Meet the Team at Lifestyle Chiropractic & Wellness

Dr. Andrew Newman, Chiropractor

A native of Waconia, MN, Dr. Andrew was a multi-sport athlete in addition to being active in his school’s music program. Although he received chiropractic care throughout his athletic career, he didn’t initially consider it a career choice.

After exploring other options, Dr. Andrew remembered how much he enjoyed his chiropractic adjustments. He took a leap of faith and applied to Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN. He graduated with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2016.

In addition, he is a certified extremity practitioner and is certified in FMS functional taping.

Melissa, Licensed Massage Therapist

Melissa graduated from Sister Rosalind’s Massage and Bodywork in 2005. She is nationally certified and continues to earn CEU’s. Melissa integrates different modalities in each of her massages since every body is different and responds differently as well. Techniques used to help relax, restore and heal may include DNM (dermo-neuro modulation), Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Swedish, myofascial, sports, etc. Melissa also does pregnancy massages.

Her belief is that in massage, pain is not gain. It’s very important to breathe comfortably to gain the most benefit, so some people may find that deep tissue isn’t for them or suffering through painful moments during massage isn’t necessary. Melissa wants the best outcome and long lasting results for her clients. She enjoys getting to know her clients and being able to make a positive difference in their lives.
