Meet Our Team

Heather Hertaus

Hi! I am Heather Hertaus; I am a Front Office Coordinator for Bodywise Chiropractic Center.  I am currently enrolled in a Chiropractic Assistant certification program, and will be graduating this summer.  I  received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Applied Sociology, with a Psychology minor, from St. Cloud State University in 2001, and graduated Summa Cum Laude.  I also have an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts from North Hennepin Community College.  I married to my husband, Ron, and we have a young son, Jonah.   I love to read,  travel, play with my son, visit with friends, and watch "American Idol"!

I have worked with Bodywise Chiropractic Center since 2004, and had worked at another chiropractic clinic for 3 years previously.  I firmly believe regular chiropractic adjustments helped me to have an easier labor and delivery with my son, and regular adjustments have helped Jonah to have an incredibly healthy childhood so far.  I love my career, I love working with people, and I especially love seeing the difference chiropractic has made for so many of our patients.  I look forward to meeting new people and helping my current patients on their journey to wellness!

Kate Wenzel

Hello! Iʼm the newest to join the team! My name is Kate Wenzel and I am a Front Office Coordinator for Bodywise Chiropractic! I am a certified Chiropractic Assistant and have a degree in Business Management and Technology from the University of Wisconsin. Although Iʼve been in Wisconsin the last few years, I am originally from the Twin Cities and am glad to be back! My husband and I were married in May 2007 and are truly blessed! Jeremy will be teaching and coaching at Princeton High School and we just recently became first time home owners! I am passionate about caring for people and helping them reach their full potential in all areas of life. I love being a part of this field because it deals with the whole person- physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Outside of the office I enjoy photography, writing, hiking, reading and most recently, making our new house a home for us! I also love being involved in my church. I am looking forward to getting to know each one of you!
