$29 Back Pain Exam + X-Ray

Hello! I’m, Dr. Julie, the chiropractor and owner at HealthSource of Hopkins. 

I grew up in Houghton, Michigan where I attended Michigan Tech before moving to the Twin Cities area.  I graduated from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Bloomington, Minnesota.  While attending, I earned additional certificates in Activator adjusting, Webster technique for pregnant women, extremity adjusting techniques, and cupping therapy. 

My passion in chiropractic roots from junior year of high school. I remember my softball teammates taking six ibuprofen at once to rid their headache before practice each day – taking less just didn’t work for them anymore! I too suffered from headaches but hated the idea of becoming dependent on a drug. I wanted to learn why people got headaches and what could be done to prevent them, rather than masking the symptoms. That’s when I discovered chiropractic.

Every day I get to show people how great they can feel without their low back aches, tight shoulders, migraines, tension headaches, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, scoliosis pain, shoulder impingement, rib pain, arthritis pain - the list goes on!  But chiropractic care has brought so much more than just pain relief- it enables people to do what they love.

Besides helping patients, my passions include spending time with my family and my husband Sam, raising our two dogs Rosie & Loki, and exploring Minnesota.

Hello HealthSource of Hopkins patients, my name is Kimberly and I am so excited to be here! I spent the first half of my career thus far working in the fields of Mental Health and Social Services. During a yoga retreat in Costa Rica several years ago I discovered my next path in life and decided to go back to school to become a Certified Holistic Health Coach. Health and wellness, specifically the holistic approach, has been a personal priority of mine for many moons and transitioning to this professional path was both a natural and welcome change for me. Dr. Julie’s approach to determining the root cause of patients’ ailments and treating the whole body to alleviate those ailments, rather than simply slapping a band-aid on the problem, made it easy for me to say “yes” when she offered me a spot on her team!

I have been an athlete most of my life, from my various sports in middle and high school to track & field in college to a co-ed soccer league in my 20’s to my 18 years of yoga practice to my slight obsession with Orange Theory Fitness. I’m a firm believer in “use it or lose it” and find true joy in helping people stay physically active and healthy for the entirety of their lives.

When I’m not working alongside the fabulous team here, I enjoy spending as much time as possible out in nature with my husband and our two rescue pups. My favorite pastimes include hiking, gardening, practicing yoga, kayaking, traveling, live music, cooking, and curling up with a good book. I am extremely passionate about protecting and preserving our beautiful planet, sustainable farming and business practices, and supporting local whenever possible. Last but not least, I share two beautiful stepdaughters with my husband and one adorable little granddaughter who lights up every room she enters!
