About Me

The human body and its many amazing capabilities have long held my interest.  From a young age, I knew I wanted to work in a field centered on healing the body.  My goal at a young age was to become a medical doctor, but over time realized that was not the healing path for me.  I desired a more natural path.  Insert Chiropractic!  My chiropractic journey began in my early teen years following a volleyball injury.  My injury affected my shoulder and made me unable to raise my arm overhead – not great for an outside hitter! After a few visits, my range of motion was back and I was wowed!  Chiropractic for the win!

I attended the University of Minnesota, Morris and obtained a degree in Chemistry with an emphasis in Biochemistry.  I worked for an immunodiagnostic company as a production scientist for one year before entering chiropractic school at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN, earning my chiropractic degree in 2010.  Since graduating, I have also become certified in acupuncture and am a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner.  I became Webster Certified to work on pregnant moms in 2012 and honestly, pregnant moms and young families are some of my favorite patients to work with!  Following graduation, I opened Prairie Winds Wellness in Minneota, MN and was privileged to share the beauty of chiropractic with a variety of ages and conditions for eleven years.  

The beauty of treating a wide array of folks is the benefit of being able to have a highly adaptable treatment style and philosophy.  No two people are the same and the approach to healing them should be in kind!  I love dissecting the issues plaguing patients, working with them so they are able to heal and celebrating positive outcomes!  I believe that by listening to patients and encouraging patients to have an active part in the healing journey, we can get you back to doing what you love as healthfully as possible!

When not in the office, I enjoy playing volleyball, going on adventures with my husband and two boys, motorcycle rides and fishing.  I’m truly excited to meet you and get you back on track to healing and enjoying life!
