Family - Focused

Growing up on a farm in southwest ND and following my dad around, I knew at an early age that I wanted to be my own boss. So, when I was 15, I decided since I liked science, working with people and wanted to be self-employed, I was going to be a chiropractor. I went to Dickinson State University for undergraduate work and attended Palmer College of Chiropractic, the Fountainhead of Chiropractic.  Palmer is where I specialized in chiropractic and also where I met my beautiful wife and partner, Dr. Dawn. We have four amazing children and enjoy being active outside with them.

I believe my purpose is to be a faithful optimistic leader who helps establish solid foundations of love, compassion, health and wellness. Doing this will enable me to promote healthy teams and families; and chiropractic is a great expression of who I am and what I love to do!

Like I tell our son often; we get to put smiles on people’s faces everyday.

I am a small town girl with a big vision!  I was raised in Hemingford, Nebraska and attended Chadron State College and completed my undergraduate and received a Bachelor’s in Human Biology.  I went on to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2000.

Together with my husband, Dr. Scott, we own a wonderful Gonstead Chiropractic practice. At All About Potential we love to see families.  It is our priority to make sure everyone understands the importance of a fully functioning Nervous System.  We also want our patients to enjoy life so with a little education, a little more compassion and a whole lot of love we help patients to reach their maximum potential.

Not only am I a wife and Chiropractor, but I am also a mother of four awesome children.  We have a lot of fun and our family is definitely, our priority.

I grew up in Dickinson, ND and moved to Spearfish in 1991 to attend Black Hills State University. I graduated with a BA in Elementary/Early Childhood Education and spent the next 23 years teaching or working with children in different settings. I’ve always loved working with kids but after much prayer, I felt God was leading me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. I joined the All About Potential team in June of 2019 as a front desk assistant. I love the team I work with and greeting our patients with a smile as they walk through our doors. When I’m not behind the front desk, I enjoy spending time with my family, volunteer work with children, family vacations, hiking, and snow skiing.

I grew up a coal miners daughter in Gillette Wyoming. After graduating high school I went on to study massage therapy. I graduated from Headlines Academy School of Massage Therarpy in 2008. I worked in Deadwood for a short period of time before finding an amazing opportunity to work for Scott and Dawn. I started working here in January of 2009, and have loved every moment since then! I have some of the BEST patients in the world!

I have been married to my loving husband Nathan since 2013, and we have 3 amazing children together. We love spending time with family and friends. We love to cook, play games, hike, and go geocaching. We also love to serve at our church on Sundays. I feel so blessed to be a part of this team!

I was born and raised in Lancaster, Ohio. I attended Miami University of Ohio for undergrad in environmental sciences and then became a wildland firefighter. The arduous mental and physical activity of wildland firefighting created constant cumulative fatigue and stress. I found that massage alleviated the physical aches and pains but also reduced stress. After 10 years of protecting family homes and lands from the massive wildfires, I recognized the need to take care of the body that we are given. I attended Paul Mitchell the School of Rapid City for massage therapy and joined the All About Potential team in summer of 2022. I’m passionate about facilitating the body’s natural healing process to promote optimal health and peak performance.

When out of the office you can find me outside adventuring or enjoying a good meal. I love to travel all over the world that we have been blessed with and experience the abundance of cultures. I believe that every one of us has a story to share and it brings me joy to learn something from every single person.
