McGowin, Sonia, DC

Dr. Sonia McGowin, DC is the owner of Covenant Pediatric Wellness Center. She is a Chiropractor and FOCUS certified doctor. She is also MAPS-trained and Webster certified. She is a graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City and lives in Jefferson City Missouri with her husband, Shannon in their newly empty nest. For 14 years, she was the Deputy Director of Outreach Services for the Judevine Center for Autism, working with families with autism across 92 counties of Missouri. The focus of her practice is children with complex needs, including learning disabilities, PANDAS, ADD/HD, autism, ARFID, PICA and oral restrictions. She uses a brain-based and biomedical approach to addressing their specific issues. Dr. McGowin is also a parent of a child who had unique needs. As a toddler, her son displayed many troubling issues such as a severe speech delay, self-injurious and aggressive behaviors. Traditional medicine offered no hope or help for her family. After undertaking biomedical intervention, he entered kindergarten indistinguishable from his peers and is now a theater major in college. She considers him her first recovery story!
