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 didn’t choose chiropractic, it chose me! The reason I chose chiropractic is for my migraines. I received care from different doctors in the past, but one adjustment from Dr. Dawn helped me like nothing ever had before! I was in the Exercise Science program at BHSU and asked Dr. Scott if I could intern at their office. They said yes and it was the first step in my journey of actually becoming a chiropractor.

I studied at Parker University in Dallas, TX and am so happy to be back serving the Spearfish community along side my mentors. I grew up on a ranch in western North Dakota with my 3 siblings, parents and grandparents so family is very important to me!

I enjoy the outdoors, the lake, ranch life type activities, and finding a good patio to camp out on. I aspire to be a light around everyone I come into contact with each day. You never know how you can affect someone when you’re kind and caring, sharing God’s love!

Born and raised in a suburb of Philadelphia, I am a city girl at heart! I am a huge Eagles and
Phillies fan and I love the beach, as I spent summers growing up in Ocean City, New Jersey.

Gonstead Chiropractic found me during my time in chiropractic school at Life University, in
Marietta, GA. But the first time Dr. Dawn adjusted me officially convinced me that Gonstead was the right technique for me to learn.

I completed my chiropractic preceptorship at All About Potential before graduating. I then chose to officially stay in Spearfish to practice! My prayer every day is that I use the gifts that God gave me to serve and love people well through specific chiropractic care. Outside of the office, you can find me working out, cooking good food, or playing with my miniature dachshund puppy, Lemon!

I was raised on a ranch in the little “town” of Hammond, MT, which only has a post office and a small country school. I attended school there with my three sisters until 8th grade and then went to high school in Broadus about 30 miles away. After graduating, I attended Sheridan College and received my A.A.S and massage certificate. I had always wanted to live in Spearfish so when God opened up a massage position with Scott and Dawn I was excited to take it. I’ve been on the All About Potential Team since 2015. Being a part of this team has been an incredible blessing from God.

When I’m not serving with my team, I enjoy trying new recipes, singing, reading, meeting with friends, and being outside (when it’s warm of course!). Oh and we can’t forget long walks on the beach. I’m involved a great deal with my church family and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and connecting with the people who come into All About Potential.

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 in a small mountain town in Colorado before moving to my grandparents’ ranch in Wyoming during 7th grade. Nearly five years later, my family and I moved to Spearfish, and I am so grateful to be a part of this community. In 2023, I joined All About Potential as the New Patient Processor under Dr. Scott and Dr. Dawn. It has been incredibly fulfilling to interact with our wonderful patients and spend every day surrounded by such kind people.

I love hanging out with my family, baking, and spending time outdoors trying to wear out my
crazy dog! I believe the Lord has me where I am meant to be, and I am so thankful for all the
blessings he has given me.

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.

I grew up in Sheridan, Wyoming and lived in Spearfish for 25 years. When our children were young, I worked in the Spearfish school district. I enjoyed working with the young children of Spearfish. God led me to a position with All About Potential in 2003.

Through the years I have been fortunate to learn the many positions in our office. I am now the billing specialist. All About Potential has truly been blessed by so many people and as God’s servant it is my honor to serve them in any way I can. I love our team as well as our patients.

Spending time with family is my favorite pastime. I thoroughly enjoy exploring, swimming, hiking and anything that includes our grandchildren as well as spending time at our cabin in the Big Horns.
