After college, she completed a five-year academic course at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN where she received her Doctorate degree. She is currently board eligible in prenatal and pediatric care from the nternational Chiropractic Pediatric Association and has completed 180 hours of post-graduate work toward her diplomate in the same specialization, a designation that few hold in Iowa.Dr. Tammy's passion is to serve pregnant women, children and families to equip them with the most genuine and complete care. She has had the honor of attending multiple births (medicated and non-medicated) as a labor support coach, and is pursuing completing her doula certification.
She feels that as a chiropractic physician who specializes in prenatal care and labor support, women have available to them the best and most complete pregnancy support and birth coaching for the healthiest outcome for you and your baby.
Dr. Zachary Watkins is a 2006 graduate of Northwestern Health Sciences University where he completed his five-year doctorate degree. He recently became board certified as an internist and is a board-eligible clinical nutritionist. Along with his board certification and eligibility, he has finished studies in Functional Medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences. He was involved with peer-reviewing the extensive textbook Integrative Rheumatology by Alex Vasquez, DC, ND, just completed a peer-review of Musculoskeletal Pain: Expanded Clinical Strategies for the Institute of Functional Medicine, and has accomplished many hours of research and study in the fields of health, biochemistry, physiology, nutrition, and nutraceuticals. Dr. Watkins is a Functionalist, a healthcare provider that utilizes orthomolecular and functional medicine that is specific to each person's individual health concern/s. He believes in the healthcare model of prevention, and natural methods to address health. Although there are many who believe this as well (and some doctors claim to practice it), it is unfortunately not appropriately administered. As a result, confusion, frustration, and even disbelief all set in with the patient not receiving any answers concerning their own health needs. With his background and experience, it is the goal of Dr. Watkins to see his patients understand true, optimal health and that the sole responsibility of being well for many years lies upon themselves along with the aided effort and recommendations of a nutritionally-oriented physician.
