About Us

Our Office

In essence, the doctors Vaughn and O'Keefe have been "Restoring Health" together since 2013 and felt the need to expand their presence, outreach, services, health care providers and EVEN their name.


Restoring Health Holistic Wellness Center was born out of the vision of the founding doctors. Their goal is to start locally in Altamonte Springs and then reach as many people in the nation and the world as they can to help individuals regain, maintain and restore the vibrant health that they are meant to have. 


Our center is dedicated to bringing back energy, longevity and vitality to each individual. No person has the exact same health challenges and our goal is to provide expert Health care to help YOU determine how to navigate your unique blueprint to restore your health.

Dr. Jessica Mitchell, DC

Dr. Jessica Mitchell (“Dr. J”) is one of the most passionate and energetic people you will meet! She is committed to supporting the health and wellness of each of her patients with a holistic approach that addresses the whole person.


Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, she attended Edgewater High School (Go Fighting

Eagles!) where she was highly active in the athletics program. Dr. J has known she was going to be a doctor since she was 2 years old when she began carrying around her Fisher Price doctor’s kit to “fix” all her family and friends. Being the oldest of 5 kids in her family, she had lots of practice!


Dr. J did not discover Chiropractic was her life’s calling until she was working as a

paralegal and studying for the LSAT. She was thrilled to find out she could incorporate her passion for helping women, kiddos, and athletes into one career! She headed off to UCF’s Honors College as a Pre-Med student, then transferred to Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama where she obtained a B.A. majoring in Psychology and minoring in Human Development & Family Studies. In typical Dr. J fashion, she totally nerded out and graduated with honors as Salutatorian in 2013 from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, FL with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree.


While still in school, Dr. J became certified in Webster’s Technique (Webster’s Technique is a specific technique designed to alleviate tailbone constraint, usually in pregnant women so baby can get into an optimal position for easier labor and delivery). 


She also has focused training in pediatrics, soft tissue dysfunction and functional nutrition. Her love for learning translates into educating and inspiring her patients to advocate for themselves and be in the best body they can.


Out of the office, Dr. J can be found hanging out with friends and family, at the gym,

exploring the outdoors, trying new food, drinking coffee, and eating dark chocolate. She is excited to be teaming up with Restoring Health and to meet each one of you!
