Meet the Women Behind
Wellhouse Chiropractic

For my entire life, I’ve known that God designed me to help people. During my undergraduate education at Hamline University, I planned on becoming a Physical Therapist (PT) after completing my degrees in Biology and Psychology. However, my life took a different direction when I was injured as a collegiate athlete, and my coach recommended that I see a chiropractor. From that point on, I was blown away by the world of chiropractic care. Just a couple of months before I was supposed to start PT school, I made a last-minute change and enrolled at Northwestern Health Sciences University to pursue my Doctorate of Chiropractic instead!

I graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern in 2014 with a passion for serving families, children, and pregnant mothers! I am constantly learning and growing through continuing education to provide the best care possible for our patients. I am Webster certified and have become a specialist in pediatric and prenatal chiropractic through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Epic Pediatrics, and the Pediatric Experience. My passion is to help families live a lifestyle of wholeness and health, free from medications and surgeries.

I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart, Zach, since 2014. We had our son, ZJ, in 2017 and our daughter, Palmer, in 2021. We also have a red Labrador named Jaxon! We absolutely love traveling and exploring the world with our family and friends.

I was born in Malaysia and spent my early years between Malaysia and Singapore. I always had a strong interest in science and a passion for helping others, which guided me toward a career in healthcare. My introduction to chiropractic care came when my father suffered a severe tailbone injury, and I witnessed his remarkable recovery through chiropractic adjustments. This experience inspired me to move to the United States at 18 years old to pursue my chiropractic education.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University. During my studies, I developed a deep passion for caring for pregnant women, infants, and children, which led me to specialize in perinatal care. I’m Webster certified and continue my education through the ICPA and Pediatric Experience, embracing a natural, holistic approach to health that supports the body’s innate ability to heal and restore balance. In 2019, I married my college biology lab partner, Steven. We welcomed our first son, Jordan, in 2020 and our second son, Harrison, in 2023. Our little family keeps me busy but in my free time, I enjoy staying active, cooking, and spending quality time with loved ones.

I grew up in Duluth, where my journey into chiropractic care began early, inspired by my dad’s experience. I vividly remember watching him struggle with severe lower back pain and feeling helpless – until chiropractic adjustments brought him lasting relief and restored his quality of life. That transformation sparked a curiosity in me that evolved into a lifelong passion for helping others heal naturally.

During college, I worked at the front desk of a chiropractic clinic, where I saw firsthand how chiropractic care could truly change lives. I watched children, pregnant moms, and entire families not only find relief from pain but also achieve better health and wellness. This experience was eye-opening, and I knew I wanted to be part of that impact.

I graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern Health Sciences University and have been a practicing chiropractor since 2009. I am Webster certified and have specialized training in pediatrics and perinatal care through ICPA, EPIC Pediatrics, and the Pediatric Experience. I’m passionate about providing gentle, effective care for kids, expectant mothers, and families, helping their bodies do what they’re meant to do: heal and thrive.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Joe, our three kids, and our golden doodle. I love to travel, read, and recharge with hot yoga.

Born and raised in Alaska, I ventured to Minnesota for college, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training from Bethel University. It was there that I met my husband, Colton—who also happens to be Dr. Rachel’s cousin! We got married in June 2021, and welcomed our daughter, Jo, in January 2025.

After being introduced to chiropractic care through Dr. Rachel, I quickly discovered how essential it is for maintaining nervous system health, preventing illness, and promoting long-term wellness. I had never visited a chiropractor before, and now I often wonder how different my own health might have been had I been adjusted since birth!

In addition to my work at Wellhouse Chiropractic, I am also a part-time athletic trainer for Twin Cities Orthopedics, covering high school sports events when I am able. I have a growing passion for chiropractic that I cannot wait to share with you as you get started on your journey to better health!
