A native of Madison, Colleen returned in 2004 to raise her family, and in 2005 she opened Innergy, LLC, now located n the Quarry Arts Building.  She graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 1993 with a B. S. in Corporate Fitness Science and Athletic Training.  She played basketball all four years and was the starting point guard on the 1991 NCAA Championship team. In addition, she served as a student athletic trainer for football, soccer, baseball and track and field.  Her athletic background brings a unique perspective to athletic performance, balance and well being.  Recently, Colleen co-founded Mindfulness for Athletes with her colleague, Dr. Kristine Eiring.  For the current class schedule, please click on Upcoming Events.

Colleen attended Northwestern College of Chiropractic from 1993-1997.  Upon graduation, she co-founded a practice in St. Paul, Minnesota where they practiced for five years.  Upon the birth of her second child, Colleen decided to practice out of her home in order to be with her children.

Colleen has experience two starkly contrasting birthing experiences her first daughter was breech and born via cesarean section.  Her second daughter was born in a birthing tub at home with the assistance of a midwife.  These experiences have helped to shape her practice, which includes many mothers, expectant mothers and children.  At the request of friends and clients, she has provided her labor support for over a dozen births.  Part of the assistance provided includes adjusting the mother during labor and post partum as well as adjusting the baby during the first hour of life outside the womb.

Colleen’s practice incorporates principles of gentle chiropractic and craniosacral techniques, including light touch energy work.  Essentially, she works with the body’s innate wisdom by helping remove interferences of the nerve system.   Removal of this interference brings balane and harmony to the mind, body and spirit.
