Today we are spotlighting our magnificent Massage Therapist, Lateasha!

1. Why did you want to work in chiropractic?
"As a massage therapist in the chiro environment, there is much more of a wellness mindset. I find that working with clients that understand what it takes to feel better is a both/and process. Knowing that what you do in your day to day also plays a role in what is done in your hour massage. Looking at the whole picture as to why someone has pain or tension has the opportunity to be much more investigative in a chiropractic setting than others. This is an approach I naturally take when seeing clients."

2. What's your favorite part about working at ALC?
"I love working as a team. Knowing we can all collaborate to work towards achieving better results. The opportunity to suggest things that our coworker has more experience in or expertise makes me really enjoy the environment Active Life stands for. There is only so much that I, as a massage therapist, can do in the realm of the whole person approach. Other times, addressing the muscles and the tension they can carry, can be a missing piece to someone's healing."

3. What's your favorite smell and why?
"Freshly baled hay - it reminds me of hauling square bales as a kid with my family and the upcoming harvest we would tackle together. 🌾"

4. What song from your teenage years do you still jam to when no one is listening?
" "Superbass" by Nicki Minaj."

5. What's your favorite random fun fact?
"Baking soda is a dry base and baking powder is a dry acid (usually cream of tartar combined with a dry base). If a recipe calls for baking powder you can use baking soda and another acidic liquid like vinegar or lemon juice or even your dry acid like cream of tartar.Baking soda is a dry base and baking powder is a dry acid (usually cream of tartar combined with a dry base).

They are running a tight ship and great restaurant that serves homemade good German cooking! Head to Main in Mandan and try out Ohm’s and tell them that Active Life sent you. 🎉🎉

We love being a sponsor for our favorite local teams! We just received a thank you note from this one. Did you see the 2024 Demons Fastpitch team this spring?

Congrats Demons. 🥎

We had our annual Active Life lake day today. Great day with great people! So thankful for this group! 💕
