Mia Thornton

Mia Thornton is a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum as an entrepreneur, multi-clinic franchise owner, regional developer and marketing executive for the Joint Chiropractic. 

Mia is a graduate of Southeastern Institute, where she received a degree in neuromuscular massage therapy. After graduation, Mia launched her career in Charlotte, N.C., as a clinic director, which eventually led to a five-year partnership with a prominent Fortune 500 company and the ownership of Massage Envy Spas. Soon afterward, the expanded success of the company allowed her to develop Joint Chiropractic doctor offices across the Northeast region to include North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland and New York. In 2020 she launched a boutique e-commerce store, Amilleon London, with a limited edition Lip Collection.

Mia currently resides in Maryland with her husband, Gordon Thornton, of 10 years, and three children – Joshua, Jeremiah and Juliana. Her philanthropic passion has led her and Gordon to serve on the board and sponsor families at the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte. She is also a proud sponsor of a Better World, UNCF, Autism Speaks, a Child’s Place, Elizabeth City State University, St. Jude, and CASADC.org.
