Meet the Family Chiropractic Center Team
Get to Know Us
Van, Acupuncturist
Van has a master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and is certified by the NCCAOM® as Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. She is also licensed by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice and has been practicing since 2016. Her passion is to help her patients find relief from their health issues, mentally and physically through her gentle needling style of acupuncture, together with electrical stimulation, fire cuppings, gua sha, tuina bodywork and other forms of healing modalities. She also uses magnets in place of needles to stimulate the acupuncture points for those who are apprehensive about needles.
Van believes that the body has an innate intelligence to heal itself when given the right internal and external environment to do so. When we relax the body and center our mind to a state that is free from the extremes of emotions and thoughts, this healing power is free to flow wherever it needs to go to bring the body back to a balanced state and healing can optimally occur. Van has experience treating a variety of health conditions.
She loves to read and spend time in nature.
Heidi, Clinic Director
Heidi comes to us with a high level of expertise in the service industry, making her the perfect addition to the Family Chiropractic Center team. Heidi has seen the power of chiropractic in action both through her own experience with chronic stress and tension, as well as through her family members’ chronic pain. Before finding her home here at Family Chiropractic Center, Heidi lived in Seattle and managed a private salon for over a decade.
Outside of our warm and friendly office, Heidi enjoys soaking in the activities associated with all four of Minnesota’s seasons. She enjoys these activities with her husband (Tony) and their four kids. When not outside enjoying what Minnesota has to offer, nothing is more appealing to her than cuddling up on the couch for a family movie night. Heidi looks forward to assisting you and your family during your next visit.
Angela, Chiropractic Assistant
Angela has been working as a Chiropractic Assistant since March of 2017. Chiropractic has been in her life for only the past 20 years, but she wishes she knew the benefits long before as she struggled with anxiety and hormone issues along with neck and back pains growing up. Prior to finding her passion, Angela dabbled in Real Estate, Party Planning, Graphic Design, Apparel Design and even authoring gluten free cookbooks. She also created Wellness Journals and Baby Journals that are currently for sale on Amazon.
When she’s not at work, Angela enjoys hiking with her husband (Troy), two kids (Alison and Grace) and her dogs (Senna & Zoya). She also enjoys gardening, cooking, restoring statues, painting and just hanging out in nature.
Megan, Chiropractic Assistant
Megan joins the Family Chiropractic Center team, having been a patient first. After years of being plagued by chronic migraines multiple times per week, her life was changed when chiropractic cut them out almost entirely! Having an interest in the health care industry, Megan decided to share her passion and her story of the life-giving power of chiropractic by joining us here at the clinic.
You can find her outside of our clinic cruising around the south metro in Jenny, her Jeep Wrangler, with her husband and son. As well as exploring local dog parks with her Chocolate Lab, Kenny.
Megan, Massage Therapist
Megan earned her Massage Therapy Degree from MN School of Business in 2002. She specializes in Swedish, Prenatal and Deep Tissue Massage, as well as add-on’s like Graston and Hot Stones – all of which allow her to do what she loves: helping patients along their healing journey. Outside of Family Chiropractic Center, Megan is very involved with her church and spends much of her time homeschooling her four children.
Kao, Massage Therapist
Kao has been in the massage field for a little over 10 years and has always been passionate to help those in need. He specializes in a variety of modalities such as Deep tissue, Swedish, Thai, Shiatsu, trigger point therapy, stretch therapy and reflexology. Outside of the massage world, Kao volunteers for NorthPoint Food Shelf, Safe Hands, Secondhand Hounds and is really involved in assisting and helping out his Hmong Community. One of the small things he loves to do on the side is cooking for his friends, family and loved ones and his paw friends. Overall, his favorite quote is “You only have one body, so take good care of it and it will take good care of you”.
Morgan, Massage Therapist
Morgan started practicing massage therapy in 2023, but has had an interest in massage therapy from an early age. She took an extended backpacking trip to SE Asia. There she experienced many massages, which gave her a newfound appreciation for massage therapy. Currently in her work, she enjoys working together with clients to help relieve their pain using pain-free modalities.
In her free time, Morgan volunteers at her church, studies Bible prophecy, loves to hike, travel, and spend time with family and friends. She loves to learn about foods that can heal the body and prevent illness.
