First and foremost I’m a mother and wife to my beautiful family. My three year old son Hawkins, one year old daughter Shiloh, and husband Hunter are the lights of my life! As a passionate follower of Jesus I truly believe one of my biggest callings has been to my family, but also my patients. I recently left the clinical side of holistic dentistry to focus on caring for my family full time. The community of patients and relationships I left behind with this transition left a giant void, stemming from my enormous passion for this field of work. This void is largely there because I know firsthand how hard it is to find honest, holistic-centered, unbiased advice when it comes to oral health and recommended dental procedures. This has been my focus of study and passion for so many years. With all of this knowledge I have attained I knew I could still help— but how! Along side Dr. Lokensgard, this is our “new” how.

​

I am a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH, BS) with a focus on Holistic and Biological Dentistry. I am certified with the top holistic dental organization, The International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM). I have been in the dental field for over ten years. Starting out in traditional dentistry (as we all do) I witnessed the mouth-body connection through the experiences of my patients. With every continued visit my patient's oral health and systemic health got worse and worse. More tooth decay, more bleeding gums, more tacked on health conditions with every medical history update…my patients are trying their best— what gives!? 

That is where I finally started to study on my own. Where traditional dentistry failed me, holistic and biological dentistry saved me (and my patients). I owe so much of my education and training to Dr. Lokensgard who has been an amazing source of knowledge and support. As my mentor he guided my UNLEARNING that was necessary in order to embrace holistic and biological dentistry to it's fullest. Together we are making changes in the dental world for the BETTER.
