Krista Burkel -Chiropractic Assistant and Patient Care Specialist

I have worked for Dr. Behnam as a Chiropractic Assistant since June of 2010. My two children are Evan (18) and Jack (14). Evan is a freshman at St. Cloud State University and Jack is in 8th grade at Red Wing High School. They are both active in hockey and benefit from regular adjustments with Dr. Behnam.

I am a full time student at Ashford University obtaining my bachelors degree in Sports and Recreation Management. I have a background in Fitness, especially Pilates, photography, and spending time with my two amazing boys. With my active lifestyle, I truly believe that chiropractic can replace traditional methods of healthcare. I look forward to meeting you and educating you about Chiropractic.

Kathy Behnam -Billing Specialist

I am a Chiropractic Assistant at River Valley Chiropractic. I have worked here part-time for almost 3 years. My main responsibility is working with insurance but I jump in and help out where needed. If you have questions about your insurance I am the one to ask.

I am a retired Registered Nurse since 2007 and moved down to Red Wing to be closer to my son (Dr. Behnam) and his family. I love the Red Wing area and being able to see my grandchildren all the time.

After being a nurse for so man years I can truly appreciate the benefits of chiropractic in all areas of health. It's such a healthier choice and lifestyle!

River Valley Chiropractic is a wonderful resource center for health and wellness and Dr. Behnam is a great Chiropractor.

Missy Hoffman - Massage Therapist and Chiropractic Assistant

I have worked for Dr. Behnam since July of 2010. I am a part-time Chiropractic Assistant. I help out with the new patient consultations, progress evaluations, and fill in where needed in the office. I have a degree in Massage Therapy and a background in using essential oils. I have been a Certified Massage Therapist for 5 years and also have my practice at River Valley Chiropractic. I also just received my Equine Massage Certification in July 2011.

I love learning about aromatherapy and Young Living Essential Oils. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I own five horses, love to trail ride and train horses. I love spending as much time outside as possible and riding horse takes a toll on your body so over the years I have gotten a huge benefit from getting regular adjustments and making sure my nervous system is functioning at it's full potential.

Dr. Behnam has helped me out so much since I started working here. I can't wait to help you on your path to a better wellness lifestyle and look forward to seeing you in the office.

Brooke O'Brien -Massage Therapist

I started working for Dr. Behnam November of 2008. I was experiencing numbness in my hands and allot of times didn’t have any feeling. After just 2 adjustments my hands were back to normal and I was so impressed with Dr. Behnam toughness that I couldn’t wait to learn more. As I moved from a patient to co-worker I have enjoyed learning from Dr. Behnam’s vast knowledge of the body and its systems. After completing my massage certification in 2007 I got certified for equine and canine massage. I was also given a scholarship from my school in AZ to participate in the teacher training program witch greatly improved my massage work and education.

An avid lover of the out doors I participate in rock climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding and pretty much any type fun under the sun. I will try any thing once. I have 20 years experience in horse training and compete at horse shows with my horses and the horses I have in training.

I feel so blessed to be part of such a strong team. I enjoy every one here at River Valley Chiropractic and feel like they are not just co-workers but we are all part of this Big family who’s goals are all very similar; Help people to the best of our ability. As we say at work, Be well, Do well…And Keep in touch!

Ashley Fedie-Personal Trainer and Nutrition Specialist

I am the Personal Trainer for River Valley Chiropractic, encouraging people to get into shape and live a healthy lifestyle. I live in Wisconsin, about 45 minutes from Red Wing. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Sport Science - Fitness and Nutrition. I have been active all of my life playing sports while I was in school and now I enjoy running and working out regularly. I am passionate about helping people lead an active healthy lifestyle and I truly believe that it is very important to find mental, physical, and emotional health and wellness. This includes exercising on a daily basis, eating healthy, and meditating or praying. Another aspect to achieve total wellness is through chiropractic. After studying exercise and nutrition for 5 years I have found that is it much more beneficial to prevent illnesses and problems with the body before they even start, rather than just treating symptoms as they come, which is the great thing about chiropractic. I have received chiropractic care in the past and have recently started receiving regular chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Behnam and I can feel the benefits. Chiropractic adjustments are an integral part of complete health and wellness.

I look forward to working with you and helping you to become a stronger, healthier, happier you!
