Our mission is to help people get moving better, feeling better and living better through high performance chiropractic care, rehabilitation, sports injury care, and perinatal and postpartum recovery.  Our on-site fitenss studio also offers private personal training, strength and conditioning, and group training opportunities!

Faith and family are the most important pieces of our lives.  We enjoy life in Lincoln, NE with our two daughters, Lucy and Myriel, who attend Lincoln Christian, and two dogs, Pip, a chihuahua mix, and Bella, a Bernie doodle.  We spend most of our free time with family, cooking together as a family, attending our daughters' sporting events, serving in ministry, and spending as much time outdoors as possible.  We have a deep love of staying active and nature, especially the mountains, so if we get a long weekend, you'll find the us on a hiking trail!

Her chiropractic story:


“As a child, I struggled with health. I had severe allergies, which developed into asthma.  I also had an immune system that couldn’t cope with common illnesses.  I was constantly on antibiotics as I would contract Strep throat multiple times per year.  By the time I was a teen, my digestive tract was a wreck and I had to plan my social life around my health issues. This was no way to live.  In addition to my chronic issues, I also sustained a neck injury during my athletic career that led me to my first chiropractic appointment.   My chiropractor changed my life.  He was the first doctor to take the time to educate and empowered me to take my health into my own hands.  I then began my path to becoming a chiropractor, restoring my health and thriving at life!"

His chiropractic story:


“I was raised the son of a medical doctor and pharmacist by education.  Throughout my childhood and young adult life, I didn’t even know what a chiropractor was.  When I was in high school, I was a wrestler at the 103 weight bracket.  Needless to say, I had to “make weight” and was underdeveloped and unhealthy.  While in a wrestling match, I injured my neck and lost all the strength in my right arm.  Normal activities were no longer the norm.  I was unable to raise my arm, do a pushup or get ready in the mornings.  Over time, my symptoms improved, but I continued to have neck pain and headaches.  Fast forward to after high school, I worked as a bus boy at the local country club and sustained a low back lifting injury while busing tables.  From that point on, my life was changed, I could no longer bend like normal.  Washing my feet in the shower, bending over the sink to spit my toothpaste, sneezing, and twisting the wrong way would all elicit extreme pain.  My life was altered permanently….until I met my first chiropractor.  At the age of 29, I stood in line to talk to my first chiropractor for an hour at a bike expo in Chicago.  I then scheduled my first appointment, started my corrective program and by the end of the year, I was enrolled in chiropractic school.  Chiropractic has changed my life and its my life mission to give other people this incredible gift of a better life”
