Chandra was born at Lincoln County Community Hospital in Hugo, CO on April 26, 1976. She attended Flagler High School and graduated from Plateau Valley High School, in Collbran, CO in 1994. She earned her doctorate degree in chiropractic and graduated from Parker Chiropractic College in 2003. She established her own practice, specializing in expectant mothers, babies and children. As her own sons began to pursue athletic interests, she began to study chiropractic and sports medicine.
Chandra established her first chiropractic office, New Beginnings Family Chiropractic in 2004. She expanded her business, building a larger building employing additional doctors and staff, in Keller, TX, in 2016. She further expanded her business to include a second Fort Worth Office in 2017. She was adored by her many patients.
She was a credentialed extension faculty member at Parker University with a very active role in the practice-based internship program.
Chandra married Rogelio (Roger) Silva on August 27, 2005 in Coppell, TX. They welcomed two sons, Xavier in 2006 and Gabriel in 2009. Her sons were, “the most amazing thing I ever created”. She was an active baseball mom, always encouraging Xavier to improve on his extraordinary pitching and hitting skills. She was continually helping Gabriel explore his many talents, especially his amazing ability to construct things with his hands, always surprising her with his creativity. She was their biggest fan.
Her interests included everything. Literally, everything. She sewed, crocheted, did handy work, built doghouses, gardened, organized block parties, acted as a wedding planner, and the list goes on. There was not anything she could not do.
