Chiropractor

Dr. Nora Zoma D.C.

Hi, I’m Dr. Nora Zoma, founder of Embody Health Chiropractic in Troy. I’m a chiropractor, wife, and mom of three, and I know firsthand how much life can take a toll on the body...whether it’s pregnancy, motherhood, long workdays, stress, workouts, or simply trying to keep up with a busy life.

My passion for health and movement started early. I’ve always been fascinated by how the body works and its ability to heal when given the right support. I studied biological sciences at Oakland University while also completing massage therapy training at Irene's Myomassology Institute, where I discovered how powerful hands on care could be in helping people feel and function better.

I later earned my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Southern California University of Health Sciences and graduated cum laude in 2011. Since then, I’ve continued to invest heavily in advanced training in rehabilitation, sports performance, pregnancy and pediatric care, functional neurology, and nutrition because I truly love learning and finding better ways to help my patients.

I’m a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP®) through the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians and Webster Technique Certified through the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA). I work with everyone from athletes and active adults to pregnant moms, babies, and children.

Outside the office, my husband and I stay busy raising our three kids... two girls and a boy. We love traveling, hiking, working out, being outdoors, and making memories together as a family. That balance between health, family, movement, and everyday life is something I deeply value, and it’s a big part of the care I bring to my patients.

My goal at Embody Health Chiropractic is simple: to help people feel better, move better, and live healthier lives so they can keep doing the things they love most.

Office Manager

Amanda

Hi, I’m Amanda Horne, and I’m the Office Manager here at Embody Health Chiropractic. I help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes while making sure our patients feel welcomed and cared for from the moment they walk through the door.

Sports and athletics have always been a big part of my life. I grew up playing basketball, volleyball, and especially softball — even making the varsity softball team as a freshman in high school. I still play today in a coed softball league and love the teamwork, energy, and discipline that sports bring both on and off the field.

At Embody Health, I’m usually the smiling face greeting you at the front desk, helping patients with scheduling, questions, and anything they need throughout their visit. I truly consider this office my second home and love creating a warm, positive environment for everyone who walks in. One of my favorite things is getting creative with our monthly office board and adding little touches that make the space feel fun, welcoming, and personal.

Outside of work, life stays busy in the best way. My husband is a paramedic and firefighter for Sterling Heights Fire Department, and we’ve been together for seven years and married for two. We have two amazing boys, Carson and Connor, who keep us constantly on our toes and bring so much joy to our lives.

Between work, family, and softball, life is definitely full, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m grateful to be part of a team that feels like family and to help create an experience where patients feel comfortable, supported, and cared for every day.

Massage Therapist

Stefan

Stefan’s passion for helping people move and feel better started long before becoming a massage therapist. He spent eight years working as a Physical Therapy Assistant, where he developed a strong foundation in rehabilitation, movement, and hands-on care.

During that time, he discovered how much he loved combining manual therapy with exercise and mobility work to help strengthen the spine, restore balance in the body, and improve overall function.

Wanting to deepen his skills and provide even more hands-on care, Stefan went on to pursue Massage Therapy and has now been practicing for over 10 years. His passion for learning has taken him through advanced training both in the United States and overseas in Europe, where he completed additional coursework to further expand his techniques and approach to treatment.

Stefan specializes in sports medicine and therapeutic massage with a strong focus on spinal mobility and strength, orthopedic manual therapy for the extremities including the shoulders and knees, deep tissue work, stretching, and movement-based recovery. His treatments are focused not only on relieving tension and pain, but also on helping patients move better and stay active long term.

In addition to his orthopedic and sports therapy background, Stefan has also completed Part I and II Craniosacral Therapy training, along with prenatal and pediatric training. He has experience working with pediatric patients with conditions such as torticollis and cerebral palsy, bringing a thoughtful and individualized approach to every patient he treats.

One of the things patients appreciate most about Stefan is his genuine passion for continuing to learn and grow in his field. His dedication to expanding his knowledge and improving patient care aligns perfectly with the philosophy at Embody Health Chiropractic...always learning, always growing, and always striving to better serve our patients and community.
