MEET THE DOCTORS

She was led to chiropractic through a conversation with her father’s chiropractor. This experience led her to research how chiropractic could influence the body. As a result, she decided to pursue chiropractic as the alternative approach to improve one’s quality of life.

While a chiropractic student, she was exposed to various chiropractic techniques. Dr. Natasha was specifically drawn to the technique of the Gonstead method. “This method gives us a specific way to approach each person’s health. Every person is different and experiences pain in various ways. That’s why this analytical process is so important. It allows us to determine the root cause of one’s dysfunction.” She discovered that this method was the most logical approach to helping her patients.

Although she wasn’t drawn to chiropractic through a traumatic event, Dr. Natasha has seen it transform lives. She has seen how chiropractic can help with digestive issues, headaches, dizziness, scoliosis and much more. As a student and former athlete, she discovered that her headaches were not being resolved under traditional medicine. Even some chiropractic approaches were not beneficial.

After being under Gonstead specific chiropractic care, her daily headaches reduced to a few times a week, and eventually went away completely. "It is amazing to me how a poor functioning nervous system can affect a person on a daily basis." Due to her experience with concussions and headaches, she has a desire to help those who have suffered with similar issues. Ultimately, Dr. Natasha's desire is to help her patients get back on their feet and complete the goals they started but have never finished.

Dr. Natasha received her Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science from Bob Jones University and Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Sherman College of Chiropractic. She has spent hundreds of hours studying the Gonstead method and is currently pursuing her Diplomate in the Gonstead Methodology to be able to provide the best care her patients deserve.

Dr. Natasha is a member of:

• Gonstead Clinical Studies Society
• The International Chiropractic Association
• The Christian Chiropractors Association
• International Chiropractic Pediatric Association

When she is not taking care of her patients, Dr. Natasha enjoys spending time outdoors with friends and family, attending and engaging in sporting events, traveling and exploring the cultures of the world.

Since she was a kid, Dr. Kiersten always answered the question of “what do you want to be when you grow up” with “I want to be a doctor and help people”. When she was injured while running in middle school, her mom was seeking answers to help with her pain and took her to the chiropractor for the first time. After consistently seeing a chiropractor, she was participating in sports pain free again, and continued seeing a chiropractor throughout middle school and high school. She was drawn to the holistic approach to health that chiropractic offered, and started to consider it as a career toward the end of high school. In her junior year of college, Dr. Kiersten made the decision to go to chiropractic school after seeing a chiropractor who helped her realize that chiropractic is so much more than just pain relief.

After graduating from the University of Iowa with a degree in Health and Human Physiology, Dr. Kiersten attended Palmer College of Chiropractic. While at Palmer, Dr. Kiersten was invited to a weekend workshop by a friend, where she was introduced to the Gonstead System. Dr. Kiersten was drawn to learning the system after this workshop and attended her first seminar with Gonstead Methodology Institute (GMI) shortly after. At this seminar she saw the dedication all the doctors had to teaching, to supporting each other, to helping their patients get better with the best care possible & to learning, no matter how long they had been in practice. For the remaining time she had in school, Dr. Kiersten attended seminars, workshops, and weekend classes to learn all she could about the Gonstead System to best care for her future patients.

Dr. Kiersten believes that the Lord called her to be a chiropractor, and she loves that she has the opportunity to serve the community here in Minnesota. She views it as such a blessing to help people realize their bodies are divinely designed by the Lord and help give them hope in their healing.

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys quality time with her husband and dogs, attending sporting events, indulging in movie marathons, and exploring Minnesota's natural beauty!

Dr. Kiersten is a member of the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society.
