I am a chiropractor, mom, wife, and daughter. I graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University and opened Family First Chiropractic & Wellness Center in 2009. My passion for family care, pregnancy and pediatrics and working with kids started when I was young. I grew up in an in-home daycare, and have been around kids for what feels like my entire life. I didn’t decide to specialize in pediatrics and prenatal care until my trip to New Zealand in 2007. While I was there, I studied and worked with children and pregnant moms that often had significant health challenges and saw them get healthy through chiropractic care. That experience led me back to Minnesota to continue my education and specialization in pediatrics, prenatal, and family care. I received my pediatric specialization training (CACCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (www.icpa4kids.org) and continually expand my knowledge every year on how to help babies/children and pregnant moms.
After my husband Jay and I got married, we moved to Vadnais Heights and moved Family First Chiropractic and Wellness Center to White Bear Lake in January of 2014. We are blessed with three amazing kids and our beloved Goldendoodle named Ginger.
When I’m not at the office, I love being with my family, spending time outside, yoga, running, traveling, and a good cup of coffee!
