I grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa which is part of the Quad Cities, ironically also the birthplace of Chiropractic. I’ve been under care since birth and being well adjusted is part of my life! I received my first adjustment from my Uncle who inspired me to take on Chiropractic as a career. Being under consistent care provided many benefits during a very active childhood that continued on as a multi sport athlete.

I eat, breathe, and live the motto we stand on at Core - Move with PURPOSE. We have three high energy little girls, Mila (9) , Shay (7) and Pippa (3). In my spare time I enjoy as much time with my girls as possible, working out, podcasts/books, golfing, cooking, and exploring new restaurants.

Now, as a mom of three, I know that whether it’s athletics, pregnancy, babies/ kids, and beyond, the unique possibilities chiropractic can offer are endless.

Born and raised in the small town of Emo, Ontario, Canada, I grew up a competitive, multi-sport athlete, with hockey & soccer consuming most of my athletic career. After graduating high school, I pursued a Bachelor of Kinesiology at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario. During my time there, I became certified though the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology and worked as a Personal Trainer until graduation. Chiropractic and personal training have proven to be a potent combination and allowed me to integrate my love for movement into patient care. I also focus on the mind-body connection in my care, helping patients understand how emotions influence movement and pain.

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I have always had a hard time sitting still. Whether its reading, learning, exercising, cooking or being outdoors, I like to keep my body & mind in motion. I’m constantly working to learn more, do more, and be more so that I can better serve my patients & the people in my life. Helping people is my passion, and through chiropractic, my passion has become my career. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to positively impact lives each and every day

About Me -

I was born in Hayfield, MN as the oldest of 4 siblings to parents who are both teachers. My younger years were all learn and play; with play including high school sports of football, basketball and baseball, with football continuing in college. The accumulation of sports trauma eventually lead me to a local chiropractor, which helped me to resolve injury and perform at a high level.

My parents always thought that one of the kids would be in education. Even though I never thought of myself being an educator in the classic sense, I find that a lot of my current practice involves teaching. My goal on each visit is to address what ails you, have you feeling and performing better; and also learning about what is giving you trouble and how to keep it from happening again.

Today, I continue my movement practice by chasing around our two-year old son and our chocolate lab ‘Louie’, by being in the weight room and by playing various sports. In my free time you can find me in the in the kitchen trying to replicate a family recipe.
