Andy was born and raised in the Twin Cities. From a young age, he was immediately drawn to sports and movement of all forms. After high school he attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where he earned his B.S. in Exercise Science with the intention of enrolling into their Doctor of Physical Therapy program. However, a rare opportunity with an exciting Minneapolis-based startup company convinced him to put his grad school plans on hold.
Over the next 5 years Andy would get the opportunity to work directly with some of the world’s top athletes and sports performance companies. It was during this time that he was repeatedly exposed to cutting edge Chiropractors in the sports performance world, and began to see the amazing potential the present day profession had to contribute to mending the current healthcare system. Fueled by his experience, he went on to enroll at Northwestern Health Sciences University. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree in 2017, while attending hundreds of hours of extracurricular courses in Nutrition, Neurology, and Musculoskeletal Therapies.
What started as a natural gravitation towards athletics has now developed into a passionate obsession in helping people to take their health back into their own hands. When he is not focusing on his post-graduate studies in Functional Neurology and Nutrition, he is enjoying life in Uptown, Minneapolis with as much travel, kickboxing, climbing, and outdoors as possible!

Michael is a Minnesota-born-and-trained bodyworker. He completed a 230-hr Yoga Teacher Training in 2016 and a 60-hr Yoga, Bodies, & Touch workshop in 2017 at Your Yoga Uptown. He later attended CenterPoint Massage and Shiatsu School and Clinic where he was trained in eastern Namikoshi Shiatsu and Shiatsu Anma along with western therapeutic myofascial trigger point therapy and classic relaxation massage modalities. Most recently he completed a Thai Yoga Bodywork course which covered the resemblance of the Thai Sen Energy Line System and the Anatomy Trains. His purpose in bodywork is to help people feel comfort in their bodies during everyday activities — whether active or sedentary — through maintenance and recovery massage methods.
Bodywork came into his life through a series of self-assessment stepping stones. Eventually he wanted to deepen his passion for self-care through a yoga teacher training, where he was introduced to self-massage techniques, myofascial meridians, and the basics of bodywork. Shortly after he pursued a degree in massage therapy. There is a clear thread of self-care and self-love woven through his journey, and that is what he hopes to encourage through his therapeutic touch.
Michael plans to continue his bodywork education in structural integration and connective tissue massage therapies. You can find him on any given day enjoying time with his wife Gigi and step-son Myka. In his spare time, he enjoys gardening, bike riding, kayaking, hiking, yoga, and time in nature.
