Dr. Amy is a second-generation chiropractor originally from Brookings, South Dakota. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from South Dakota State University and Doctorate of Chiropractic with Sports Emphasis Honors from Northwestern Health Sciences University.
Since entering practice, she has felt increasingly called to care for women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood. Pregnancy is such a sacred season, and Dr. Amy is passionate about helping women feel supported, confident, and empowered in what God created their bodies to do. She believes He designed the body with incredible purpose and intelligence, and her role is to help create the best possible environment for both mom and baby as they prepare for birth.
Dr. Amy is Perinatal and Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), with additional training and experience in pediatric chiropractic care. Her approach during pregnancy focuses on gentle, individualized care that supports pelvic and sacral balance, healthy movement and function, and an optimal environment for baby to grow and move throughout pregnancy.
One of the greatest joys in her practice is walking alongside a mom throughout her pregnancy and then hearing about a smooth, positive birth experience after months of consistent care. It is incredibly rewarding to know she was able to play a small role in helping her body prepare for that moment. Her care also continues into the postpartum season, helping moms restore function, feel more comfortable in their bodies, and navigate the physical demands of healing and caring for a newborn. With her additional pediatric training, She also enjoys caring for babies and children as families transition into this next season together.
Outside of professional life, Dr. Amy enjoys spending time with her husband, Zeke, family and friends, traveling, and participating in her church community.
