My arrival on earth came with its own set of challenges. Before my birth, four of my siblings did not stay for various reasons, yet my parents still longed for a child. My birth was tumultuous, to say the least. I stopped breathing, experienced multiple seizures daily, and spent my first week in the NICU. Doctors diagnosed me with Cerebral Palsy and suggested brain surgery to stop the seizures.

But at just four months old, my parents drove over six hours for my first chiropractic adjustment—a moment that completely altered the trajectory of my life. From that point forward, I lived like a normal child, unaware of my CP diagnosis. Yet I carried a profound lesson: sometimes the most powerful healing comes from those who think beyond convention.

I later attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources. Yet after gaining experience in the field, I felt profoundly unfulfilled. I was drawn back to my true passion—the same force that saved my life as an infant. I pursued my Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer University in Davenport, IA, but this time with a deeper understanding: healing is a bridge between worlds.

I have always held a core belief: our thoughts (mind) influence our physical bodies, and our heart (spirit) knows the way. In my practice, I integrate this philosophy by addressing innate intelligence, emotional states, and the physical actions that support or disrupt the body's natural balance. I specialize in low-force chiropractic techniques, incorporating Applied Kinesiology and intuitive guidance, connecting with Creator to develop deeply personalized care plans.

Through my personal healing journey, I have witnessed firsthand how inner child work and deep emotional healing transform the mind, emotions, and physical body. My experiences include overcoming abuse in all forms—sexual, verbal, and physical—as well as navigating the impacts of addiction within my family. Though my parents were married for nearly 40 years, attended church, and provided a stable middle-class life, I later came to understand neurodivergence and how it shaped my experiences.

This is why I understand my patients so deeply. I've walked the dark valleys. I know that healing is possible. And I know that you deserve a physician who meets you there with compassion, science, and unwavering belief in your capacity to transform.

When I'm not working on self-improvement or refining my intuitive abilities, I find peace in nature—hiking, walking, enjoying campfires, taking long drives, and traveling. I also cherish meditation, prayer, watching faith-based movies, learning about other cultures, and marveling at the moon and stars. These moments anchor me and remind me why we heal: to live fully, authentically, and in awe of this precious existence.
