I Stumbled Into Chiropractic Care

I wish my parents would have known what I now know about chiropractic. As a child, I suffered from severe asthma and allergies. I had to leave birthday parties early if I forgot to bring my inhaler and I ran around too much. From there I started getting frequent headaches and chronic sinus problems. This all was a "normal" part of my life that I was told I would outgrow.

As a pre-med student in college, I stumbled into chiropractic as a career path, thinking I wanted to be a "back-cracker." After several months of adjustments from an incredible chiropractor, all of the "normal" episodes of asthma, allergies, sinus problems and headaches had all dramatically diminished. With that first hand personal experience my decision was made. Nothing was going to stop me from becoming a chiropractor myself and helping people get off their medications and get healthy.

After receiving a B.A. in Biomedical Science, I attended Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Bloomington, MN. My education was an intense, difficult, but incredibly rewarding journey to gain the knowledge and tools to literally change lives. I couldn't wait to share with the world the power of chiropractic.

A Chiropractic Lifestyle

My husband and I met in college and now live in Lakeville with our four energetic children ages 8, 6, 4 and 2 and two Springer Spaniel puppies. We enjoy being outdoors, no matter the season. We love hanging out at the lake boating, swimming and fishing. I am doing my best to enjoy every moment of their childhood knowing that soon they will be adults themselves.

Like any mother I want the best for my children. The two greatest gifts I can give my kids…my own good health and theirs. That’s why my family and I get our spines checked regularly (on a weekly basis and sometimes more when needed). As parents, it’s our goal to teach our children through example that health is achieved through exercise, eating well and regular chiropractic care not from a potion, lotion or pill.
