Thank you for all the support throughout the years. We are honored to be able to serve the community and humbled to be voted Ankeny's Best for 2021!. After receiving extensive training in prenatal and pediatric care through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association), one of Dr. Jennifer's greatest passions is to help women and children.
Dr. Jennifer always wanted to be a chiropractor since sixth grade when doing an exploratory project "what do you want to be when you grow up?" After shadowing professionals in the community, she just knew she wanted to serve and help people through chiropractic care.

I wanted to be a chiropractor since sixth grade, after completing a project, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" After graduating from Kuemper High School I completed my undergraduate studies at Central College in Pella, Iowa. While attending classes there I also played varsity tennis all four years and studied abroad in London, UK.
Our mission is to restore and maintain the health of as many individuals as possible. We do this by addressing the root cause of your health concerns (not simply masking the symptoms). We provide personalized chiropractic care that is safe and gentle enough for newborn babies, and effective enough for even the most complex cases.
Chiropractic locates and removes a severe form of spine and nerve stress, a condition that puts pressure on nerves, unbalances your body, lowers your resistance to disease and weakens you: the vertebral subluxation complex. It may occur in infancy from a difficult birth or from childhood falls.
Later in life, emotional tension or stress can gradually damage your spine or violent injuries from automobile accidents or sports can suddenly knock you "out of whack".Nearly everyone eventually gets spinal nerve stress. It is a "hidden epidemic" and it is for that reason that we all need to have our spines checked for this condition by a doctor of chiropractic every once in a while, just as we get our eyes, teeth and blood pressure checked.

Right after delivering my youngest daughter and starting to nurse her something just wasn’t right. But I thought it was just because she was a newborn and we both needed to figure it out. I never said anything to Jen. When we got there for her first adjustment the first thing she said was how has her latch been? I told her not great she adjusted her and it has been good since!!!
My oldest had ear infection after ear infection until we started to go get adjusted regularly. My youngest has never had one 🙌🏼
I can’t say enough nice things about Dr Jen. Hannah and Lindsey. They are truly

Dr. Jennifer is amazing! She was able to get my chronic lower back pain under control and knows just what to do when I have a flare-up to keep it from turning into an ongoing issue. I saw her for the last 2 of my pregnancies and my body has never felt better! She has seen my kiddos at various ages and stages and has helped them with everything from growing pains to tummy troubles to nursing/latch issues and colic. We are so thankful for Dr. Jennifer and her lovely staff!

I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Dr Jennifer, Hannah and Lindsey! My husband and I started coming to see Dr Jennifer when we started trying to have out first baby. We had seen other chiropractors before but no one compares to Dr Jennifer. She is so caring, energetic, and beyond knowledgeable. She truly took the time to get to know my body and what we were stacked up against. She did her own research on what areas to really focus on for my body personally and really took the time to make sure we were getting the proper care as well as giving the best advice as we continued trying for

Dr. Jen and her team are wonderful! I have seen many different chiropractors since a sports injury in high school, throughout my college sports career and during pregnancy and postpartum stage of life. Every chiropractor has a different "style" and I have seen the entire spectrum from those who aggressively adjust everything (ouch! and a little nerve racking) to the chiropractors who will only make 1-2 small adjustments each visit (expensive and not effective when you are still leaving in pain each visit). I would say Dr. Jen has been the perfect balance of having a gentle yet thorough approach

We’ve been seeing Dr. Jennifer for over 7 years. She’s extremely knowledgeable and kind. Her technique is gentle manipulation and her results are amazing. She started working with our kids as babies and they’ve had very healthy childhoods. I like how she adds acupuncture and acupressure to her treatment regimen when she deems it appropriate. I have scoliosis secondary to childhood cancer and she has significantly improved the curve in my spine. We’d be absolutely lost without her. Dr. Jennifer is a true gem of a person, she’s insanely talented, her team is phenomenal and kind, and we

Dr Jennifer and her staff, Hannah and Lindsey, are the best in chiropractic care. I have been going here since 2012. They are very professional yet caring, thoughtful and kind. Dr Jennifer goes the extra mile in caring for her patients. When I had an unusual issue, she researched and consulted another professional to give me the best treatment and solution possible. She has a very busy practice but strives to give everyone the best care possible and her staff does as well. They are also helpful, caring and kind and make the time to answer any questions that arise. I have referred many of my friends

Bizarre circumstances led me to Dr. Jennifer's office, but her engaging personality, reassuring smile, the depth of knowledge in her eyes, and her gentle but skillful hands told me this person was completely different from any other doctor or chiropractor I had ever known before. Her understanding of absolutely every facet of the body and the inter-connectedness of it all is nothing less than astounding. I frequently tease Dr. Jennifer about giving her "quizzes and homework," but honestly, my body hasn't been able to stump her yet.
The office assistants are just as capable as Dr. Jennifer. Hannah

Dr. Jen and her staff have worked wonders on my back. From friendly to data driven, this is a great stop for anyone young to old. I appreciate getting the text reminders about my upcoming appointments, my very short wait times. and the smiling faces that always greet me at the door. After several appointments I can say for certain that Dr. Jen cares about her patients and wants to ensure they lead the most productive and pain free life. I am not sure what I, or my back, would do with out her and her staff!

I started coming to Natural Health about 7 years ago, while I was pregnant, and have taken my boys monthly since they were newborns. She has the most gentle touch and my kids LOVE getting adjusted. They call her "the fixer" because they always feel so much better when we go. ❤ She has helped me tremendously with a lot of issues as well. Dr. Jennifer, Hannah and Lindsey are so accommodating and sweet. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for our care. Thanks ladies, for all that you do!! You are all amazing!!

I have had chronic back pain since my teenage years & I’ve been through several chiropractors. She is the first one to ever make it so I don’t have daily pain. I do have the occasional flare up & she is able to fix me within days instead of weeks like others. She’s truly changed my quality of life! She also treats my son with multiple health needs and is so patient & kind. Can not rave about her enough.
