Veronica Slaughter

Dr. Veronica Slaughter was born in the Philippines in 1951 to an American father and a Filipino mother. At the age of eight, she and her siblings were kidnapped by their father and brought to the United States. Despite her turbulent childhood, she persevered and achieved the American Dream through resilience and determination. After building a successful chiropractic practice in Southern California, she retired in 2017, following 35 years of dedicated service. She then moved to the beautiful island of Maui, where the Covid-19 pandemic gave her the opportunity to reflect on and document her early life experiences. In 2022, Veronica relocated back to California, where she now lives with her three beloved animals.

My Message

Because Life isn’t fair, it’s important to remember that how you deal with what’s thrown at you determines your happiness in the end. With every seemingly impossible situation you find yourself in, lean into the wind, fight for the life you want and deserve. Don’t let your past dictate your future. Never give up. Love, kindness, and forgiveness can be your weapons. I continue to battle my demons, heartbreak, and fears by making as many happy moments as possible, so when pain raises its ugly head, I have those beautiful moments to protect me.

I’m my mother’s daughter, a warrior from a warrior, and I know in the end, Love conquers all.
