Alta Ulrich
Certified Chiropractic Assistant/Massage Therapist
My family and I moved to the Portland area in June 2008. We settled on the northwest after moving around for several years while my husband was in the Navy. I have been married since 2002 and have three beautiful children, two daughters and a son. As a family we enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and fishing. We travel to our home town in Washington frequently to visit family and have a great time doing road trips away from home.
I became involved in chiropractic in 1997 when I suffered a back injury. After my recovery I continued to use chiropractic as my maintenance program and became a Chiropractic Assistant in 2006. I started working for Dr. Ramsey full time in November 2008. After the birth of my son in April 2009 I made the decision to stay home with my kids. I still work part time helping with massage therapy and office projects to benefit the team.
