She received her Bachelor of Science with a concentration in psychology in 2012 from Indiana University-Purdue University.
Lavleen was previously an Assistant Professor at Indiana University and Project Manager of several research studies at IUPUI and IU, all with a focus on health promotion and disease prevention in community-based settings.
Lavleen’s research focuses on behavioral, social, and cultural factors that impact chronic disease risk and management. Her focus at Symmetria is to create and foster a health care model that places the patient at the heart of care. Her passion has always been in healthcare and non-invasive healing treatments focusing on fixing the cause rather than patching the symptoms. She began her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and saw the physical and emotional side effects of physical pain.
Seeing the repercussions of medication abuse and the emotional ramifications of reduced quality of life, prevention became a driving force in her career. Moreover, her training and education led her to look deeply at the impact of nutrition on chronic disease and physical medicine. At Symmetria, Lavleen strives to provide an environment where the determinants of healthcare are minimized and patient-centered care is reformed.
Her mission is to advance Symmetria Integrative Medical into the gold standard of healthcare through individualized, evidence-based treatment therapies. Her emphasis on community wellness and health promotion and prevention are the fundamental characteristics of Symmetria Integrative Medical.

Curious and inspired, Dr. Choi decided to try chiropractic for his own neck and back stiffness. The immediate relief he experienced and the chiropractor's ability to produce tangible results sparked his passion for the field.

Natasha serves as a Case Manager and X-ray Technician, passionate about being part of anexceptional team dedicated to providing long-term pain relief and empowering patients to reclaim their lives on their own terms.
Working closely with our medical providers, she plays a pivotal role in guiding patients through their healing journey, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.
Natasha’s dedication stems from her personal experience—years of searching for sustainable pain relief without success until discovering Symmetria Integrative Medical. This transformative experience drives her commitment to helping every patient feel truly heard and supported in their path to recovery.
In her free time, she finds joy in practicing Reiki, Qi Gong, attending Sound Baths, spending time in nature, fly fishing, and caring for her beloved animals, including dogs, bunnies, and chickens on her cottage hobby farm.
