbal health remedies and natural wellness, Arcacia (Kayce) believes in the profound connection between the body’s ability to heal itself and the support of nutrient-rich foods, supplements, and traditional herbal practices.

Before joining the chiropractic field, Kayce served as an educator and certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, guiding countless families through transformative seasons of life. Her work as a doula taught her the importance of nurturing not just the physical body, but also the emotional and spiritual well-being of those she supports. This philosophy carries over to her work in nutrition and holistic care.

Her journey to becoming a part of the chiropractic and wellness community is deeply personal. After surviving a car accident where her vehicle flipped across the highway and landed upside down, Kayce discovered the life-changing benefits of chiropractic care. While seeking treatment for injuries sustained in the accident, she also experienced unexpected improvements in her overall health—including the resolution of ovarian cysts after years of battling PCOS. This transformation deepened her belief in the body’s incredible ability to heal when supported holistically.

Today, Kayce is honored to integrate her passion for nutrition, herbal health, and chiropractic care to help patients achieve their health goals. Whether addressing digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or optimizing wellness, she is committed to crafting personalized strategies that honor each individual’s unique journey.

When she’s not working, you can find Kayce enjoying time in nature, traveling, or spending time with her family and friends. She believes that EVERY step toward better health is a step toward living a vibrant and empowered life.
