Meet Heidi Perrin, our Office Manager, who joined our team in August of 2025. She brings 25 plus years of hard work and experience to her role, and we are happy to have her! You'll typically see her right up front as you walk through the doors for your chiropractic care, all while she manages behind the scenes for us. Heidi values her family more than anything and spends as much of her free time as she can with them. She has four children, three grandchildren, and some fur grandkids who are all her absolute pride and joy. You can catch her gardening and canning all summer/fall long, or outdoors enjoying nature and sunshine during the nicer Iowa months.
